Each Lender that has submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer with an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject to any required pro-rata reduction pursuant to the following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (each such Lender, a “ Qualifying Lender ”).

(c) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds, then:

(i) if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the applicable Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and

(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon for the

-57-

period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “ Compensation Period ”) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.12(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II , and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV or in the applicable Incremental Amendment, Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c) .

(f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.04 . If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Loan Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may (to the fullest extent permitted by mandatory provisions of applicable Law), but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Loan Obligations then owing to such Lender.

Section 2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders . If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable

-58-

share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement as in effect from time to time or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant permitted hereunder. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.08 ) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

Section 2.14 Incremental Credit Extensions .

(a) Incremental Commitment . The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (an “ Incremental Loan Request ”), request one or more new tranches of term loans which may be in the same Facility as any outstanding Loans (a “ Loan Increase ”) or a new Class of term loans (collectively with any Loan Increase, the “ Incremental Commitments ”), whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders.

(b) Incremental Loans . Any Incremental Commitments effected through the establishment of new Loans made on an Incremental Facility Closing Date shall be designated a separate Class of Incremental Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement. On any Incremental Facility Closing Date on which any Incremental Commitments of any Class are effected (including through any Loan Increase), subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions in this Section 2.14 , (i) each Incremental Lender of such Class shall make a Loan to the Borrower (an “ Incremental Loan ”) in an amount equal to its Incremental Commitment of such Class and (ii) each Incremental Lender of such Class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Incremental Commitment of such Class and the Incremental Loans of such Class made pursuant thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Incremental Loans may have identical terms to any of the Loans and be treated as the same Class as any of such Loans.

(c) Incremental Loan Request . Each Incremental Loan Request from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Loans. Incremental Loans may be made by any existing Lender (but each existing Lender will not have an obligation to make any Incremental Commitment, nor will the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing lenders to provide any Incremental Commitment) or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “ Additional Lender ”) (each such existing Lender or Additional Lender providing such Incremental Commitment, an “ Incremental Lender ”); provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Loans to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 10.06(b) for an assignment of Loans to such Lender or Additional Lender.

(d) Effectiveness of Incremental Amendment . The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment, and the Incremental Commitments thereunder, shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (the “ Incremental Facility Closing Date ”) of each of the following conditions:

(i) (x) if the proceeds of such Incremental Commitments are being used to finance a Permitted Acquisition, no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or (f)  shall have occurred and be continuing or would exist after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments, or (y) if otherwise, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would exist after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments;

-59-

(ii) after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments, (a) the representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in Article V and in each other Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be true and correct in all respects as so qualified) on and as of the effective date of such Incremental Amendment with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received a Request for Credit Extension in accordance with the requirements hereof; provided that if the proceeds of such Incremental Commitments are being used to finance a Permitted Acquisition, the reference in clause (a) above to the accuracy of the representations and warranties shall refer to the accuracy of the representations and warranties that would constitute Specified Representations;

(iii) [Reserved];

(iv) each Incremental Commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10.0 million and shall be in an increment of $1.0 million in excess thereof (provided that such amount may be less than $10.0 million if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence);

(v) the aggregate amount of the Incremental Loans shall not exceed the sum of (A) $150.0 million plus (B) additional amounts so long as the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, determined on a pro forma basis as of the last day of the most recently ended period of four consecutive fiscal quarters for which financial statements are internally available, as if any Incremental Loans available under such Incremental Commitments had been outstanding on the last day of such period, and excluding the cash proceeds of any such Incremental Loans and as if any Permitted Acquisition or Investment to be made with the proceeds of such Incremental Loans had been consummated, does not exceed 3.50:1.00 plus (C) all voluntary prepayments of the Facility made prior to the Incremental Facility Closing Date that are not financed with the incurrence of Refinancing Debt; provided that (x) the Borrower may elect to use clause (B) or (C) prior to clause (A), and if clauses (A), (B) and (C) are available and the Borrower does not make an election, the Borrower will be deemed to have elected clause (B) and if only clauses (A) and (C) are available, the Borrower will be deemed to have elected clause (C), and (y) in the case of any transaction that provides for the incurrence of Incremental Loans under clause (B) and under clause (A) and/or clause (C), compliance with the above applicable leverage ratio shall be determined for purposes of such clause (B) by giving the single transaction pro forma effect but excluding in such determination the aggregate amount of indebtedness (and deemed indebtedness) from any such incurrence and increase utilizing such clause (A) or (C); and

(vi) such other conditions as the Borrower, each Incremental Lender providing such Incremental Commitments and the Administrative Agent shall agree.

(e) Required Terms . The terms, provisions and documentation of the Incremental Loans and Incremental Commitments of any Class shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Commitments, and except as otherwise set forth herein, to the extent not identical to the Loans each existing on the Incremental Facility Closing Date, shall be reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent; provided that with respect to Incremental Loans incurred within 18 months of the Closing Date, if the Effective Yield for Eurocurrency Rate Loans in respect of such Incremental Loans exceeds the Effective Yield for Eurocurrency Rate Loans in respect of the Initial Loans by more than 0.50% (such difference, the “ Term Yield Differential ”), the Applicable Rate for Eurocurrency Rate Loans in respect of the Initial Loans shall be adjusted so that the Effective Yield in respect of the Initial Loans is equal to the Effective Yield for Eurocurrency Rate Loans in respect of the Incremental Loans minus 0.50%; provided , further that to the extent any portion of the Term Yield Differential is attributable to a higher “LIBOR floor” being applicable to such Incremental Loans, such floor shall only be included in the calculation of the Term Yield Differential to the extent such floor is greater than the Eurocurrency Rate in effect for an Interest Period of three months’ duration at such time, and, with respect to such excess, the “LIBOR floor” applicable to the outstanding Loans shall be increased to an amount not to exceed the “LIBOR floor” applicable to such Incremental Loans prior to any increase in the Applicable Rate applicable to

-60-

such Loans then outstanding (it being understood that to the extent any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of any Incremental Loans and Incremental Commitments, no consent shall be required from the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant is also added for the benefit of any corresponding existing Facility). In any event:

(i) the Incremental Loans:

(A) shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and of security with the Loans,

(B) shall not mature earlier than the Latest Maturity Date of any Loans outstanding at the time of incurrence of such Incremental Loans,

(C) shall have an Average Life not shorter than the remaining Average Life of then-existing Loans,

(D) shall have an Applicable Rate, and subject to clauses (e)(i)(B) and (e)(i)(C) above, amortization determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders, which, in each case, shall be set forth in each applicable Incremental Amendment, and

(E) the Incremental Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of Loans hereunder, as specified in the applicable Incremental Amendment; and

(ii) the security interests and guaranties benefiting the Incremental Loans shall be identical to those benefiting the Loans incurred on the Closing Date.

(f) Incremental Amendment . Commitments in respect of Incremental Loans shall become 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 Incremental Lender providing such Commitments and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any Loan Party, Agent or 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 effect the provisions of this Section 2.14 . The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Loans for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Loans, unless it so agrees.

(g) This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.

Section 2.15 Refinancing Amendments.

(a) On one or more occasions after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any other bank, financial institution or other institutional lender or investor that agrees to provide any portion of Refinancing Loans pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment in accordance with this Section 2.15 (each, an “ Additional Refinancing Lender ”) ( provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Lender’s or Additional Refinancing Lender’s making such Refinancing Loans to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 10.06(b) for an assignment of Loans to such Lender or Additional Refinancing Lender) Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of any Class of Loans then outstanding under this Agreement, in the form of Refinancing Loans or Refinancing Commitments pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment.

(b) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) customary legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date other than changes to such legal opinion resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the

-61-

Administrative Agent and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents.

(c) Each issuance of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness under this Section 2.15(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $10.0 million and (y) an integral multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof.

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto and (ii) make such other changes to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents consistent with the provisions and intent of the second paragraph of Section 10.01 (without the consent of the Required Lenders called for therein) and (iii) effect such other 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 2.15 , and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Refinancing Amendment.

Section 2.16 Extension of Loans .

(a) Generally . The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Loans of a given Class (each, an “ Existing Loan Tranche ”) be amended to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Loans (any such Loans which have been so amended, “ Extended Loans ”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.16 . In order to establish any Extended Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Loan Tranche) (each, a “ Extension Request ”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Loans to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Loan Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Loan Tranche and (y) be identical to the Loans under the Existing Loan Tranche from which such Extended Loans are to be amended, except that: (i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Loans of such Existing Loan Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) the Effective Yield with respect to the Extended Loans (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the Effective Yield for the Loans of such Existing Loan Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Loans); and (iv) Extended Loans may have call protection as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof; provided that no Extended Loans may be optionally prepaid prior to the date on which all Loans with an earlier final stated maturity (including Loans under the Existing Loan Tranche from which they were amended) are repaid in full, unless such optional prepayment is accompanied by at least a pro rata optional prepayment of such other Loans; provided , however , that (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time an Extension Request is delivered to Lenders, (B) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Loans of a given Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date of any then existing Loans hereunder, (C) the Average Life of any Extended Loans of a given Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof shall be no shorter (other than by virtue of amortization or prepayment of such Indebtedness prior to the time of incurrence of such Extended Loans) than the remaining Average Life of any Existing Loan Tranche, (D) any such Extended Loans (and the Liens securing the same) shall be permitted by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (to the extent such Intercreditor Agreement is then in effect), (E) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing and (F) any Extended Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Request. Any Extended Loans amended pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “ Extension Series ”) of Extended Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Loans amended from an Existing Loan Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Extension Series with respect to such

-62-

Existing Loan Tranche. Each Extension Series of Extended Loans incurred under this Section 2.16 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10.0 million.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Extension Request . The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Loan Tranche are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.16 . No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Loans of any Existing Loan Tranche amended into Extended Loans pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender holding a Loan under an Existing Loan Tranche (each, an “ Extending Lender ”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Loans under the Existing Loan Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “ Extension Election ”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Loans under the Existing Loan Tranche which it has elected to request be amended into Extended Loans (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Loans under the Existing Loan Tranche in respect of which applicable Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Loans requested to be extended pursuant to the Extension Request, Loans subject to Extension Elections shall be amended to Extended Loans on a pro rata basis (subject to rounding by the Administrative Agent, which shall be conclusive) based on the aggregate principal amount of Loans included in each such Extension Election.

(d) Extension Amendment . Extended Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, an “ Extension Amendment ”) to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Lender, providing an Extended Loan thereunder, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 2.16(a) (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). The effectiveness of any Extension Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date other than changes to such legal opinion resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that the Extended Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Loans incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) modify the scheduled repayments set forth in Section 2.07 with respect to any Existing Loan Tranche subject to an Extension Election to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of the Loans thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Loans amended pursuant to the applicable Extension (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Loans required pursuant to Section 2.07 ), (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in Section 2.05 to reflect the existence of the Extended Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto, (iv) make such other changes to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents consistent with the provisions and intent of the second paragraph of Section 10.01 (without the consent of the Required Lenders called for therein) and (v) effect such other 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 2.16 , and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment.

(e) No conversion of Loans pursuant to any Extension in accordance with this Section 2.16 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, INCREASED COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

Section 3.01 Taxes .

(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes .

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Law be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Law requires any Withholding Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as reasonably determined by such Withholding Agent.

(ii) If the applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both U.S. federal backup withholding and non-resident withholding Taxes, from any payment, then (A) such Withholding Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are reasonably determined by such Withholding Agent to be required by applicable Law, (B) such Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased by such Loan Party as necessary so that after any required withholding or deductions for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes have been made (including withholding or deductions for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01 ) the applicable Lender (or, in the case of payments made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower . Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(c) Tax Indemnifications . Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a)  or (b)  above, the Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01 ) payable by such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability (along with a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts) delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If the Borrower reasonably believes that any such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Administrative Agent and/or each affected Lender will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower in pursuing a refund of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of the Administrative Agent or affected Lender, result in any additional costs, expenses or risks or be otherwise disadvantageous to it.

(d) Evidence of Payments . After any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01 , the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by applicable Law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation .

-64-

(i) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law or by the Governmental Authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not any payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of any payments to be made to such Lender by any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding Tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. Any documentation and information required to be delivered by a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.01(e) (including any specific documentation set forth in subsection (ii)  below) shall be delivered by such Lender (i) on or prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), (ii) on or before any date on which such documentation expires or becomes obsolete, (iii) after the occurrence of any change in the Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent documentation previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (iv) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and each such Lender shall promptly notify in writing the Borrower and the Administrative Agent if such Lender is no longer legally eligible to provide any documentation previously provided.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent executed originals of IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and

(B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to any payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor form thereto) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party;

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form thereto);

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 , to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no interest payments are effectively connected income (a “Non-Bank Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN;

(4) where such Lender is a partnership (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or otherwise not a beneficial owner (e.g., where such Lender has sold a participation), IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto) and all required supporting documentation (including, where one or more of the underlying beneficial owner(s) is claiming the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption, a Non-Bank Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 , Exhibit G-3 or Exhibit G-4 of such beneficial owner(s) ( provided that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and not a participating Lender, the applicable Non-Bank Certificate(s) may be provided by the Foreign Lender on behalf of the beneficial owner(s)); or

(5) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax together with such

supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iii) 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 applicable 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 whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iii) , “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iv) If the Administrative Agent is a “United States person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), it shall provide the Borrower with two duly completed original copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.

If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01 , such Recipient 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 Loan Parties under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) incurred by the such Recipient, 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 the Borrower, upon the request of such Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Recipient in the event such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. In such event, such Recipient shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant Governmental Authority ( provided that such Recipient may delete any information therein that it deems confidential). This Section 3.01(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(g) Delays in Requests . Failure or delay on the part of any Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.01 shall not constitute a waiver of such Recipient’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Recipient pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.01 for any incremental interest, additions to tax, penalties or expenses resulting from the failure of such Recipient to notify the Borrower no later than 180 days after such Recipient receives notification from the applicable Governmental Authority of the claim giving rise to such request for compensation.

-66-

Section 3.02 Illegality . If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon Eurocurrency Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, in respect of Loans, (A) then (i) within fifteen (15) days after any notice given to the Borrower by the affected Lender or Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations in good faith with a view to agreeing to an alternative interest rate acceptable to the Borrower to maintain affected Loans and (ii) if, at the expiration of thirty (30) days from the giving of such notice by such Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall not have reached an agreement, such Loans will bear interest at a rate per annum reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost of funds of representative participating members in the London interbank eurodollar market selected by the Administrative Agent for maintaining loans similar to the Loans plus the Applicable Rate. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates . If the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Loan or a continuation thereof that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Loan, or (iii) the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (i) within fifteen (15) days after any notice given to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations in good faith with a view to agreeing to an alternative interest rate acceptable to the Borrower to maintain affected Loans and (ii) if, at the expiration of thirty (30) days from the giving of such notice by such Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall not have reached an agreement, such Loans will bear interest at a rate per annum reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost of funds of representative participating members in the London interbank eurodollar market selected by the Administrative Agent for maintaining loans similar to the Loans plus the Applicable Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or continuation of Loans.

Section 3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Loans .

(iii) impose on any Lender (or its Lending Office) or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such 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 by delivery of a certificate pursuant to subsection (c)  of this Section 3.04 , the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital and Liquidity Requirements . If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding liquidity or capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the

-67-

capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Initial Loan Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender 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 liquidity requirements and capital adequacy), then from time to time, upon request by delivery of a certificate pursuant to subsection (c)  of this Section 3.04 , the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement . A certificate of a Lender prepared in good faith setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a)  or (b)  of this Section 3.04 and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof by the Borrower.

(d) Delays in Requests . Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof); provided , further , that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender for increased costs or reductions suffered more than nine months after such Change in Law, except that in the case of any such change having retroactive effect such period shall be extended until nine months after the Lender becomes aware of such change.

Section 3.05 Compensation for Losses . Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(i) any continuation, payment or prepayment of any Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or

(ii) any failure by a Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05 , each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such 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 Loan was in fact so funded.

Section 3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders .

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office . If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04 , or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 , or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02 , then such Lender shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04 , as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02 , as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

-68-

(b) Replacement of Lenders . If a Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04 , or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 , the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13 .

AGENTS

Section 9.01 Appointment and Authority .

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

(b) Collateral Agent . The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent under the Collateral Documents, and the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Collateral Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Documents and the other Loan Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and in connection therewith hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreement and any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement whereby the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders, agrees to be bound by the terms of the Security Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents in their capacities as a “Secured Party” under and as defined in the Security Agreement. In this connection, the Collateral Agent, as “Collateral Agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Secured Parties (under and as defined in the Security Agreement) required pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X (as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities hereunder or thereunder nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any Loan Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement and the Collateral Documents or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement or any other Loan Document with reference to the Collateral 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 merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which the Collateral Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the exercise of remedies pursuant to Article VIII , and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

(c) If at any time or times the Administrative Agent shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, set-off or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Loan Obligations arising under, or relating to, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for any such proceeds or payments received by the

-103-

Administrative Agent from the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) payments from the Collateral Agent in excess of the amount required to be paid to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article VIII , the Administrative Agent shall promptly turn the same over to the Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Collateral Agent.

(d) The Collateral Agent is the Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code can be perfected only by possession. Should the Administrative Agent obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon request from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

Section 9.02 Rights as a Lender . The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions . The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent 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 the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and

(iii) shall not, 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 their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02 ) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default as such is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be

created by the Collateral Documents or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent . The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must 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 notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 9.05 Delegation of Duties . The Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. The Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent.

Section 9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent . The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 9.06 . Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.06 ). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Section 9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders . Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit

-105-

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

Section 9.08 No Other Duties, Etc . Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers or other agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or a Lender hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Bookrunners, the Arrangers, or other agents listed on the cover page hereof in their respective capacities as such, shall by reason of any Loan Document, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Loan Party, Lender or any other Person.

Section 9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim . In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Loan Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Senior Credit Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04 ) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04 .

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

Section 9.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters . Each of the Lenders irrevocably agrees to (and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act in accordance with) the following:

(a) Subject to Section 9.10(b) , Collateral may be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Collateral Documents at any time or from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Documents or as provided hereby. The Borrower and the Guarantors will be entitled to a release of property and other assets included in the Collateral from the Liens securing the Loan Obligations, and the Administrative Agent shall release, or instruct the Collateral Agent to release, as applicable, the same from such Liens at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, under one or more of the following circumstances:

-106-

(b) The Administrative Agent shall, or shall cause the Collateral Agent, to execute, deliver or acknowledge (at the Borrower’s expense) such instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Agreement or the Collateral Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such release undertaken in good faith.

(c) The second-priority Lien on the ABL Collateral securing the Loan Obligation will terminate and be released automatically if the first-priority Liens on the ABL Collateral are released by the ABL Collateral Agent in connection with a sale, transfer or disposition of ABL Collateral that occurs after the occurrence of an event of default under the ABL Facility permitting the acceleration of the ABL Lenders Debt or in connection with the foreclosure of, or other exercise of remedies with respect to, such ABL Collateral by the collateral agent under the ABL Facility (except with respect to any proceeds of such sale, transfer or disposition that remain after the Discharge of ABL Obligation).

Section 9.11 Withholding Tax . To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equal to any applicable withholding Tax. If the IRS or any Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from any amount paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Borrower to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties, additions to Tax or interest thereon, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.11 . The agreements in this Section 9.11 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Loans and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under this Agreement. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender.

Holdings and the Borrower, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Arranger, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “ Indemnitee ”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonably related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of the Borrower’s or such Loan Party’s directors, shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 10.04 shall not apply to Taxes, except any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities or reasonably related expenses arising from a non-Tax claim.

The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c)  are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(e) .

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no Borrower or Indemnitee shall assert, and each Borrower and Indemnitee hereby waives, any claim, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument

-112-

contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof provided that the foregoing will not limit the Borrower’s indemnity or reimbursement obligations otherwise set forth in this Section 10.04 . No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b)  above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Payments . All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor; provided , however , that such Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount to the extent that there is a final judicial or arbitral determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification or contribution rights with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this Section 10.04 .

Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer, shall be construed to confer, or shall confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d)  of this Section 10.06 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

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

-113-

(i) Minimum Amounts .

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section 10.06 , the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1.0 million unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided , however , that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

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

(iii) Required Consents . No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section 10.06 and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment of any Loans unless it shall have objected thereto by notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after a Responsible Officer of the Borrower having received written notice thereof; provided , further , that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for (i) an assignment of all or any portion of the Loans to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, or (ii) if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to the Borrower, Section 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing or (iii) an assignment of all or a portion of the Loans pursuant to Section 10.06(g) ; and

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption . The parties to each assignment shall execute (except as otherwise contemplated in the penultimate sentence of Section 10.13 ) and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided , however , that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 10.06 , from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, (1) other than in connection with an assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(i) , the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and

-114-

obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 , 3.04 , 3.05 and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection (b)  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 Section 10.06(d) .

(c) Register . The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and each notice of cancellation of any Loans delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.06(i) , and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal and interest amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “ Register ”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender with respect with its own position only, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 10.06(c) and Section 2.11 shall be construed so that all Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 163(f) , 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury regulations). In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or other substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register. Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Assumption 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 subsection (b)  above, if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent, if required, and, if required, the Borrower to such assignment and any applicable tax forms required pursuant to Section 3.01(e)(1) , the Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) 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 subsection (c) .

(d) Participations . Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates) (each, a “ Participant ”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the 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. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clause (y)  of the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section 10.06 , the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 , 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations of those Sections, including Section 3.01(e) and Section 3.06 ) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b) (it being agreed that any documentation required to be provided under Section 3.01(e) shall be provided solely to the participating Lender). To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement

-115-

(the “ Participant Register ”), provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit or proceeding to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive and such Lender (and the Borrower, to the extent that the Participant requests payment from the Borrower) shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(e) Limitation upon Participant Rights . A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless (i) the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) or (ii) to the extent that any entitlement to a greater payment results from a Change in Law arising after such Participant became a Participant.

(f) Certain Pledges . Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Special Purpose Funding Vehicles . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “ Granting Lender ”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “ SPC ”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof.

(v) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

(vi) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that the Borrower has requested shall become effective upon giving effect to such replacement (and any related Assignment and Assumptions required to be effected in connection therewith in accordance with this Section 10.13 ).

In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to an amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of each Lender and that has been approved by the Required Lenders (or, in the case of a consent, waiver or amendment involving all affected Lenders of a certain class, the Required Class Lenders as applicable), then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “ Non-Consenting Lender .”

In connection with any replacement, if any such Non-Consenting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Assumption reflecting such replacement within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption Agreement to such Non-Consenting Lender, then such Non- Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption without any action on the part of the Non-Consenting Lender.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(b) any Lien of the Prior Lien Agent on the Term Priority Collateral securing Prior Lien Obligations, whether such Lien is now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the Prior Lien Agent, any other Prior Lien Claimholder or any other agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how or when acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be senior in all respects to all Liens on the Term Priority Collateral securing any Subordinated Lien Obligations.

2.2. Prohibition on Contesting Liens . Each of the Term Agents, on behalf of the applicable Term Claimholder, and the ABL Agent, on behalf of each ABL Claimholder, consents to the granting of Liens in favor of the other Agents to secure the ABL Obligations and the Term Obligations, as applicable, and agrees that no Claimholder will be entitled to, and it will not (and shall be deemed to have irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right to), contest (directly or indirectly) or support (directly or indirectly) any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding): (a) the attachment, perfection, priority, validity or enforceability of any Lien in the Collateral held by or on behalf of any of the ABL Claimholders to secure the payment of the ABL Obligations or any of the Term Claimholders to secure the payment of the Term Obligations, (b) the priority, validity or enforceability of the ABL Obligations or the Term Obligations, including the allowability or priority of the ABL Obligations or the Term Obligations, as applicable, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, or (c) the validity or enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders or any Term Agent, on behalf of the applicable Term Claimholders to enforce this Agreement, including the provisions of this Agreement relating to the priority of the Liens securing the Obligations as provided in Sections 2.1 , 3.1 , 3.2 and 6.1 .

(a) grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property to secure any Term Obligations unless it has granted or concurrently grants a Lien on such asset or property to secure the ABL Obligations with the respective priorities required by Section 2.1 ;.

(b) grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property to secure any ABL Obligations unless it has granted or concurrently grants a Lien on such asset or property to secure the Term Obligations with the respective priorities required by Section 2.1 ;

-16-

Provided that the Company or any other Grantor may grant or permit additional Liens on assets and property of a Foreign Subsidiary to secure any ABL Obligation without granting such Lien to secure any Term Obligation.

To the extent any additional Liens are granted on any asset or property in contravention of this Section 2.3 for any reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available hereunder, the ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, and each Term Agent, on behalf of the applicable Term Claimholders, agree that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens granted in contravention of this Section 2.3 shall be subject to Section 4.2 .

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Subordinated Lien Agent and the other Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right to object (and seek or be awarded any relief of any nature whatsoever based on any such objection), at any time prior or subsequent to any disposition of any of the ABL Priority Collateral, on the ground(s) that any such disposition of ABL Priority Collateral (x) would not be or was not “commercially reasonable” within the meaning of any applicable UCC and/or (y) would not or did not comply with any other requirement under any applicable UCC or under any other applicable law governing the manner in which a secured creditor (including one with a Lien on real property) is to realize on its collateral;

(viii) it will not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to challenge the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement;

provided , however , that, in the case of (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the Liens granted to secure the Subordinated Lien Obligations of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall attach to any Proceeds resulting from actions taken by the Prior Lien Agent or any Prior Lien Claimholder with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral in accordance with the respective priorities set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement after

-18-

application of such Proceeds to the extent necessary to meet the requirements of a Discharge of Prior Lien Obligations.

(b) Until the Discharge of Prior Lien Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, the Prior Lien Agent and the other Prior Lien Claimholders shall have the right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set-off and, except as provided in Section 6.8 , the right to credit bid their debt) and, in connection therewith (including any Enforcement) make determinations regarding the release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of any Subordinated Lien Agent or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder; provided , however , that the Liens securing the Subordinated Lien Obligations shall remain on the Proceeds (other than those applied to the Prior Lien Obligations in accordance with Section 4.1 ) of such ABL Priority Collateral released or disposed of subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2.1 . In exercising rights, powers, and remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, the Prior Lien Agent and the Prior Lien Claimholders may enforce the provisions of the Prior Lien Documents and exercise rights, powers, and/or remedies thereunder and/or under applicable law or otherwise, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion.

(iii) file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Prior Lien Claimholders, including any claims secured by the ABL Priority Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(iv) file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under either any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or applicable law (including the Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction) and, subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 3.2 , any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to secured creditors solely with respect to the Term Priority Collateral;

-19-

the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of the other provisions of this Agreement, any vote to accept, and any other act to support the confirmation or approval of, any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization shall be inconsistent with and accordingly, a violation of the terms of this Agreement, and the Prior Lien Agent shall be entitled to have any such vote to accept a Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization changed and any such support of any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization withdrawn.

Each Subordinated Lien Agent, on behalf of the applicable Subordinated Lien Claimholders, agrees that no Subordinated Lien Claimholder will take or receive any ABL Priority Collateral (including Proceeds) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) in its capacity as a creditor in violation of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Prior Lien Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in Section 6.7 , the sole right of the Subordinated Lien Agents and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral is to hold a Lien on such Collateral pursuant to the Subordinated Lien Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the Proceeds thereof, if any, in accordance with Section 4.1 .

(e) Except as provided in Section 5.3(d) , nothing in this Section 3.1 shall prohibit the receipt by any Subordinated Lien Agent or any other Subordinated Lien Claimholders of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the Subordinated Lien Obligations so long as such (1) amounts are not being paid out of the Proceeds from the assignment, transfer, sale or other disposition (other than in the ordinary course of business) of ABL Priority Collateral, unless such Proceeds are permitted to be applied to the payment of Subordinated Lien Obligations under the ABL Loan Agreement; and (2) receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by any Subordinated Lien Agent or any Subordinated Lien Claimholders of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) with respect to ABL Priority Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. Nothing in this Section 3.1 impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the Prior Lien Agent or the Prior Lien Claimholders may have against the Grantors under the Prior Lien Documents.

3.3. Collateral Access Rights .

(a) If any Term Agent, or any agent or representative of any Term Agent, or any receiver, shall, after any Term Default, obtain possession or physical control of any of the Mortgaged Premises or any of the other Term Priority Collateral, such Term Agent shall promptly notify the ABL Agent in writing of that fact, and the ABL Agent shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days thereafter, notify such Term Agent in writing as to whether the ABL Agent desires to exercise access rights and/or use rights under this Section 3.3 . In addition, if the ABL Agent, or any agent or representative or the ABL Agent, or any receiver, shall obtain possession or physical control of any of the Mortgaged Premises or any of the Term Priority Collateral, then the ABL Agent shall promptly notify the Designated Term Agent in writing that the ABL Agent is exercising its access rights and/or use rights under this Agreement and its rights under Section 3.4 under either circumstance. Upon delivery of such notice by the ABL Agent to the Designated Term Agent, the parties shall confer in good faith to coordinate with respect to the ABL Agent’s exercise of such access rights and/or use rights. Consistent with the definition of “Access Period,” access rights may apply to differing assets comprising Term Priority Collateral at differing times, in which case, a differing Access Period will apply to each such asset.

(b) During any pertinent Access Period, the ABL Agent and its agents, representatives and designees shall have an irrevocable, non-exclusive right to have access to, and a rent-free right to use, the Term Priority Collateral for the purpose of (i) arranging for and effecting the sale or disposition of ABL Priority Collateral located on any Mortgaged Premises included within the Term Priority Collateral, including the production, completion, packaging and other preparation of such ABL Priority Collateral for sale or disposition, including by use of Term Priority Collateral consisting of Equipment, (ii) selling (by public auction, private sale or a “store closing”, “going out of business” or similar sale, whether in bulk, in lots or to customers in the ordinary course of business or otherwise and which sale may include augmented Inventory of the same type sold in any Grantor’s business), (iii) assembly, storing or otherwise dealing with the ABL Priority Collateral, (iv) removing any of the ABL Priority Collateral and (v) taking reasonable actions to protect, secure and otherwise enforce the rights of the ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders in and to the ABL Priority Collateral, in each case without notice to, the involvement of or interference by any Term Agent or any Term Claimholder or liability to any Term Agent or any Term Claimholder. During any such Access Period, the ABL Agent and its representatives (and persons employed on their behalf), may continue to operate, service, maintain, process and sell the ABL Priority Collateral, as well as to engage in bulk sales of ABL Priority Collateral. The ABL Agent shall take proper and reasonable care under the circumstances of any Term Priority Collateral that is used by the ABL Agent during the Access Period and repair and replace, or reimburse the applicable Term Agent or applicable Term Claimholders for, any damage (ordinary wear-and-tear excepted) caused by the ABL Agent or its agents, representatives or designees and the ABL Agent shall comply with all applicable laws in all material respects in connection with its use or occupancy of the Term Priority Collateral. The ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders shall reimburse the applicable Term Agent and the applicable Term Claimholders for any damage to Term Priority Collateral (ordinary wear-and-tear excepted) caused by the acts or omissions of Persons under the ABL Agent’s control; provided , however , that the ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders will not be liable for any diminution in the value of the Mortgaged Premises caused

-24-

by the absence of the ABL Priority Collateral therefrom. In no event shall the ABL Claimholders or the ABL Agent have any liability to the Term Claimholders and/or to any Term Agent hereunder as a result of any condition (including any environmental condition, claim or liability) on or with respect to the Term Priority Collateral existing prior to the date of the exercise by the ABL Agent of its rights under this Agreement. The ABL Agent and each Term Agent shall cooperate and use reasonable efforts to ensure that their activities during the Access Period as described above do not unduly interfere with the activities of the other as described above, including the right of each Term Agent to show the Term Priority Collateral to prospective purchasers and to ready the Term Priority Collateral for sale.

(c) Consistent with the definition of the term “Access Period”, if any order or injunction is issued or stay is granted or is otherwise effective by operation of law that prohibits the ABL Agent from exercising any of its rights hereunder, then the Access Period granted to the ABL Agent under this Section 3.3 shall be stayed during the period of such prohibition and shall continue thereafter for the number of days remaining as required under this Section 3.3 . The Term Agents shall not sell or dispose of any of the Term Priority Collateral during the Access Period, as applicable, unless the buyer agrees in writing to acquire the Term Priority Collateral subject to the terms of Section 3.3 and Section 3.4 of this Agreement and agrees therein to comply with the terms of this Section 3.3 . The rights of the ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders under this Section 3.3 and Section 3.4 during the Access Period shall continue notwithstanding such foreclosure, sale or other disposition by any Term Agent.

VI.

INSOLVENCY OR LIQUIDATION PROCEEDINGS.

6.1. Finance and Sale Issues . Each Subordinated Lien Agent, on behalf of the applicable Subordinated Lien Claimholders, hereby agrees that, until the Discharge of Prior Lien Obligations has occurred, if any Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the Prior Lien Agent or the Prior Lien Claimholders with respect to any of such Subordinated Lien Claimholders’ Subordinated Lien Collateral shall desire to permit the use of “cash collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) representing Proceeds of such Subordinated Lien Collateral or to permit any Grantor to obtain financing, whether from the Prior Lien Claimholders or any other Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (“ DIP Financing ”) secured by a Lien on such Subordinated Lien Collateral, then no Subordinated Lien Claimholder will be entitled to raise (and will not raise or support any Person in raising), but instead shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably and absolutely waived, any objection to, and shall not otherwise in any manner be entitled to oppose or will oppose or support any Person in opposing, such cash collateral use or DIP Financing (including, except as expressly provided below, any claim that the Subordinated Lien Claimholders are

-31-

entitled to adequate protection on account of their interests in such Subordinated Lien Collateral as a condition thereto) so long as such cash collateral use or DIP Financing meets the following requirements: (i) each Subordinated Lien Claimholder retains a Lien on its Subordinated Lien Collateral for any DIP Financing with, except as provided in the following sentence, the respective priorities provided in Section 2.1 , and (x) with respect to Subordinated Lien Collateral of the ABL Claimholders or cash collateral in respect thereof, no Lien is granted to secure such DIP Financing on any ABL Priority Collateral and no such cash collateral to be used constitutes Proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral unless the ABL Claimholders have consented thereto or (y) with respect to Subordinated Lien Collateral of the Term Claimholders or cash collateral in respect thereof, no Lien is granted to secure such DIP Financing on any Term Priority Collateral and no such cash collateral to be used constitutes Proceeds of Term Priority Collateral unless the Term Claimholders have consented thereto, (ii) to the extent that the Prior Lien Agent is granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on Collateral arising after the commencement of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the Subordinated Lien Claimholders are permitted to seek a Lien on such additional Collateral with, except as set forth in the following sentence, the relative priority set forth in Section 2.1 (and no Prior Lien Agent or Prior Lien Claimholder shall oppose any motion by any Subordinated Lien Claimholder to receive such a Lien), (iii) the terms of such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral do not require any Grantor to seek approval for any Plan of Reorganization that is not a Conforming Plan of Reorganization and (iv) the terms of such DIP Financing do not require such Subordinated Claimholders to extend additional credit pursuant to such DIP Financing. If requested by the Prior Lien Agent, each Subordinated Lien Agent and Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall be required to subordinate and will subordinate its Liens in its Subordinated Lien Collateral to the Liens securing any such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto, including any “carve-out” granting administrative priority status or Lien priority to secure repayment of fees and expenses of professionals retained by any debtor or creditors’ committee); provided that the Liens on such Subordinated Lien Collateral securing such DIP Financing rank pari passu with or senior to the Liens securing the Prior Lien Obligations. Each Subordinated Lien Agent on behalf of itself and the applicable Subordinated Lien Claimholders, agrees that no such Person shall provide to such Grantor any DIP Financing (or support any other Person in seeking to provide to any Grantor any such DIP Financing) to the extent that any Subordinated Lien Claimholder would, in connection with such financing, be granted a Lien on any of its Subordinated Lien Collateral unless the Prior Lien Claimholders shall have consented thereto.

6.2. Relief from the Automatic Stay . Until the Discharge of Prior Lien Obligations, each Subordinated Lien Agent, and the other Subordinated Lien Claimholders, agree that none of them shall seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any of their respective Subordinated Lien Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Prior Lien Agent for such Collateral (given or not given in its sole and absolute discretion), unless (a) the Prior Lien Agent already has filed a motion (which remains pending) for such relief with respect to its interest in such Collateral and (b) a corresponding motion, in the reasonable judgment of the applicable Subordinated Lien Agent, must be filed solely for the purpose of preserving such Subordinated Lien Agent’s ability to receive residual distributions pursuant to Section 4.1 , although the Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall otherwise remain subject to the applicable restrictions in Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 following the granting of any such relief from the automatic stay.

6.3. Adequate Protection . Prior to the Discharge of Prior Lien Obligations, each Subordinated Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Subordinated Lien Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall be entitled to contest and none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (but instead shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right):

-32-

(i) any request by the Prior Lien Agent or the other Prior Lien Claimholders for relief from the automatic stay with respect to the Subordinated Lien Collateral of such Subordinated Lien Claimholders; or

(ii) any request by the Prior Lien Agent or the other Prior Lien Claimholders for adequate protection with respect to the Subordinated Lien Collateral of such Subordinated Lien Claimholders; or

(iii) any objection by the Prior Lien Agent or the other Prior Lien Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Prior Lien Agent or the other Prior Lien Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to the Subordinated Lien Collateral of such Subordinated Lien Claimholders.

(b) Consistent with the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3 , and except as provided in Sections 6.1 and 6.7 , in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, no Subordinated Lien Claimholder shall be entitled (and each Subordinated Lien Claimholder shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right) to seek or otherwise be granted any type of adequate protection with respect to its interests in its Subordinated Lien Collateral (except as expressly set forth in Section 6.1 or as may otherwise be consented to in writing by the Prior Lien Agent with respect to such Collateral in its sole and absolute discretion); provided , however , subject to Section 6.1 , Subordinated Lien Claimholders may seek and obtain adequate protection in the form of an additional or replacement Liens on Collateral so long as (i) the Prior Lien Claimholders have been granted adequate protection in the form of a replacement lien on such Collateral, and (ii) any such Lien on Subordinated Lien Collateral (and on any Collateral granted as adequate protection for the Subordinated Lien Claimholders in respect of their interest in such Subordinated Lien Collateral) is subordinated to the Liens of the Prior Lien Agent in such Collateral on the same basis as the other Liens of the Subordinated Lien Agents on Subordinated Lien Collateral; and

(c) Nothing herein shall limit the rights of any Prior Lien Agent or the Prior Lien Claimholders to seek adequate protection with respect to their rights in their Prior Lien Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise) so long as such request is not otherwise inconsistent with this Agreement.

6.4. Avoidance Issues . If any Prior Lien Claimholder is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the applicable Grantor any amount paid in respect of ABL Obligations or the Term Obligations, as applicable (a “ Recovery ”), then such ABL Claimholders or Term Claimholders shall be entitled to a reinstatement of ABL Obligations or the Term Obligations, as applicable, with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated with respect to any Claimholder prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement or with respect to any amounts previously received.

6.5. Reorganization Securities . Subject to the ability of the ABL Claimholders and the Term Claimholders, as applicable, to support or oppose confirmation or approval of any Conforming Plan of Reorganization or to oppose confirmation or approval of any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization, as provided herein, if, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization, both on account of Prior Lien Obligations and on account of Subordinated Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Prior Lien Obligations and on account of the Subordinated Lien Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the

-33-

provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the debt obligations so distributed, to the Liens securing such debt obligations and the distribution of Proceeds thereof.

6.6. Post-Petition Interest . No Subordinated Lien Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Prior Lien Agent or any Prior Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Prior Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien on such Prior Lien Claimholder’s Prior Lien Collateral, without regard to the existence of the Subordinated Lien Obligations with respect to such Collateral.

6.7. Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification . The ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, and each Term Agent on behalf of the applicable Term Claimholders, acknowledge and intend that: the respective grants of Liens pursuant to the ABL Security Documents and the Term Loan Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens, and because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, such that the Term Obligations and the ABL Obligations are fundamentally different and, in each case, must be separately classified in any Plan of Reorganization proposed or confirmed (or approved) in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the Term Claimholders and the ABL Claimholders, in each case, in respect of the Collateral constitute claims in the same class (rather than at least two separate classes of secured claims with the priorities described in Section 2.1 ), then the ABL Claimholders and the Term Claimholders hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were two separate classes of ABL Obligations and Term Obligations (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of their Prior Lien Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Subordinated Lien Claimholders thereon), the Prior Lien Claimholders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees or expenses that is available from their Prior Lien Collateral, before any distribution is made in respect of the Subordinated Lien Obligations with respect to such Collateral, with each Subordinated Lien Claimholder acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Prior Lien Agent with respect to such Collateral amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries of the Subordinated Lien Obligations.

6.8. Asset Dispositions in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding .

(a) Without limiting the Prior Lien Agent’s and the Prior Lien Claimholders’ rights under Section 3.1(b) , neither any Subordinated Lien Agent nor any other Subordinated Lien Claimholder shall, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or disposition of any ABL Priority Collateral that is supported by the Prior Lien Claimholders, and each Subordinated Lien Agent and each other Subordinated Lien Claimholder will be deemed to have irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any sale of any ABL Priority Collateral supported by the Prior Lien Claimholders and to have released their Liens on such assets; provided that to the extent the Proceeds of such Collateral are not applied to reduce Prior Lien Obligations or any DIP Financing secured by a prior Lien on such ABL Priority Collateral, each Subordinated Lien Agent shall retain a Lien on such Proceeds with the respective priorities described in Section 2.1 . Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall not be construed to in any way limit or impair the right of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders from exercising a credit bid in a sale or other disposition of their Subordinated Lien Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided that in connection with and immediately after giving effect to such sale and credit bid there occurs a Discharge of Prior Lien Obligations.

-34-

(b) Without limiting the Prior Lien Agent’s and the Prior Lien Claimholders’ rights under Section 3.2(b) , neither any Subordinated Lien Agent nor any other Subordinated Lien Claimholder shall, in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or disposition of any Term Priority Collateral that is supported by the Prior Lien Claimholders (but in the case of the ABL Claimholders, subject to their rights under Section 3.3(d) ), and each Subordinated Lien Agent and each other Subordinated Lien Claimholder will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any sale of any Term Priority Collateral supported by the Prior Lien Claimholders and to have released their Liens on such assets; provided that to the extent the Proceeds of such Collateral are not applied to reduce Prior Lien Obligations or any DIP Financing secured by a prior Lien on such Term Priority Collateral, each Subordinated Lien Agent shall retain a Lien on such Proceeds with the respective priorities described in Section 2.1 ; provided further that the ABL Agent’s and the ABL Claimholders’ rights under Sections 3.3 and 3.4 shall survive any such sale or disposition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall not be construed to in any way limit or impair the right of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders from exercising a credit bid in a sale or other disposition of their Subordinated Lien Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided that in connection with and immediately after giving effect to such sale and credit bid there occurs a Discharge of Prior Lien Obligations.

8.2. Effectiveness; Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability . This Agreement shall become effective when executed and delivered by the parties hereto (it being understood that this Agreement shall become effective among the Grantors, the ABL Claimholders and the Term Claimholders upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by the ABL Agent, the Initial Term Agent and the Grantors party hereto on the date hereof). This is a continuing agreement of Lien subordination (as opposed to an agreement of debt or claim subordination), and the ABL Claimholders and the Term Claimholders may continue, at any time and without notice to any other Agent or Claimholder, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of any Grantor in reliance hereon. Each of the Agents, on behalf of the applicable Claimholders, as applicable, hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waives any right any Claimholder may have under applicable law to revoke this Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Consistent with, but not in limitation of, the preceding sentence, each of the Agents, on behalf of the applicable Claimholders irrevocably acknowledges that this Agreement constitutes a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of both New York law and Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. All references to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as debtor and debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for any Grantor (as applicable) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect subject to the rights provided to Prior Lien Claimholders under Section 6.4 :

(a) with respect to the ABL Agent, the ABL Claimholders and the ABL Obligations, the date on which the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and

-37-

(b) with respect to the Term Agents, the Term Claimholders and the Term Obligations, the date on which the Discharge of Term Obligations has occurred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

8.3. Amendments; Waivers . Except as provided in the following sentence, no amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of each party hereto or its authorized agent and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Grantor shall have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent its rights are directly affected or any liability or obligation is imposed on it or any existing liability or obligations is increased.

With respect to the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets that any of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders actually pay over to the Prior Lien Agent or the Prior Lien Claimholders under the terms of this Agreement, the Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall be subrogated to the rights of such Prior Lien Claimholders; provided , however , that each Subordinated Lien Agent, on behalf of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, hereby agrees not to assert or enforce all such rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of Prior Lien Obligations has occurred. The Grantors acknowledge and agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets received by the Subordinated Lien Claimholders that are paid over to the Prior Lien Claimholders pursuant to this Agreement shall not reduce any of the Subordinated Lien Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.5 , none of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall have any claim against any of the Prior Lien Claimholders for any impairment of any subrogation rights herein granted to the Subordinated Lien Claimholders.

Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Term Claimholder (other than any Term Agent) and each ABL Claimholder (other than the ABL Agent), shall not be entitled to take or file, but instead shall be precluded from taking or filing (whether in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise), any action, judicial or otherwise, to enforce any right or power or pursue any remedy under this Agreement (including any declaratory judgment or other action to interpret or otherwise enforce the provisions of this Agreement), except solely as provided in the proviso in the preceding sentence.

8.18. Interpretation . This Agreement is a product of negotiations among representatives of, and has been reviewed by counsel to, the Term Agents, the ABL Agent and the Grantors and is the product of those Persons on behalf of themselves and the Term Claimholders (in the case of the Term Agents) and the ABL Claimholders (in the case of the ABL Claimholders). Accordingly, this Agreement’s provisions shall not be construed against, or in favor of, any part or other Person merely by virtue of that party or other Person’s involvement, or lack of involvement, in the preparation of this Agreement and of any of its specific provisions.
