Consolidated EBITDA shall be calculated for each period, on a pro forma basis, after giving effect to, without duplication, any Major Permitted Business Expansion Project, any Permitted Acquisition and any Material Disposition occurring during each period, as the case may be, and as if such Major Permitted Business Expansion Project, Permitted Acquisition and Material Disposition occurred or was completed on the first day of such period; provided that with regard to each Permitted Acquisition (x) such pro forma adjustment shall not exceed by more than 15%, either (1) the actual EBITDA of the Person or assets being acquired for the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters ending on or prior to the date of determination or (2) the actual EBITDA of the Person or assets being acquired for the immediately preceding eight fiscal quarters ending on or prior to the date of determination divided by two, as elected by the Borrower, and (y) no such pro forma adjustments shall be allowed unless, not less than five (5) Business Days (or such lesser period as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent) prior to the applicable Acquisition Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall have received the documentation required in connection with such Permitted Acquisition and the calculations supporting such pro forma adjustments.

In making the pro forma calculation contemplated by the preceding sentence, adjustments to Consolidated EBITDA shall be determined in good faith by the Borrower based on reasonable assumptions; provided that (A) any such pro forma adjustments to Consolidated EBITDA shall be acceptable to the Revolving Administrative Agent and, so long as Apollo holds more than 33% of the outstanding Loans, Apollo and (B) with regard to each Major Permitted Business Expansion Project such pro forma adjustment (x) shall be based upon forecasted income that is either (1) derived from binding, non-contingent contracts or (2) is deemed highly probable by the applicable Credit Party and such determination is acceptable to the Revolving Administrative Agent and, so long as Apollo holds more than 33% of the outstanding Loans, Apollo, in the case of each clause (1) and (2), less appropriate direct and indirect costs to realize such income and (y) when aggregated with all pro forma adjustments attributable to Major Permitted Business Expansion Projects shall not exceed 15.0%, of the Consolidated EBITDA reflected in the most recently delivered Compliance Certificate, net of any actual Consolidated EBITDA realized from such Major

-7-

Section 2.1Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender, severally and not jointly, agrees to make Term Loans to the Borrower on or before the third Business Day after the Closing Date in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment. Amounts borrowed as a Term Loan which are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(c)Each Lender shall make its Term Loans available on or before the third Business Day after the Closing Date, upon confirmation by the Lenders that the conditions precedent in Section 4.1 have been satisfied in full or waived, by causing its Applicable Lending Office to pay the amount required to a general deposit account designated and maintained by the Borrower in immediately available funds denominated in Dollars as soon as practicable, but in any event, not later than 1:00 p.m.

Section 2.3Notes.

At the request of any Lender, the Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of and interest on all Term Loans made to it by such Lender shall be evidenced, if Term Loans, by a promissory note (each, a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”) duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith.

Section 2.4Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the fees set forth in the Fee Letters. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account the fees set forth in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter in the amounts and at the times set forth therein.

Section 2.5Termination or Reduction of the Commitments; Mandatory Prepayments.

(a)Each Lender’s Commitment will be permanently reduced upon such Lender making any Term Loan under such Commitment by an amount equal to such Term Loan. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent.

(b)Subject to Section 2.5(c) below, any outstanding Term Loans shall be prepaid on a Dollar-for-Dollar basis within three (3) Business Days of receipt by the Borrower of the following Net Proceeds:

(A) 100.0% of the Net Proceeds actually received by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries from Asset Sales and Casualty Events in excess of $75,000,000 in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement (“Excess Proceeds”); provided that the Borrower may apply a portion of such Excess Proceeds to repay loans under the Existing Credit Agreement; provided, further that no more than a proportional amount, based on the respective principal amounts of Indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement, on the one hand, and this Agreement, on the other hand, may be applied to so repay Indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement; provided, further that, to the extent that the proportional share of such Excess Proceeds that could otherwise be applied to repay Indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement in accordance with the preceding proviso is not so applied, whether because no such Indebtedness is outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement or otherwise, then, subject to the following proviso, such Excess Proceeds shall be used to prepay the Term Loans

-33-

in accordance with this Section 2.5(b)(A); and provided, further that, if prior to the date any such prepayment is required to be made, the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent of its intention to reinvest the Excess Proceeds in assets used or useful in the business (other than cash or Cash Equivalents) of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, then so long as no Event of Default then exists, the Borrower shall not be required to make a mandatory prepayment under this clause (A) in respect of the Excess Proceeds to the extent the Excess Proceeds are so reinvested following receipt thereof within 180 days; it being understood that if the Excess Proceeds have not been so reinvested prior to the expiration of the applicable period, the Borrower shall promptly prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans with the Excess Proceeds not so reinvested or not so applied, as applicable, as set forth above (without regard to the immediately preceding proviso);

(B) Reserved,

(C) 100.0% of the Net Proceeds actually received by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries from the incurrence of Indebtedness (other than pursuant to Section 7.1).

The Declined Proceeds may be retained by the Borrower and used for any purpose not prohibited hereunder. If a Lender fails to deliver a notice of election declining receipt of its Applicable Percentage of such mandatory prepayment to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above, any such failure will be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans.

(d)Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.5 or any other provision in any Loan Document to the contrary, in the case of any Net Proceeds giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.5(b) that are actually received by a Foreign Subsidiary, (A) the amount of such Net Proceeds that is required to be applied to prepay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.5(b) shall be net of any additional Taxes paid, reasonably estimated by the Borrower in good faith to be payable (pending a final determination of the amount of such Taxes by a Governmental Authority), or reserved against as a result of repatriation of such Net Proceeds to the United States and (b) if such Net Proceeds are prohibited, restricted or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to prepay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.5(b) but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to use reasonable best efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be immediately effected and such repatriated Net Proceeds will be promptly (and

-34-

in any event not later than three Business Days after such repatriation) applied to the prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.5(b) to the extent provided herein.

(e)In addition to the mandatory prepayments required by Sections 2.5(b), the Borrower shall have the right, at its option, to prepay any of the Term Loans in whole at any time or in part from time to time, without premium or penalty, except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.5 or of Sections 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10 or 2.11. Each prepayment of Term Loans may be made in an amount not less than $1,000,000 and whole multiples of $250,000 in excess thereof. Prepayments under this Section 2.5 (whether mandatory or voluntary) shall be subject to the following additional condition: prepayments may be made on any Business Day, provided, that the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written or telecopied notice of such prepayment specifying the principal amount of the Term Loans to be prepaid, interest payable thereon to the date of prepayment, any applicable Make-Whole Amount and the prepayment date.

(f)If any notice of any prepayment has been given, the principal amount specified in such notice, together with interest thereon to the date of prepayment and any applicable Make-Whole Amount, shall be due and payable on such prepayment date; provided, that a notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent upon its demand all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any prepayment notice revoked pursuant to the preceding sentence.

Section 2.6Notes; Payments; Accounts.

(a)Subject to the provisions of Section 10.11 hereof relating to replacement and substitution of the Notes, all Term Loans made by a Lender to the Borrower shall, at such Lender’s request, be evidenced by a single Note dated as of the date the Term Loans are made in accordance with Section 2.1(a), delivered and payable to such Lender in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment as of as of the date the Term Loans are made in accordance with Section 2.1(a).

(b)The outstanding principal balance of each and every Term Loan shall mature and, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loans, be fully due and payable on the Maturity Date.

-35-

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

Section 2.7Application of Payments and Prepayments.

(a)Upon (A) any prepayment of any Term Loan (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.5(b)), whether such prepayment occurs (i) as a result of an acceleration thereof pursuant to Section 8.2 (whether automatic or optional acceleration) following an Event of Default or otherwise or (ii) at the Borrower’s option, which the Borrower may, upon notice as provided below, make for all (or any portion) of such Term Loans or (B) any acceleration of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 8.2 (whether automatic or optional acceleration) following an Event of Default or otherwise, in the case of each of (A) and (B), solely to the extent occurring on or prior to the date that is twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date (the “Make-Whole Expiry Date”), the Borrower shall make a payment to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the principal amount so prepaid or accelerated plus the Make-Whole Amount with respect to such Term Loan, determined by the Borrower, and approved by the Administrative Agent, for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

(b)Upon any assignment of any Term Loans at the request of the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14(b) solely to the extent occurring on or prior to the Make-Whole Expiry Date, the Borrower shall make a payment to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lender that is assigning its Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.14(b), in an amount equal to the Make-Whole Amount with respect to such Term Loans so assigned, determined by the Borrower, and approved by the Lender that is making such assignment, as of the assignment date with respect to such principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Solely for purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount owing under this Section 2.7(b), the assignment date of the Term Loans assigned pursuant to Section 2.14(b) shall be deemed to be the prepayment date of such Term Loans.

(c)[Reserved].

(d)All repayments required pursuant to Section 2.5 shall be applied as follows: first, to pay interest due in respect of Term Loans being repaid as a result of the prepayment of principal under clause third below (on a pro rata basis); second, to pay the Make-Whole Amount (on a pro rata basis), if any, on the Term Loans until paid in full (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Make-Whole Amount resulting from the prepayment of principal under clause third below); third, to pay or prepay principal of the Term Loans; fourth, to the payment of any other Obligation due to any Agent or any Lender (on a pro rata basis).

(f)Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any amounts in connection with the Obligations pursuant to Section 9 of the Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of the Secured Parties under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall apply all or any part of such amounts, whether or not held in any collateral account or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent, against the Obligations, such application to be in the following order: first, to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Agents under the Loan Documents; second to pay all Obligations; and third, any balance of such proceeds remaining after the Maturity Date, shall be paid over to the applicable Credit Party or to whomsoever else may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

All such payments or prepayments shall be made at the account of the Administrative Agent designated in writing by the Administrative Agent. If any payment or prepayment becomes due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, then the date for the payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable thereon at the then applicable rate per annum during such extension.

Section 2.8Interest Rates for Term Loans.

(a)Subject to Section 10.6, the Term Loans shall bear interest on their respective outstanding principal balances at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate; provided, that (i) at the request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, all principal outstanding, whether then due and payable, after the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been cured to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the requisite Lenders required hereunder or waived in writing by the Administrative Agent and the requisite Lenders required hereunder shall bear interest at the Default Rate, which shall be due and payable upon demand and (ii) past due principal and interest shall bear interest at the Default Rate, which shall be payable on demand.

Section 2.11Increased Costs.

(a)Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;

(ii)subject any Lender or other Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Taxes imposed on or measured by net income or franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes imposed, in each case, as a result of a present or former connection between such Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (other than connections arising solely from such Lender having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any Loan Document, or sold or assigned an interest in any Term Loan or Loan Document), on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

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

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Term Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Term Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)Capital 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 capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Term 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 capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be

-39-

conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d)Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine 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 nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 2.12Taxes.

(a)[Reserved].

(b)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under this Agreement, under the Notes, under any other Loan Documents shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as provided by any Legal Requirement. If any Legal Requirement requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent or any other withholding agent, then the applicable Credit Party shall (A) promptly notify the applicable Recipient of such requirement to so deduct or withhold such Tax, (B) pay to the relevant Governmental Authorities the full amount required to be so deducted or withheld, (C) promptly forward to such Recipient an official receipt (or certified copies thereof), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to such Recipient evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authorities and (D) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, pay to such Recipient, in addition to whatever net amount of such payment is paid to such Recipient, such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the total amount actually received by such Recipient (free and clear of Indemnified Taxes imposed on or with respect to such additional amount) will equal the full amount of the payment such Recipient would have received had no such deduction or withholding in respect of Indemnified Taxes been required.

(c)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. In addition, the relevant Credit Party or Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d)Indemnification by the Borrower. The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after written demand (including, if available, a copy of the certificate of payment or similar document) therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment

-40-

or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify each Agent, within 10 days after written demand (including a copy of the certificate of payment or similar document, if available), for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified such Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.11 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by such Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by such Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes such Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by such Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to such Agent under this clause (e).

(f)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.12, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g)Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.12(g)(A), (g)(B) and (g)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

-41-

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

(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

Section 2.14Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize any such additional costs or Indemnified Taxes; provided, that such efforts (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.11 or 2.12, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) 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 efforts.

(b)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the

-43-

account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to mitigate such additional costs or Indemnified Taxes in accordance with Section 2.14(a), or if any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.11), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.11 or 2.12) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents at par to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent any applicable Make-Whole Amount, for the benefit of such Lender, owing pursuant to Section 2.7(b) and the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 10.11.

Section 2.15[Reserved].

Section 2.16[Reserved].

Section 2.17Pro-Rata Treatment.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein or in the Fee Letters, each payment or prepayment by the Borrower of fees on or principal of or interest on Term Loans shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders pro-rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Term Loans held by such Lenders.

Section 2.18Sharing of Payments, Etc. The Credit Parties agree that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of set-off, bankers’ lien or counterclaim a Lender may otherwise have, each Lender shall be entitled, at its option upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to offset balances held by it for the account of any of the Credit Parties at any of its offices against any principal of or interest on any of such Lender’s Term Loans to the Borrower hereunder, or any other Obligation of the Credit Parties owing to any such Lender under any of the Loan Documents regardless of whether such offset balances are then due to the Credit Parties, in which case it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof, provided, that such Lender’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof. If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of or interest on any Term Loan made by it under this Agreement, any obligation then due to such Lender under any Loan Document, through the exercise of any right of set-off (including any right of set-off or lien granted under Section 10.14), banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar right, or otherwise, it shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in the Term Loans made by, or the other obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder or thereunder of, the other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) pro-rata in accordance with their respective Term Loan Commitment Percentages.

-44-

To such end all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Credit Parties agree, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender so purchasing a participation in the Term Loans made by, or other obligations hereunder of, the other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of said Term Loans or other obligations in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Credit Parties.

Section 2.19Recapture. If on any Interest Payment Date the Administrative Agent does not receive for the account of one or more Lenders payment in full of interest (computed without regard to any limitation by the Highest Lawful Rate), because the full amount of interest (so computed), exceeds or has exceeded the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lenders, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lenders, in addition to interest otherwise required, on each Interest Payment Date thereafter, the Excess Interest Amount (calculated as of each such subsequent Interest Payment Date); provided, that in no event shall the Borrower be required to pay, for any computation period, interest at a rate exceeding the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lenders during such period. As used herein, the term “Excess Interest Amount” means, on any day, the amount by which (a) the amount of all interest which would have accrued prior to such day on the outstanding principal of the Notes of the applicable Lender (had the full amount of interest at all times been in effect without limitation by the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender) exceeds (b) the aggregate amount of interest actually paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender on its Term Loans on or prior to such day.

-45-

The Credit Parties, to the extent permitted by law, hereby authorize the Collateral Agent to file any financing statement in respect of any Lien created pursuant to the Security Documents which may at any time be required to perfect such Liens or which, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, may at any time be desirable and file the same, and the Credit Parties hereby irrevocably designate the Collateral Agent, its respective agents, representatives and designees as its agent and attorney-in-fact for this purpose. In the event that any re-recording or refiling thereof (or the filing of any statements of continuation or assignment of any financing statement) is required to protect and preserve such Lien, the Credit Parties shall, at the Credit Parties’ cost and expense, cause the same to be recorded and/or refiled at the time and in the manner requested by the Collateral Agent.

To the knowledge of the Credit Parties, no person is infringing, misappropriating, or otherwise violating any Intellectual Property owned, used, or held for use by the Credit Parties in the conduct of their respective businesses, and no such claims have been asserted or threatened against any person by the Credit Parties Except as created or permitted under the Loan Documents, no Lien exists with respect to the interest of any Credit Party in any such Intellectual Property or licenses to Intellectual Property, and no Credit Party has transferred or subordinated any interest it may have in such Intellectual Property or licenses to Intellectual Property. The Credit Parties shall, from time to time as necessary to keep such schedule updated in all material respects (but no more often than quarterly, except in the event that the Credit Parties acquire material Intellectual Property through the acquisition of, or merger or consolidation with, any Person, or acquisition of material assets of any Person), deliver to the Administrative Agent an updated Schedule 5.18 to this Agreement, together with a certificate of an authorized officer of the Borrower certifying that the information set forth on such schedule is true, correct and complete as of such date. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will not result in the loss or impairment of or payment of any additional amounts with respect to, nor require the consent of any other person in respect of, the Credit Parties’ rights to own, use, or hold for use any of the Intellectual Property as owned, used, or held for use in the conduct of the business as currently conducted.

Section 5.19Related Businesses. The operations of the Borrower require financing on a basis such that the credit supplied can be made available from time to time to multiple Borrowers, as required for the continued successful operation of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties taken as a whole. The Borrower has requested the Lenders to make credit available hereunder for the purposes set forth in Section 6.9 and generally for the purposes of financing the operations of Borrower and the other Credit Parties. Each Borrower and each other Credit Party expects to derive benefit (and the board of directors of each Borrower and other Credit Party has determined that such Borrower or other Credit Party may reasonably be expected to derive benefit), directly or indirectly, from a portion of the credit extended by Lenders hereunder, both in its separate capacity and as a member of the group of companies, since the successful operation and condition of each Borrower and each other Credit Party is dependent on the continued successful performance of the functions of the group as a whole. Each Credit Party acknowledges that, but for the agreement of each of the other Credit Parties to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders would not have made available the credit facilities established hereby on the terms set forth herein.

Section 5.20Material Leases. No Credit Party is in default in any material respect under any Material Lease for a period in excess of the greater of (a) thirty (30) days and (b) the applicable cure period (if any) under such Material Lease.

Section 5.21Security Interests. Each of the Security Documents creates in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of each Agent and the other Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral secured thereby. Upon the filing of the UCC financing statements described in Schedule 5.21 and, to the extent governed by United States

-54-

federal law, as applicable, upon the recording of a patent security agreement in the form of Exhibit F hereto, a trademark security agreement in the form of Exhibit G hereto and a copyright security agreement in the form of Exhibit H hereto (the “Intellectual Property Security Agreements”), in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, such security interests in and Liens on the Collateral granted thereby that may be perfected by such aforementioned filings or recordings shall be perfected, first priority security interests (subject, as to priority, only to Liens permitted under Section 7.2 that, as a matter of law, would be prior to the Liens of the Collateral Agent), and no further recordings or filings are or will be required in connection with the creation, perfection or enforcement of such security interests and Liens, other than (a) the filing of continuation statements in accordance with applicable law, and (b) the recording of the Intellectual Property Security Agreements in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, with respect to after-acquired Patent, Trademark and Copyright applications and registrations; provided, however, that such security interests and Liens on the Collateral granted thereby shall be on an equal and ratable basis with the Liens permitted under Section 7.2(p) securing the Existing Credit Agreement.

Section 5.22Deposit Accounts. Each deposit account of the Credit Parties is listed on Schedule 5.22 attached hereto, and each deposit account into which Receivables and proceeds of Collateral will be deposited is specified as such on such Schedule; provided that such schedule may be updated by the Credit Parties from time to time when the Credit Parties add or remove deposit accounts in accordance with this Agreement. Each deposit account of the Credit Parties, including each deposit account listed on Schedule 5.22 or established pursuant to Section 7.17, is a Controlled Account (other than the Excluded Deposit Accounts).

Section 5.23Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all Legal Requirements applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 8.2Remedies Upon Event of Default.

If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders, take any or all of the following actions:

(a)declare the Commitment of each Lender to make Term Loans to be terminated, whereupon such Commitments and obligation shall be terminated;

(b)declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Term Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other Obligations owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower;

(c)[reserved]; and

(d)exercise, or direct the Collateral Agent to exercise, in each case, on behalf of itself, the Lenders or other Secured Party all rights and remedies available to it, the Lenders or other Secured Parties under the Loan Documents or applicable Law or at equity;

-82-

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the events set forth in clauses (k) through (o) shall occur, then (i) the Term Loans, the Commitment Fees and all other Obligations then outstanding and payable hereunder shall automatically, without demand, presentment, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration or other notice to any Person of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Credit Party, become immediately due and payable and (ii) all Commitments shall be immediately and automatically terminated.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if, prior to the Maturity Date, the Term Loans are accelerated or otherwise become due, in each case, in respect of any Event of Default (including, but not limited to, upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law) (a “Yield Maintenance Event”)), the Make-Whole Amount that would have applied if, at the time of such acceleration, the Borrower had paid, refinanced, substituted or replaced all of the Term Loans as contemplated in Section 2.7(a) will also be due and payable as though a Yield Maintenance Event had occurred and the Make-Whole Amount shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of the Lenders’ lost profits as a result thereof. Any Make-Whole Amount payable above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by the Lenders as the result of payment or acceleration, as applicable, prior to the Maturity Date and the Borrower and the other Credit Parties agree that the Make-Whole Amount is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Make-Whole Amount shall also be payable in the event the Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other similar means.

THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER CREDIT PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING MAKE-WHOLE AMOUNT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION.

The Borrower and each other Credit Party expressly agrees (to the fullest extent that it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Make-Whole Amount is reasonable and are the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Make-Whole Amount shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Borrower and the other Credit Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Make-Whole Amount; and (D) the Borrower and each other Credit Party shall each be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph.

The Borrower and each other Credit Party expressly acknowledge that its agreement to pay the Make-Whole Amount to the Lenders as herein described is a material inducement to the Lenders to provide their Commitments and extend the Term Loans.

Section 8.3Remedies Cumulative. No remedy, right or power conferred upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, right or power given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, or otherwise, and all such remedies, rights and powers shall be cumulative.

Section 9.1Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agents to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Agents by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agents may each perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by any Agent.

The Agents may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by them with reasonable care. The Agents may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agents in their reasonable judgment.

Nothing in this Agreement shall require an Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder. In no event shall an Agent be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the such Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. No Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates shall be responsible for nor have any duty to monitor the performance or any action of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, or any of their directors, members, officers, agents, affiliates or employee, nor shall it have any liability in connection with the malfeasance or nonfeasance by such parties. Each Agent may assume performance by all such

-84-

Persons of their respective obligations. No Agent shall have any enforcement or notification obligations relating to breaches of representations or warranties of any other Person.

Section 9.2Reliance. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, without liability, upon any certification, notice, opinion, report or other communication (including any thereof by electronic mail with portable document format) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (which may be counsel for the Credit Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and thereunder in accordance with instructions of the Required Lenders, and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

Section 9.3Defaults. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless as officer of such Agent responsible for administrating the transactions contemplated hereby has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” In the event that any Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, such Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders (or in the case of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall then give each Lender prompt notice of each such non-payment). The Agents shall (subject to Section 9.7 hereof) take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders and within its rights under the Loan Documents and at law or in equity, provided that, unless and until the Agents shall have received such directions, the Agents may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, permitted or within its rights under any of the Loan Documents or under applicable law with respect to such Default or Event of Default.

Section 9.4Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Commitment and the Term Loans, each Agent in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in its individual capacity. Each Agent may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, letter of credit, agency or other business with any Credit Party (and any of their Affiliates) as if it were not acting as Agent, and each Agent may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party (in addition to the fees heretofore agreed to between the applicable Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent) for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

Section 9.5Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its separate capacities as such (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 10.9 hereof, but without limiting the obligations of the applicable Credit Parties under said Section 2.13, Section 10.9 or 10.10) ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever (including the consequences of the negligence of such indemnified Person, but excluding any act or omission to the extent the same is determined by a final non-appealable decision by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by or resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified Person) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the costs and expenses which the

-85-

applicable Credit Parties are obligated to pay under Section 10.9) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof (including this indemnity) or of any such other documents. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 9.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the repayment of the Indebtedness arising in connection with this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Agents.

Section 9.6Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it has received current financial information with respect to the Credit Parties and the other Parties and that it has independently and without reliance on any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Credit Parties and the other Parties and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Each Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by any Party of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of the Credit Parties or any Party. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by an Agent, under the other Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Credit Parties or any other Party (or any of their Affiliates) which may come into the possession of such Agent.

Section 9.7Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of an Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, each Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction by the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 9.5 against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

Section 9.8Resignation of Agent. Subject to the effectiveness of resignation as provided below, any Agent may resign at any time by giving at least thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent to act in the same capacity reasonably acceptable to the Borrower; provided that (i) if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall not have a consent right, and (ii) the Required Lenders shall appoint a Lender (or Affiliate thereof) to act as successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of written notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and at the expense of the Borrower petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by

-86-

such Agent, such Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders and, if applicable, the Borrower, appoint a successor Agent as provided above. Any successor Agent shall be a commercial bank or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank that has an office in the United States. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. Such successor Agent shall promptly specify by notice to the Borrower and the Lenders its office for the purpose of any notices and payments hereunder. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent. Any Business Entity into which the Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Business Entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Agent shall be a party, or any Business Entity succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust or agency business of the Agent, shall be the successor of the Agent hereunder; provided that such Business Entity shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 9.8 to act as a successor Agent, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In the event that the Agent is required to acquire title to an asset or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to perform any obligation under any Security Document, which in the Agent’s sole determination may cause the Agent to incur potential liability under any Environmental Law, the Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to resign as Agent.

Section 9.9Syndication Agents; Bookrunners. Any syndication agent, co-syndication agent, documentation agent, joint lead arranger, bookrunner or joint bookrunner appointed in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, in its capacity as such, shall have no rights, powers, duties or responsibilities, and no rights, powers, duties or responsibilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist on behalf of or against any such syndication agent, co-syndication agent, documentation agent, joint lead arranger, bookrunner or joint bookrunner, in its capacity as such (in each case without prejudice to the rights, powers, duties or responsibilities of any such Person in its capacity as a Lender, Agent or otherwise as a Party to any Loan Document, other than in its capacity as syndication agent, co-syndication agent, documentation agent, joint lead arranger, bookrunner or joint bookrunner). If any such syndication agent, co-syndication agent, documentation agent, joint lead arranger, bookrunner or joint bookrunner resigns from such capacity, no successor syndication agent, co-syndication agent, documentation agent, joint lead arranger, bookrunner or joint bookrunner, as applicable, shall be appointed. No syndication agent, co-syndication agent, documentation agent, bookrunner or joint bookrunner shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on the syndication agent, co-syndication agent, documentation agent, bookrunner or joint bookrunner in deciding to enter into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in taking or not taking any action hereunder or thereunder.

Section 9.10Force Majeure. No Agent shall incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of such Agent (including but not limited to any act or provision of any present

-87-

or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, epidemics, pandemics, any act of terrorism, interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, labor disputes, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility).

Section 9.11Filings.

(b)For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall require any Agent to file financing statements or continuation statements, or be responsible for maintaining the security interests purported to be created as described herein (except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document) and such responsibility shall be solely that of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties.

Section 9.12Agent Discretion. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, whenever reference is made in this Agreement to any discretionary action by, consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction, reasonable satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, it is understood that in all cases that any such permissive rights shall not be construed as a duty and such Agents shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any such action under this Agreement if it shall not have received such written instruction, advice or concurrence of (i) with respect to the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders, and (ii) with respect to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as it deems appropriate. This provision is intended solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and its successors and permitted assigns and is not intended to and will not entitle the other parties hereto to any defense, claim or counterclaim, or confer any rights or benefits on any party hereto. It is understood that the Administrative Agent may provide such instruction, advice or concurrence to the Collateral Agent in accordance with the discretionary standard set forth in this Agreement or other Loan Document with respect to such action or omission, or after obtaining direction from the Required Lenders, as the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion.

Section 9.13Compliance with Legal Orders. If at any time an Agent is served with any judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process (including orders of attachment or garnishment or other forms of levies or injunctions or stays relating to the transfer of any collateral), such Agent is authorized to comply therewith in any manner as it or its legal counsel of its own choosing deems appropriate, and if such Agent complies with any such judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process, such Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to

-88-

any other Person even though such order, judgment, decree, writ or process may be subsequently modified or vacated or otherwise determined to have been without legal force or effect.

ARTICLE X.

Miscellaneous.

Section 10.1No Waiver. No waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise and no delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power under any Loan Document or at law or in equity shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or the abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right or power, preclude any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. No course of dealing between the Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver of any right or power of the Administrative Agent any Lender. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party or any other Person shall entitle the Credit Parties or any other Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

Section 10.2Notices. Except as otherwise expressly permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, all notices under the Loan Documents shall be in writing and either (a) delivered to the intended recipient, (b) sent via overnight courier, or (c) sent by facsimile (promptly confirmed by mail, except for any notice pursuant to Section 4.1(a) which need not be confirmed by mail), in each case to the intended recipient at the “Address for Notices” specified on Schedule 10.2 hereof; or, as to any Lender, at such address as set forth in the Administrative Questionnaire or to such other address as a party may designate in a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.2. The Borrower may change its address for purposes hereof by providing written notice of such address change to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.2, with any such change in address only being effective ten Business Days after such change of address has been deemed given in accordance with the provisions hereof. Notices and other communications (i) sent by hand or overnight courier service shall be deemed to have been given when received or (ii) sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent; provided, that if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient; provided, however, that the notices required or permitted by Sections 2.2(b) and 4.1(a) shall be effective only when actually received by the Administrative Agent. Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges that (i) the Administrative Agent may make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Credit Parties hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (ii) certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Credit Parties, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. Each Credit Party hereby agrees that: (w) all the Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat the Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with

-89-

respect to such Credit Party or their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent the Borrower Materials constitute Confidential Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.23); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information”; and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Credit Party shall be under any obligation to mark Borrower Materials “PUBLIC.” Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, financial statements and the Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.3 shall be deemed to be suitable for posting on a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information.” ANY PLATFORM PROVIDED IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Credit Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of borrower materials through electronic telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except for direct or “economic” (as such term is used in Title 18, United States Code, Section 1030(g)) (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive) losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party.

Section 10.3Governing Law. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED THEREIN, EACH LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.

Section 10.4Survival; Parties Bound. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by or on behalf of the Credit Parties in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and shall not be affected by any investigation made by any Person. The term of this Agreement shall be until the termination or lapse of all Commitments, the final maturity of each Note, and the payment of all amounts due under the Loan Documents.

Section 10.5Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several identical counterparts, and by the parties hereto on separate counterparts, and each counterpart, when so executed and delivered, shall constitute an original instrument, and all such separate counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. The words “executed,” “delivered,” and words

-90-

of like import in or relating to this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means.

Section 10.6Limitation of Interest. The Credit Parties and the Lenders intend to strictly comply with all applicable laws, including applicable usury laws, if any. Accordingly, the provisions of this Section shall govern and control over every other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which conflicts or is inconsistent with this Section, even if such provision declares that it controls. As used in this Section, the term “interest” includes the aggregate of all charges, fees, benefits or other compensation which constitute interest under applicable law, provided, that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any non-principal payment shall be characterized as an expense or as compensation for something other than the use, forbearance or detention of money and not as interest, and (b) all interest at any time contracted for, reserved, charged or received shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread, in equal or in unequal parts during the full term of the Term Loans and the Commitments so that interest for the entire term does not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. In no event shall the Borrower or any other Person be obligated to pay, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender have any right or privilege to reserve, receive or retain, (y) any interest in excess of the maximum amount of nonusurious interest permitted under the laws of the United States or of any state, if any, which are applicable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, respectively, or (z) total interest in excess of the amount which the Administrative Agent or such Lender could lawfully have contracted for, reserved, received, retained or charged had the interest been calculated for the full term of the Term Loans at the Highest Lawful Rate, if any, applicable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender. None of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document which directly or indirectly relate to interest shall ever be construed without reference to this Section, or be construed to create a contract to pay any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of money at an interest rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender. If the term of any Term Loans or the Notes is shortened by reason of acceleration of maturity as a result of any Default or Event of Default or by any other cause, or by reason of any required or permitted prepayment, and if for that (or any other) reason the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any time is owed or receives (and/or has received) interest in excess of interest calculated at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, then and in any such event all of any such excess interest owed to or received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration, prepayment or other event which produces the excess, and, if such excess interest has been paid to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, it shall be credited pro tanto against the then-outstanding principal balance of the Borrower’s obligations to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, effective as of the date or dates when the event occurs which causes it to be excess interest, until such excess is exhausted or all of such principal has been fully paid and satisfied, whichever occurs first, and any remaining balance of such excess shall be promptly refunded to its payor.

-91-

Section 10.7Survival. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11 and 10.9 shall survive the repayment of the Term Loans and all other Obligations, the termination of the Commitments and the resignation or removal of the Agents.

Section 10.8Captions. The headings and captions appearing in the Loan Documents have been included solely for convenience and shall not be considered in construing the Loan Documents.

Section 10.9Expenses, Indemnity, Damage Waiver.

(a)Costs and Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated or the documents related hereto shall be executed, each Credit Party agrees to pay promptly (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent, any Lenders and their respective Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of the Term Loans, or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated); (ii) [reserved]; (iii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Agent or any Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Agent or any Lender and costs of settlement), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Term Loans made, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Term Loans or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings; (iv) all out-of-pocket costs, expenses, taxes, assessments and other charges incurred by any Agent in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document referred to herein or therein, and the cost of title insurance; (v) reasonable expenses of due diligence incurred by any Agent prior to or as of the Closing Date; (vi) fees and disbursements of any auditors, accountants, consultants, engineers or appraisers; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount of costs and expense incurred on or prior to date the Term Loans are made in accordance with Section 2.1(a) that the Borrower will be liable to reimburse the Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates shall not exceed $500,000.

(b)Indemnification.

(i)In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 10.9(a), each Credit Party agrees to defend (subject, in the case of any actual conflict of interest, to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless, Administrative Agent and each Lender, their Affiliates and its and their respective officers, members, shareholders, partners, directors, trustees, employees, advisors, representatives and agents and each of their respective successors and assigns and each Person who controls any of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnitee”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY, OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNITEE; provided, no Credit Party shall have any obligation to any

-92-

Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities if such Indemnified Liabilities (A) arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order or (B) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Credit Party against an Indemnitee (other than the Administrative Agent) for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Borrower or Credit Party has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harm-less set forth in this Section 10.9(b) may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the applicable Credit Party shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.

(ii)Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that an Indemnitee may now or in the future have certain rights to indemnification provided by other sources (“Other Sources”). Each Credit Party hereby agrees that (1) it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to the Indemnitees are primary and any obligation of the Other Sources to provide indemnification for the same Indemnified Liabilities are secondary to any such obligation of the Credit Party), (2) that it shall be liable for the full amount of all Indemnified Liabilities that are actually owing, without regard to any rights the Indemnitees may have against the Other Sources, and (3) it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Other Sources and the Indemnitees from any and all claims that an Indemnitee must seek expense advancement or reimbursement, or indemnification, from the Other Sources before the Credit Party must perform its obligations hereunder.

(c)Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that any Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of the Administrative Agent, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s ratable share of the total Commitments at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), or against any Related Party of the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are several and not joint.

(d)Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, and each Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

-93-

No Indemnitee referred to in clause (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.

(e)Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 10 days after demand therefor.

(f)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents, payment of the obligations hereunder and the resignation or removal of the Agents.

Section 10.10Amendments, Waivers, Etc. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document, nor any consent to any departure by the Credit Parties or any of their Subsidiaries therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be agreed or consented to in writing by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless consented to in writing by each affected Lender, do any of the following: (a) increase the Commitment of any such Lender; (b) reduce the principal of, interest rate or interest on, any Term Loan or any fee hereunder (provided, that any waiver of Default Rate interest shall not be considered a reduction of interest); (c) waive or postpone any scheduled date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Term Loan or any fee or other sum to be paid hereunder; (d) change the percentage of any of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of any of the Term Loans or the number of Lenders which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action under this Agreement; (e) change any provision contained in Sections 2.7, 2.17, 2.18 or this 10.10; (f) other than as expressly permitted by this Agreement, release the Borrower from liability for any of the Obligations; (g) other than as expressly permitted by this Agreement, release any material Guarantor from any Guaranty; (h) release all or substantially all of the Collateral; (i) change any of the definitions of “Obligations” or “Required Lenders” contained herein. Anything in this Section 10.10 to the contrary notwithstanding, no amendment, waiver or consent shall be made with respect to Article IX or amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the written consent of the Administrative Agent.

Section 10.11Successors and Assigns.

(a)This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Credit Parties, each Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and permitted assigns, provided that the undertaking of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans to the Borrower for the account or liability of any Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries that are Credit Parties or the Parent shall not inure to the benefit of any successor of the Borrower, other than a successor expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement. The Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 10.11. Nothing in this

-94-

Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than (i) the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, (ii) any participant of a Lender (to the extent provided in subparagraph (b) below), and (iii) to the extent expressly set forth herein, the Affiliates of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)Each Lender may sell participations to any Person (other than to a Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof) in all or part of any Term Loan, or all or part of its Notes, in which event, without limiting the foregoing, the provisions of Sections 10.10 and 2.11 shall inure to the benefit of each purchaser of a participation and the pro-rata treatment of payments, as described in Section 2.17, shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation; provided that no participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount than its participation Lender would have been entitled to receive. In the event any Lender shall sell any participation: (i) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such selling Lender in connection with such selling Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including the Note(s) held by such selling Lender), (ii) such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Term Loans, including the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement other than (and then only if expressly permitted by the applicable participation agreement) amendments, modifications or waivers with respect to (1) any reduction of fees payable hereunder to the Lender, (2) any reduction of the amount of principal or the rate of interest payable on, or the dates fixed for the scheduled repayment of principal of, the Term Loans and other sums to be paid to the Lenders hereunder, and (3) any postponement of any date for the payment of any amount payable in respect of the Term Loans of such Lender, and (iii) the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any participant of a Lender may exercise all rights of set-off, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such participant were a direct holder of Term Loans if such Lender has previously given notice of such participation to the Borrower. 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 Term Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (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 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 absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c)Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the same portion of the related Term Loans at the time owing to it, the related Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that, (i) the Administrative Agent must give its prior

-95-

written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (ii) the aggregate amount of the applicable Commitment and Term Loans (without duplication) of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance (as defined below) with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 (except for an assignment between Lenders or Affiliates thereof and for certain exceptions approved by the Administrative Agent and, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower), shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (unless all of the assigning Lender’s applicable Commitment and Term Loans is being assigned) and shall be a pro rata assignment of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and related Term Loans and exposure; (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in its records, and to the Borrower, an Assignment and Acceptance in substantially the form of Exhibit I annexed hereto, or in such other form as may be approved by the Administrative Agent (each an “Assignment and Acceptance”) with blanks appropriately completed, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided, that (i) such fee shall not apply to an assignment between Lenders and their own Affiliates and (ii) Borrower shall have no liability for any such fee, and if the assignee is not a Lender, an Administrative Questionnaire (together with such tax forms or certificates reasonably requested by the Agent) in which the assignee designates one or more contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Credit Parties their Affiliates and their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including federal and state securities laws and each fully executed Assignment and Acceptance shall be promptly delivered to the Borrower; (iv) no assignment is permitted to any Credit Party or Affiliate thereof; and (v) any assignment to a Disqualified Institution shall be null and void ab initio. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the execution thereof, unless a shorter period of time may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, and receipt by the Administrative Agent of the requisite processing and recordation fee, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (B) the Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such assignment, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(d)By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than the representation and warranty that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim, such Lender assignor makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assignor Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Credit Parties or any of their Subsidiaries or the performance or

-96-

observance by the Credit Parties of any of their obligations under any of the Loan Documents; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with copies of the financial statements of the Credit Parties previously delivered in accordance herewith and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it will keep confidential all information with respect to the Credit Parties furnished to it by the Credit Parties, such assignor Lender and the Administrative Agent (other than information generally available to the public or otherwise available to the Administrative Agent on a non-confidential basis or otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement); (v) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assignor Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all obligations that by the terms of the Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(e)The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register containing the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and interest thereon) of the Term Loans owing to each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).

(h)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 10.2Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding among the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior proposals, agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any other Loan Documents shall be governed by the provisions of this Agreement. The Credit Parties certify that they are relying on no representation, warranty, covenant or agreement except for those set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.13Severability. If any provision of any Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 10.14Right of Setoff. The Secured Parties each are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time during the existence of an Event of Default, without notice to any Credit Party (any such notice being expressly waived by the Credit Parties by their execution of the applicable Loan Documents), to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, whether or not such setoff results in any loss of interest or other

-98-

penalty, including all certificates of deposit) at any time held, and any other funds or property at any time held, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of any such Credit Party against any and all of the Obligations irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document. Each Credit Party (by their execution of the applicable Loan Documents) also hereby grants to Administrative Agent and each of the other Secured Parties a security interest in and hereby transfers, assigns, sets over, and conveys to the Administrative Agent and to each of the other Secured Parties, as security for payment of all Obligations, all such deposits, funds or property of such Credit Party or Indebtedness of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to any such Credit Party.

Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application by it or any of its Affiliates, provided that the failure to give such notice will not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties may have. This Section is subject to the terms and provisions of Section 2.17.

Section 10.15Waiver of Right to Jury Trial.

Section 10.16Collateral Releases.

(a)The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release or, to authorize the Collateral Agent to release, any Lien granted to or held by it upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Total Commitment and payment in full in cash and satisfaction (or cash collateralization pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents) of all Term Loans and all other Obligations which have matured and which each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable; or (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (with respect to which the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may rely conclusively on any certificate of any Credit Party, without further inquiry) and, to the extent that the property being sold or disposed of constitutes 100% of the Equity Interests in a Credit Party, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, is authorized to release any Guaranty provided by such Credit Party; or (iii) constituting property in which the Credit Parties owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (iv) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (other than with respect to a release of all or substantially all of the Collateral, which shall require the approval of all Lenders).

-99-

(b)Without in any manner limiting the authority of each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by the Lenders (as set forth in Section 10.16(a)), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, under Section 10.16(a).

Section 10.17[Reserved]

Section 10.18Guaranty.

(a)Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each Secured Party the full and prompt payment and performance of any and all Obligations, in each case, as primary obligor and not as surety. Such guaranty shall be an absolute, continuing, irrevocable, and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance, and not a guaranty of collection, and each Guarantor shall remain liable on its obligations hereunder until the payment and performance in full of the Obligations and shall be reinstated if at any time payment of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Credit Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Credit Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. No set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, reduction, or diminution of any obligation, or any defense of any kind or nature which any Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries may have against any Secured Party or any other party shall be available to, or shall be asserted by, any Guarantor against any Secured Party or any subsequent holder of the Obligations or any part thereof or against payment of the Obligations or any part thereof.

(b)If any Guarantor becomes liable for any Obligations other than under this Section 10.18, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or affected hereby, and the rights of each Secured Party shall be cumulative of any and all other rights that any Secured Party may ever have against any Guarantor.

(c)In the event of default by any Credit Party in payment or performance of any of the Obligations, or any part thereof, when any part of the Obligations becomes due, whether by its terms, by acceleration, upon demand or otherwise, each Guarantor shall promptly pay the

-100-

amount due thereon to the Administrative Agent without notice or demand in dollars and it shall not be necessary for Administrative Agent, in order to enforce such payment by such Guarantor, first to institute suit or exhaust its remedies against any other Credit Party or any others liable on such Obligations, or to enforce any rights against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure such Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.18, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably subordinates to the prior and indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations, any and all rights such Guarantor may now or hereafter have under any agreement or at law or in equity (including any law subrogating such Guarantor to the rights of any of the Secured Parties) to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any Credit Party or any other party liable for payment of any or all of the Obligations for any payment made by such Guarantor under or in connection with this Section 10.18 or otherwise.

(d)Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under this Section 10.18 shall not be released, discharged, diminished, impaired, reduced, or affected for any reason or by the occurrence of any event, including one or more of the following events, whether or not with notice to or the consent of such Guarantor: (i) the taking or accepting of collateral as security for any or all of the Obligations or the release, surrender, exchange, or subordination of any collateral now or hereafter securing any or all of the Obligations; (ii) any partial release of the liability of any Credit Party hereunder or any Credit Party under the other Loan Documents, or the full or partial release of any other guarantor from liability for any or all of the Obligations; (iii) any disability of any Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries, or the dissolution, insolvency, or bankruptcy of any Credit Party, any of their Subsidiaries, any guarantor or any other party at any time liable for the payment of any or all of the Obligations; (iv) any renewal, extension, modification, waiver, amendment, or rearrangement of any or all of the Obligations or any instrument, document, or agreement evidencing, securing, or otherwise relating to any or all of the Obligations; (v) any adjustment, indulgence, forbearance, waiver, or compromise that may be granted or given by any Secured Party to any Credit Party, or any other party ever liable for any or all of the Obligations; (vi) any neglect, delay, omission, failure, or refusal of any Secured Party to take or prosecute any action for the collection of any of the Obligations or to foreclose or take or prosecute any action in connection with any instrument, document, or agreement evidencing, securing, or otherwise relating to any or all of the Obligations; (vii) the unenforceability or invalidity of any or all of the Obligations or of any instrument, document, or agreement evidencing, securing, or otherwise relating to any or all of the Obligations; (viii) any payment by any Credit Party, any Subsidiary of any Credit Party or any other party to any Secured Party is held to constitute a preference under applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law or if for any other reason any Secured Party is required to refund any payment or pay the amount thereof to someone else; (ix) the settlement or compromise of any of the Obligations; (x) the non-perfection of any security interest or lien securing any or all of the Obligations; (xi) any impairment of any collateral securing any or all of the Obligations; (xii) the failure of any Secured Party to sell any collateral securing any or all of the Obligations in a commercially reasonable manner or as otherwise required by law; (xiii) any change in the corporate existence, structure, or ownership of any Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries; or (xiv) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, any Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries.

(e)Each Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of any default under the Obligations, demand of payment, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, presentment,

-101-

notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of the incurring by any Credit Party of additional obligations or indebtedness, and all other notices and demands with respect to the Obligations and this Agreement.

(f)The provisions of this Section are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under this Section would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Guarantor’s liability hereunder, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Credit Parties or the Secured Parties, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”), provided, that each Borrower shall remain liable for all Term Loans advanced to such Borrower. This Section with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Secured Parties to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Credit Party nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Guarantor without impairing this Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder, provided, that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.

(g)In the event any Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Section or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Section, each other Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Section, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Obligations (up to such Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Section from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of the Obligations.

Section 10.19Construction. The Borrower, each other Credit Party, the Administrative Agent and each Lender acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the parties hereto.

-102-

Section 10.20Joint and Several Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Documents, the Borrower acknowledges that it and the Guarantors are jointly and severally responsible for their respective agreements, covenants, representations, warranties and obligations contained and set forth in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document to which the applicable Party is a party.

Section 10.21USA Patriot Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in order to help the United States government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, pursuant to Federal regulations that became effective on October 1, 2003 (Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act) (the “Act”) requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, record and update information that identifies each person establishing a relationship or opening an account. Each Credit Party agrees that it will provide to the Agents, the Lenders such information as they may request, from time to time, in order for the Agent, the Lenders to satisfy the requirements of the Act, including but not limited to the name, address, tax identification number and other information that will allow it to identify the individual or entity who is establishing the relationship or opening the account and may also ask for formation documents such as articles of incorporation or other identifying documents to be provided.

Section 10.22Jurisdiction; Service of Process. Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that any Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Credit Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in this Section 10.22. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.2. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 10.23Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee or participant of, or any prospective assignee or participant of,

-103-

any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; provided that any assignee, prospective assignee or participant agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section or confidentiality obligations substantially similar to those of this Section, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors or brokers) to any swap, derivative transaction or credit insurance relating to the Credit Parties and their obligations; provided that any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors or brokers) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section or confidentiality obligations substantially similar to those of this Section, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Credit Parties relating to any of the Credit Parties, their respective subsidiaries or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN THIS SECTION 10.23 FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE CREDIT PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES AND AFFILIATES, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS, CONSENTS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE CREDIT PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES AND AFFILIATES, PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE CREDIT PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES AND AFFILIATES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE CREDIT PARTIES AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

-104-

Section 10.24Waiver of Sovereign Immunity. Each Credit Party that is incorporated outside the United States, in respect of itself, its Subsidiaries, its process agents, and its properties and revenues, hereby irrevocably agrees that, to the extent that such Credit Party or its respective Subsidiaries or any of its or its respective Subsidiaries’ properties has or may hereafter acquire any right of immunity, whether characterized as sovereign immunity or otherwise, from any legal proceedings, whether in the United States or elsewhere, to enforce or collect upon the Term Loans or any Loan Document or any other liability or obligation of such Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries related to or arising from the transactions contemplated by any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, immunity from service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal, immunity from execution of a judgment, and immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, such Credit Party, for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, any such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such proceeding, whether in the United States or elsewhere. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Credit Party further agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section 10.24 shall have the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States and are intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such Act.

Section 10.25Intercreditor Agreement. Each Secured Party hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into and become bound by the Intercreditor Agreement on its behalf and to take such action on its behalf under the provisions thereof. Each Secured Party further agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement and agrees that it shall not take any action that is prohibited by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. No further consent or approval on the part of any Secured Party is or will be required in connection with the performance by Agent of the Intercreditor Agreement. The Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties acknowledge that the exercise of certain of Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder are subject to and restricted by, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement shall control.

The parties hereto agree that any notice or information that is by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be delivered to any Agent shall be so delivered for the benefit of the Secured Parties that are a party thereto and may (or upon request shall) be shared with or further distributed or posted to such Secured Party.

Section 10.27Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder that may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

-105-

(b)the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

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

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