In the event that any financial statement or Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section

Loans at the time such payment is received, regardless of whether those Lenders held the Commitments

and Loans during the relevant period) the accrued additional interest owing as a result of such increased

Applicable Margin for that period; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, such deficiency shall be due and

payable as at such Corrected Financials Date and no Default or Event of Default under Section 11.1(a)

have failed to deliver the Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 9.1(d)by the applicable date

required under Section 9.1(d)and upon written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, then

only for so long as such failure continues, the first Business Day after which such ratio shall be

determined based on the then existing Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Applicable Margin in respect of any Class of Extended

Revolving Credit Commitments, any Extended Revolving Credit Loans or any Extended Term Loans

shall be the applicable percentages per annum set forth in the relevant Extension Amendment, (b) the

Applicable Margin in respect of any Class of any Incremental Loans shall be the applicable percentages

per annum set forth in the relevant Joinder Agreement, (c) the Applicable Margin in respect of any Class

of Replacement Facilities shall be the applicable percentages per annum set forth in the relevant

agreement, (d) the Applicable Margin in respect of any Class of Refinancing Indebtedness that would

constitute Revolving Credit Commitments shall be the applicable percentages per annum set forth in the

-5-

relevant agreement and (e) in the case of any Loans, the Applicable Margin shall be increased as, and to

the extent, necessary to comply with the provisions of Section 2.14.

“Applicable Percentage” shall mean, at any time, (a) with respect to any Lender with a

Revolving Credit Commitment of any Class, the percentage (carried out to the ninth decimal place) of the

aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class outstanding at such time represented by such

Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment with respect to such Class at such time; providedthat if the

Revolving Commitments of such Class have terminated or expired, then the Applicable Percentage shall

be determined based upon the Applicable Percentage of such Lender most recently in effect, giving effect

to any assignments of such Class of Revolving Loans, Letter of Credit Exposures and Swingline

Exposures that occur after such termination or expiration, and (b) with respect to such Lender’s portion of

any outstanding Term Loan at such time, the percentage (carried out to the ninth decimal place) of the

outstanding principal amount of such Term Loan held by such Lender at such time.  The initial

Applicable Percentage of each Lender is set forth opposite the name of such Lender on Schedule 1.1(a)or

in the Assignment and Acceptanceor other documentation pursuant to which such Lender becomes a

tests (including the Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, the Consolidated First Lien

Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, the Consolidated Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated

this Agreement (or required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this

Agreement) shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying

the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and

this Agreement expressly requiring the use of a current exchange rate, all amounts incurred, outstanding,

or proposed to be incurred or outstanding in currencies other than Dollars shall be translated into Dollars

at the Spot Rate; provided, however, that for purposes of determining compliance with Section 2.14or

Section 10with respect to the amount of any Indebtedness, Investment, Lien, Asset Sale, or Restricted

Payment in a currency other than Dollars, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have

occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness,

Lien or Investment is incurred or after such Asset Sale or Restricted Payment is made; providedthat, for

the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.6shall otherwise apply to such

Sections, including with respect to determining whether any Indebtedness, Lien, or Investment may be

-78-

1.7Rates.  The Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall

the Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other

matter related to any reference rate referred to herein or with respect to any rate (including, for the

avoidance of doubt, the selection  of such rate and any related spread or other adjustment) that is an

alternative or replacement for or successor to any such rate (including, without limitation, any Successor

Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing) or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any

Conforming Changes.  The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in

transactions or other activities that affect any reference rate referred to herein, or any alternative,

successor or replacement rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate) (or any component of

any of the foregoing) or any related spread or other adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse

to the Borrower.  The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable

discretion to ascertain any reference rate referred to herein or any alternative, successor or replacement

rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing), in

or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive,

incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and

references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

1.9Timing of Payment or Performance.  Except as otherwise provided herein, when the

payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty, or obligation is stated to be due or

performance required on (or before) a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other

than as described in the definition of “Interest Period”) or performance shall extend to the immediately

succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as

the case may be.

1.10Certifications.  All certifications to be made hereunder by an officer or representative of a

Credit Party shall be made by such a Person in his or her capacity solely as an officer or a representative

of such Credit Party, on such Credit Party’s behalf and not in such Person’s individual capacity.

1.11Compliance with Certain Sections.  In the event that any Lien, Investment, Indebtedness

(whether at the time of incurrence or upon application of all or a portion of the proceeds thereof),

disposition, Restricted Payment, Affiliate transaction, Contractual Requirement, or prepayment of

Indebtedness meets the criteria of one or more than one of the categories of transactions then permitted

pursuant to any clause or subsection of Sections 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6(other than Section

10.6(z)(ii)), 10.7or 10.14, then such transaction (or portion thereof) at any time shall be allocated to one

or more of such clauses or subsections within the relevant sections as determined by the Borrower in its

sole discretion at such time. In addition, the Borrower shall be permitted to later (on one or more

occasions) re-divide and/or reclassify any such transactions as occurring under one or more of the clauses

within the relevant sections as determined by the Borrower in its sole discretion at such time, including to

reclassify utilization of any Fixed Amounts as incurred under any Incurrence Based Amounts, including

-79-

any financial incurrence tests; provided, that if any financial incurrence tests would be satisfied in any

subsequent fiscal quarter following the utilization of any Fixed Amounts or other Incurrence Based

Amounts, such reclassifications shall be deemed to have automatically occurred if not elected by the

Borrower.

1.12Pro Forma and Other Calculations.

(a)For purposes of calculating the Consolidated First Lien Secured Debt to Consolidated

EBITDA Ratio, Consolidated Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, Consolidated Total

Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Investments,

acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations, Subsidiary designation and disposed operations (as

determined in accordance with GAAP) that have been made by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary

during the Test Period or subsequent to such Test Period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the

date of determination shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming that all such Investments,

acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations, and disposed operations (and the change in any

associated fixed charge obligations and the change in Consolidated EBITDA resulting therefrom) had

occurred on the first day of the Test Period; providedthat when calculating the Consolidated First Lien

Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio for purposes of the definition of “Applicable Margin”,

except as expressly set forth therein, Section 5.2(a)(ii) and the Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated

EBITDA Ratio for purposes of determining actual compliance with Section 10.9 (and not pro forma

compliance, compliance on a Pro Forma Basis or determining compliance giving Pro Forma Effect to a

transaction), any such transactions occurring subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not

be given pro forma effect.  If, since the beginning of such period, any Person (that subsequently became a

Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary since the

beginning of such period) shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger,

consolidation, or disposed operation that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then

the Consolidated First Lien Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, Consolidated Senior Secured

Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio and

Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving Pro Forma Effect thereto for such

Test Period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation, or disposed operation

had occurred at the beginning of the Test Period.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with

respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision

of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without

limitation, the Consolidated First Lien Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, the Consolidated

Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA

Ratio and the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”)

substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in

reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with any such financial ratio or test

(any such amounts, the “Incurrence Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed

Amounts (and any cash proceeds thereof) shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or

test applicable to the Incurrence Based Amounts in connection with such substantially concurrent

incurrence. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of calculating any Consolidated First Lien Secured

Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, Consolidated Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio,

Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio or Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio

required to be satisfied as a condition to the incurrence of any Indebtedness, the proceeds of any

Indebtedness being incurred in reliance on such ratio shall not be netted (but the Borrower may give Pro

Forma Effect to, among other things, the repayment of any Indebtedness to be repaid with such proceeds).

(b)Whenever Pro Forma Effect is to be given to a transaction, the pro forma calculations

shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower (and may

-80-

include, for the avoidance of doubt and without duplication, cost savings, operating expense reductions,

operating enhancements and other cost synergies (in each case net of amounts actually realized and costs

incurred to achieve the same) resulting from such Investment, acquisition, merger, or consolidation which

is being given Pro Forma Effect; providedthat such costs savings, operating expense reductions,

operating enhancements and other synergies (in each case net of amounts actually realized and costs

incurred to achieve the same) are made in compliance with the definition of Pro Forma Adjustment).  If

any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given Pro Forma Effect, the interest on such

Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the

applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account for such entire period, any Hedging Obligation

applicable to such Indebtedness with a remaining term of 12 months or longer, and in the case of any

Hedging Obligation applicable to such Indebtedness with a remaining term of less than 12 months, taking

into account such Hedging Obligation to the extent of its remaining term).  Interest on a Capitalized Lease

Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial

or accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease

Obligation in accordance with GAAP.  For purposes of making the computation referred to above,

interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a Pro Forma Basis shall be

computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period (or, if

lower, the greater of (i) maximum commitments under such revolving credit facilities as of the date of

determination and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding under such revolving credit

facilities on such date).  Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate

based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be

deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate

chosen as the Borrower may designate.

(c)In connection with any action being taken solely in connection with a Limited Condition

Transaction, for purposes of:

(i)determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the

calculation of the Consolidated First Lien Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, Consolidated

Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA

Ratio or Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio;

(ii)determining the accuracy of representations and warranties in Section 8and/or

whether a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under Section 11; or

(iii)testing availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets

measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets);

in each case, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection

with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any

such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such

Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (or, in respect of any transaction described in clause (ii)of

the definition of a Limited Condition Transaction, delivery of irrevocable notice or similar event) (the

“LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the

other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (to the extent reasonably necessary to

consummate such Investment, acquisition, merger, consolidation or similar transaction or repayment,

repurchase or refinancing of Indebtedness) (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of

proceeds thereof and any disposition of assets contemplated in connection therewith) as if they had

occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the LCT Test Date, the Borrower

could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such

-81-

ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with; provided, that, no Specified Event of Default

shall exist at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction.  For the avoidance of

doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance

was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio

or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower or the Person subject to

such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action,

such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations.  If the

Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any

subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or

Liens, or the making of Restricted Payments, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or

substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other

satisfaction of Indebtedness, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant

LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is

consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is

entered intowithout consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall

be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis (x) in all cases, assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and

other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of

proceeds thereof) have been consummated and (y) solely in connection with any proposed Restricted

Payment or prepayment of Junior Debt, assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other Pro

Forma events in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and Liens) have not been

consummated.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.12or in any classification

under GAAP of any Person, business, assets or operations in respect of which a definitive agreement for

the disposition thereof has been entered into as discontinued operations, no Pro Forma Effect shall be

given to any discontinued operations (and the Consolidated EBITDA attributable to any such Person,

business, assets or operations shall not be excluded for any purposes hereunder) until such disposition

shall have been consummated.

(e)Any determination of Consolidated Total Assets shall be made by reference to the last

day of the Test Period most recently ended on or prior to the relevant date of determination.

(f)Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all computations of Consolidated Total

Assets, Available Amount, Consolidated First Lien Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio,

Consolidated Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, Consolidated Total Debt to

Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and other financial ratios and

financial calculations (and all definitions (including accounting terms) used in determining any of the

foregoing) and all computations and all definitions (including accounting terms) used in determining

compliance with Section 10.9shall be calculated, in each case, with respect to the Borrower and the

Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

(g)All leases of any Person that are or would have been characterized as operating leases in

accordance with GAAP immediately prior to December 15, 2018 (whether or not such leases were in

effect on such date) shall be accounted for as operating leases (and not as Capital Leases) for purposes of

this Agreement regardless of any change in GAAP following December 15, 2018 that would otherwise

require such leases to be recharacterized as Capital Leases, to the extent that financial reporting shall not

be affected hereby; provided, however, that, solely for the purposes of determining whether a lease

constitutes Indebtedness for the purposes of Section 10.1(d), any obligations relating to a lease that was

accounted for by the Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries as an operating lease as of December 15, 2018 and

any similar lease assumed or entered into after December 15, 2018 shall be accounted for as an operating

-82-

lease and not a Capitalized Lease Obligation for all purposes thereunder; provided, further, that

notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, any lease that is or would be characterized as an

operating lease for purposes of GAAP prior to the issuance of FASB ASU No. 2016-02 shall continue to

be accounted for as an operating lease for purposes of this Agreement (whether or not such operating

lease was in effect on such date) notwithstanding the fact that such lease is required in accordance with

the ASU (on a prospective or retroactive basis or otherwise) to be treated as a Capitalized Lease in the

financial statements to be delivered pursuant to Section 9.1. All Capital Leases that were assumed by the

Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary in connection with any Permitted Acquisition or were in existence at

the time any Person became a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a Permitted Acquisition (and not, in

each case, incurred or created in contemplation of such Permitted Acquisition) shall be treated as

operating leases for the purpose of calculating Consolidated EBITDA, the Consolidated First Lien

Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, the Consolidated Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated

EBITDA Ratio, the Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, Consolidated Fixed Charge

Coverage Ratio or any other financial definition or ratio in any Credit Document and, in the case of any

Indebtedness or Liens initially incurred in reliance on an amount calculated based on a percentage of

Consolidated EBITDA, such Indebtedness or Liens may be refinanced in a manner that is otherwise in

accordance with the provisions of this Agreement in an amount not in excess of the original principal

amount therefor (without giving effect to any fees, premiums, original issue discount or similar amounts,

but giving effect to any capitalized interest or other amounts that increase such principal),

notwithstanding that Consolidated EBITDA may no longer permit the initial incurrence of such amount at

such time.

1.13Form Intercreditor Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, an

Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to be reasonable and acceptable to the

Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be deemed to

have consented to the use of each such intercreditor agreement (and to the Administrative Agent’s

execution thereof) in connection with any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred, issued and/or assumed

by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 10.1.

1.14Making or Maintaining Term SOFR Loans.

(a)If in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or a conversion to or

continuation thereof, as applicable, (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be

conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with

Section 1.14(b), and the circumstances under clause (i) of Section 1.14(b)or the Scheduled Unavailability

Date has occurred (as applicable) or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for

determining Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan

or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the

Required Lendersdetermine that for any reason that the Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period

with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such

Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each

Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans  or to

convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term

SOFR Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding

sentence with respect to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR

component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent

(or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders described in clause (ii) of this Section 1.14(a),

until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon

receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to

or continuation of Term SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods)

-83-

or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base

Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding Term SOFR Loans shall be deemed to

have been converted to Base Rate Loans at the end of their respective applicable Interest Period.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit

Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent

manifest error), or the Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of

the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable)

have determined, that:

(i)adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one month, three

month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR, including, without limitation, because the Term

SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to

be temporary; or

(ii)CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a

Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or such administrator with

respect to its publication of Term SOFR, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement

identifying a specific date after which one month, three month and six month  interest periods of Term

SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be representative or made available, or

permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of Dollar denominated syndicated loans, or shall or

will otherwise cease, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that

is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide such  interest periods of Term

SOFR on a representative basis after such specific date (the latest date on which one month, three month

and six month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate are no longer representative

or available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”);

then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, the “Term SOFR

Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest

payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later

than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any Credit

Document with Daily Simple SOFR for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined

by the Administrative Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any

other party to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document (the “Successor Rate”).

If the Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if the Administrative Agent determines that Daily

Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (ii) if the events or

circumstances of the type described in Section 1.14(b)(i)or (ii)have occurred with respect to the

Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend

this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR or any then current Successor Rate in

accordance with this Section 1.14at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or

payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due

consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollar denominated credit facilities

syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmark and, in each case, including

any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or

then existing convention for similar Dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the

United States for such benchmark.  For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments,

shall constitute a “Successor Rate”.  Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the

fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all

Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have

-84-

delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such

amendment.

The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrower and each Lender of

the implementation of any Successor Rate.

Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; providedthat to the

extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor

Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would

otherwise be less than 0.00%, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be 0.00% for the purposes of this

Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right

to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or

in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become

effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; providedthat, with

respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment

implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such

amendment becomes effective.

For purposes of this Section 1.14, those Lenders that either have not made, or do not have an obligation

under this Agreement to make, the relevant Loans in Dollars shall be excluded from any determination of

Required Lenders.

Section 2.Amount and Terms of Credit.

2.1Commitments.

(a)Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, (i) each Lender having an

Initial Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make a loan or loans denominated in Dollars (each, an

“Initial Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date, in an amount that does not exceed (A) for

any such Lender, the Initial Term Loan Commitment of such Lender as of the Closing Date and

(B) $250,000,000 in the aggregate. Term Loans (i) may at the option of the Borrower be incurred and

maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans; providedthat all Term

Loans made by each of the Lenders pursuant to the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically

provided herein, consist entirely of Term Loans of the same Type, (ii) may be repaid or prepaid (without

premium or penalty other than as set forth in Section 2.11) in accordance with the provisions hereof, but

once repaid or prepaid, may not be reborrowed, (iii) shall not exceed for any such Lender the Initial Term

Loan Commitment of such Lender, and (iv) shall not exceed in the aggregate the Total Term Loan

Commitment.  On the Term Loan Maturity Date, all then unpaid Initial Term Loans shall be repaid in full

in Dollars.

(b)Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Revolving Credit

Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars to the Borrower from its

applicable Lending Office (each, including any refinancing thereof, a “Revolving Credit Loan”) in an

aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Revolving Credit

Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, providedthat such Revolving Credit Loans (A) shall be made at

any time and from time to time on (subject to the proviso at the end of this sentence) and after the Closing

Date and prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, (B) may, at the option of the Borrower be incurred

and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans that are Revolving

Credit Loans; providedthat all Revolving Credit Loans made by each of the Lenders pursuant to the same

Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of Revolving Credit Loans

of the same Type, (C) may be repaid (without premium or penalty other than as set forth in Section 2.11)

and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (D) shall not, for any Lender at any time, after

giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result in such Revolving Credit

Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure in respect of any Class of Revolving Loans at such time exceeding

such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment in respect of such Class of Revolving

Loan at such time and (E) shall not, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds

thereof, result at any time in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Lenders’ Revolving Credit

Exposures at such time exceeding the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect or the aggregate

amount of the Revolving Credit Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures of any Class of Revolving Loans at

such time exceeding the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment with respect to such Class. The

Revolving Credit Loan (exclusive of Letter of Credit usage) will be made available on the Closing Date to

finance the Refinancing, and Transaction Expenses and general corporate purposes, including working

capital needs, in an amount not to exceed $225,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Closing Date Revolving

Borrowings”).

(c)Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Swingline Lender, in its

individual capacity, agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section

2, at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and prior to the Swingline Maturity

Date, to make a loan or loans denominated in Dollars (each, a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively the

“Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower, which Swingline Loans (i) shall be Base Rate Loans, (ii) shall have

the benefit of the provisions of this Section 2.1(c), (iii) shall not exceed at any time outstanding the

Swingline Commitment, (iv) shall not, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds

thereof, result at any time in (1) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans and

-86-

Swingline Loans held by the Swingline Lender (and if the Swingline Lender is not also a Revolving

Credit Lender, by each of its Affiliates that is a Revolving Credit Lender) would exceed the Revolving

Credit Commitment of such Swingline Lender (and such Affiliates, if any) or (2) the aggregate amount of

the Revolving Credit Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures at such time exceeding the Total Revolving

Credit Commitments at such time and (v) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the

provisions hereof; providedthat (x) the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swingline Loan to

refinance any outstanding Swingline Loan, and (y) the Swingline Lender shall not be under any obligation

to make any Swingline Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding

absent manifest error) that it has, or by such credit extension may have, Fronting Exposure.  So long as

any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender may require, in its sole discretion, as a condition

precedent to the issuance, amendment or increase of any Swingline Loan, that the Borrower Cash

Collateralize such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure

immediately prior to, or simultaneously with, the issuance, amendment or increase of such Swingline

Loan.  On the Swingline Maturity Date, all Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full.  The Swingline

Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan after receiving a written notice from Holdings, the Borrower,

the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders stating that one or more applicable conditions

contained in Section 7shall not be satisfied to the extent required thereby until such time as the Swingline

Lender shall have received written notice of (x) rescission of all such notices from the party or parties

originally delivering such notice or (y) the waiver of such Default or Event of Default or other conditions

in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1. Immediately upon the making of a Swingline Loan,

each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to,

purchase from the Swingline Lender a risk participation in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the

product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swingline

Loan.

(d)On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to

each Revolving Credit Lender that all then-outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with a

Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans, in which case (i) Revolving Credit Loans constituting Base Rate

Loans shall be made (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) by each Revolving Credit

Lender pro rata based on each Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage, and the proceeds

thereof shall be applied directly to the Swingline Lender to repay the Swingline Lender for such

outstanding Swingline Loans.  Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be

deemed to be a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.3,

without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate

Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set

forth in Section 7. The Swingline Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan

Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender

hereby irrevocably agrees to make such Revolving Credit Loans in immediately available funds (and the

Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swingline Loan)

for the account of the Swingline Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated

payments not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to the last

sentence of this Section 2.1(d), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be

deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount pursuant to each Mandatory

Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified

to it in writing by the Swingline Lender.  In the event that, in the sole judgment of the Swingline Lender,

any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including

as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of the Borrower

or the failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 7), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by

the Swingline Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swingline Lender that

each of the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swingline Loan and each

-87-

Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender

pursuant to this Section 2.1(d)shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(e)If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for

the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the

Section 2.1(d)by the date specified for such payment, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover

from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest

thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is

immediately available to the Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal

Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swingline Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on

interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the

Swingline Lender in connection with the foregoing.  If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and

fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s committed Loan included in the

relevant committed Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swingline Loan, as the case may be.

A certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with

respect to any amounts owing under this clause (e)shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f)Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to

purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.01(c)through (e)shall

be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff,

counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swingline

Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance

of a Default or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the

foregoing. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the

Borrower to repay Swingline Loans, together with interest as provided herein. At any time after any

Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swingline Loan, if the

Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of such Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender will

distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those

received by the Swingline Lender. If any payment received by the Swingline Lender in respect of

principal or interest on any Swingline Loan is required to be returned by the Swingline Lender under any

of the circumstances described in Section 13.20(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the

Swingline Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swingline Lender its

Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date

of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate.

The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swingline Lender. The

obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the

termination of this Agreement.

(g)The Swingline Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the

Swingline Loans. Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation

pursuant to this Section 2.1to refinance such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any

Swingline Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the

Swingline Lender.

(h)The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the

Swingline Loans directly to the Swingline Lender.

2.2Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing; Maximum Number of Borrowings.  The

aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of (i) Term Loans shall be in a minimum amount of at

least the Minimum Borrowing Amount for such Type of Loans and in a multiple of $100,000 in excess

thereof, (ii) Revolving Loans shall be in a minimum amount of at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount

-88-

for such Type of Loans and in a multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (iii) Swingline Loans shall be

in a minimum amount of $100,000 and in a multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (except that

Mandatory Borrowings shall be made in the amounts required by Section 2.1(d)and Revolving Credit

Loans to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to any Unpaid Drawing shall be made in the

amounts required by Section 3.3or Section 3.4, as applicable).  More than one Borrowing may be

incurred on any date; providedthat after giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from

one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten

(10) Interest Periods in effect (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent).

2.3Loan Notice.

(a)Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Loans (other than Swingline Loans) hereunder,

the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office irrevocable notice

of each Borrowing. Each such notice (a “Loan Notice” substantially in the form of Exhibit J or such other

form as approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic

transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent)) must be received by the

Administrative Agent no later than (i) in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 11:00 a.m.

(New York City time) on the requested funding date and (ii) in the case of a Borrowing of Term SOFR

Loans, prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least two (2) Business Days’ prior to the requested

funding date (or, the case of a Borrowing of Initial Term Loans to be made on the Closing Date, one

Business Day). Such Loan Notice shall specify (A) the applicable Credit Facility and whether the

Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, (B) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made, (C) the

date of the Borrowing (which, in the case of a Borrowing of Initial Term Loans, shall be the Closing

Date) and (D) whether the Term Loans shall consist of Base Rate Loans and/or Term SOFR Loans and, if

the Term Loans are to include Term SOFR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto.  If

no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing

shall be an Base Rate Borrowing.  If no Interest Period with respect to any Borrowing of Term SOFR

Loans is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest

Period of one month’s duration.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders

of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.3(a)(and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s pro

rata share of the requested Borrowing.

(b)Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall

give the Swingline Lender written notice in the form of Exhibit K(or such other form as approved by the

Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as

shall be approved by the Administrative Agent)) with a copy to the Administrative Agent of each

Borrowing of Swingline Loans prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing.

Each such notice shall specify (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans to be made

pursuant to such Borrowing and (y) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day).

(c)Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 2.1(d), with

the Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of Mandatory

Borrowings as set forth in such Section.

(d)Borrowings to reimburse Unpaid Drawings shall be made upon the notice specified in

Section 3.4(a).

(e)Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any

notice it shall give hereunder by telephone (which obligation is absolute), the Administrative Agent may

act prior to receipt of a Loan Notice without liability upon the basis of a telephonic notice from the

-89-

Borrower; providedthat any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the

Administrative Agent of a Loan Notice.

2.4Disbursement of Funds.

(a)No later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified in each Loan Notice

(including Mandatory Borrowings but not any Borrowing of Swingline Loans), each Lender shall make

available its pro rataportion, if any, of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date in the manner

provided below; providedthat on the Closing Date, such funds may be made available at such earlier time

as may be agreed among the Lenders, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent for the purpose of

consummating the Transactions; provided, further, that all Swingline Loans shall be made available to the

Borrower in the full amount thereof by the Swingline Lender no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City

time).

(b)Each Lender shall make available all amounts it is to fund to the Borrower under any

Borrowing for its applicable Commitments, and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative

Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office and the Administrative Agent will (except in the case of

Borrowings to repay Unpaid Drawings) make available to the Borrower, either by (i) crediting the

account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire

transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably

acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date a Loan

Notice with respect to a Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans is given by the Borrower, there are Unpaid

Drawings, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such

Unpaid Drawings, and second, shall be made available to the Borrower as provided above.

(c)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the

proposed date of any Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate

Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender does not intend to make

available to the Administrative Agent its portion of such Borrowing or Borrowings, the Administrative

Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such

date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole

discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.

If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender

and the Administrative Agent has made available such amount to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent,

then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith

on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day

from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of

payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the

greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with

banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plusany administrative, processing or similar fees

customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of

a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower

and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping

period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by

the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the

Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such

Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have

against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. A notice of the

Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this clause

(c)shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

-90-

(d)Nothing in this Section 2.4shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to

fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any

Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender

shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder).

(e)If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be

made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, and such funds are not

made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because any applicable condition set forth in

Section 7are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall

return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(f)The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters

of Credit and Swingline Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 12.7are several and not joint.

The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment

under Section 12.7on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding

obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to

so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 12.7.

(g)Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan

in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or

will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(h)If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent

to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds

shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the

parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and

(ii) second, toward payment of principal and Unpaid Drawings then due hereunder, ratably among the

parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and Unpaid Drawings then due to such

parties.

(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange,

continue or rollover all or the portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan

modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless

settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.

2.5Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a)The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Initial Term

Loan Lenders, on the Term Loan Maturity Date, the then outstanding Initial Term Loans. The Borrower

shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, on the Revolving

Credit Maturity Date, the then outstanding Revolving Credit Loans.  The Borrower shall repay to the

Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, on each Extended Revolving Loan

Maturity Date, the then outstanding amount of Extended Revolving Credit Loans.  The Borrower shall

repay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Incremental Revolving Loan Lenders, on each

Incremental Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the then outstanding amount of Incremental Revolving

Credit Loans.  The Borrower shall repay to the Swingline Lender, on the earlier of (x) the date ten (10)

Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made and (y) the Swingline Maturity Date, the then

outstanding Swingline Loans.

(b)The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, (A) for the benefit of the Initial

Term Loan Lenders, on the last Business Day of each of March, June, September and December,

-91-

commencing with the fiscal quarter ending on March 31, 2027 (each such date, an “Initial Term Loan

Repayment Date”),a principal amount of Term Loans equal $3,125,000.00 (as such amount may be

reduced from time to time by any mandatory or voluntary prepayments applied thereto) and (B) on the

Term Loan Maturity Date, any remaining outstanding amount of Initial Term Loans (the repayment

amounts in clauses (A) a “Term Loan Repayment Amount”); providedthat (i) if any Term Loan

Repayment Amount (other than principal repayment installments on Term SOFR Loans) shall come due

on a day other than a Business Day, such principal repayment installment shall be due on the next

succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as

the case may be and (ii) if any Term Loan Repayment Amount on a Term SOFR Loan shall come due on

a day other than a Business Day, such principal repayment installment shall be extended to the next

succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such Term Loan

Repayment Amount into another calendar month, in which event such principal repayment installment

shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(c)[Reserved].

(d)In the event that any New Term Loans are made, such New Term Loans shall, subject to

Section 2.14(d), be repaid by the Borrower in the amounts (each, a “New Term Loan Repayment

Amount”) and on the dates (each a “New Term Loan Repayment Date”) set forth in the applicable

Joinder Agreement and subject to any adjustment to ensure fungibility with the other Term Loans.  In the

event that any Incremental Revolving Credit Loans are made, such Incremental Revolving Credit Loans

shall, subject to Section 2.14(e), be repaid by the Borrower in the amounts (each, a “New Revolving

Loan Repayment Amount”) and on the dates (each a “New Revolving Loan Repayment Date”) set

forth in the applicable Joinder Agreement.  In the event that any Extended Term Loans are established,

such Extended Term Loans shall, subject to Section 2.14(g), be repaid by the Borrower in the amounts

(each such amount with respect to any Extended Repayment Date, an “ExtendedTerm Loan

Repayment Amount”) and on the dates (each, an “Extended Repayment Date”) set forth in the

applicable Extension Amendment.

(e)Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts

evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to the appropriate Lending Office of such Lender resulting

from each Loan made by such Lending Office of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of

principal and interest payable and paid to such Lending Office of such Lender from time to time under

this Agreement.

(f)The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 13.6(b), in

which Register shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, whether such Loan is an

Initial Term Loan, New Term Loan, Revolving Credit Loan, New Revolving Credit Loan, Incremental

Revolving Credit Loan or Swingline Loan, the Type of each Loan made, the names of the Borrower and

the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable

or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any

sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(g)The entries made in the Register and accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (e)and (f)

of this Section 2.5shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the credit extensions made

by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon; provided, however, that, in the

event of any inconsistency between the Register and any such account of a Lender, the Register shall

govern; provided, further, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent or Swingline Lender

to maintain such account or Register, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the

obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such

Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

-92-

(h)The Borrower hereby agrees that, upon request of any Lender at any time and from time

to time, the Borrower shall provide to such Lender, at the Borrower’s own expense, a promissory note (a

“Promissory Note”), substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1, evidencing the Loans owing to such

Lender in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Promissory Note

and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with

respect thereto.

(i)In addition to the accounts and records referred to above, each Lender and the

Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing

the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans. In the

event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the

accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the

Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.6Conversions and Continuations.

(a)Subject to the immediately succeeding sentence in this clause (a), (x) the Borrower shall

have the option on any Business Day to convert all or a portion at least equal to the Minimum Borrowing

Amount for Loans of one Type into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type and (y) the Borrower

shall have the option on any Business Day to continue the outstanding principal amount of any Term

SOFR Loans as Term SOFR Loans for an additional Interest Period; providedthat (i) no partial

conversion of Term SOFR Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of Term SOFR Loans

made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount, (ii) Base Rate Loans

may not be converted into Term SOFR Loans if an Event of Default is in existence on the date of the

conversion and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole

discretion not to permit such conversion, (iii) Term SOFR Loans may not be continued as Term SOFR

Loans for an additional Interest Period if an Event of Default is in existence on the date of the proposed

continuation and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their

sole discretion not to permit such continuation, and (iv) Borrowings resulting from conversions pursuant

to this Section 2.6shall be limited in number as provided in Section 2.2.  Each such conversion or

continuation shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent prior written notice in

the form of a Loan Notice at the Administrative Agent’s Office prior to (i) 11:00 a.m. (New York City

time) at least two (2) Business Days prior, in the case of a continuation of or conversion to Term SOFR

Loans, or (ii) 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the proposed Business Day of a conversion into Base

Rate Loans specifying the Loans to be so converted or continued, the Type of Loans to be converted or

continued into and, if such Loans are to be converted into or continued as Term SOFR Loans, the Interest

Period to be initially applicable thereto.  If no Interest Period is specified in any such Loan Notice with

respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Term SOFR Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have

elected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.  The Administrative Agent shall give each applicable

Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any

of its Loans.

(b)Except as otherwise provided herein, a Term SOFR Loan may be continued or converted

only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Term SOFR Loan. If any Event of Default is in

existence at the time of any proposed continuation of any Term SOFR Loans denominated in Dollars and

the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not

to permit such continuation, such Term SOFR Loans shall be automatically converted on the last day of

the current Interest Period into Base Rate Loans.  If upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect

of Term SOFR Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable thereto as

provided in clause (a), the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Borrowing of Term

-93-

SOFR Loans into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, effective as of the expiration date of such current

Interest Period.

2.7Pro Rata Borrowings.  Each Borrowing of Initial Term Loans under this Agreement shall

be made by the Lenders pro rataon the basis of their then-applicable Initial Term Loan Commitments.

Each Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders pro rata

on the basis of their then-applicable Applicable Percentages.  Each Borrowing of New Term Loans under

this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders pro rataon the basis of their then-applicable New Term

Loan Commitments.  Each Borrowing of Incremental Revolving Credit Loans under this Agreement shall

be made by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable Incremental Revolving Credit

Commitments.  It is understood that (a) no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other

Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender severally but not jointly shall be

obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other

Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder and (b) other than as expressly provided herein with respect

to a Defaulting Lender, failure by a Lender to perform any of its obligations under any of the Credit

Documents shall not release any Person from performance of its obligation, under any Credit Document.

2.8Interest.

(a)The unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest from the date of

the Borrowing thereof until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annumthat shall

at all times be the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans plusthe Base Rate, in each case, in effect from

time to time.

(b)The unpaid principal amount of each Term SOFR Loan shall bear interest from the date

of the Borrowing thereof until maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum

that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin for Term SOFR Loans plusTerm SOFR for the applicable

Interest Period.

(c)To the extent that any calculation of interest or any fee required to be paid under this

Agreement shall be based on (or result in) a calculation that is less than 0.00%, such calculation shall be

deemed 0.00% for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing

clauses (a)and (b), if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereto (but after giving

effect to any grace period set forth therein), if all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan or

(ii) any interest payable thereon or any other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due

(whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall be payable on

demand and bear interest at a rate per annum(the “Default Rate”) that is (x) in the case of overdue

principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus2.00% per annum or (y) in the case of

any other overdue amount, including overdue interest, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate

described in Section 2.8(a)for the applicable Class plus2.00% per annum from the date of such non-

payment to the date on which such amount is paid in full.

(d)Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but

excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable in Dollars; providedthat any Loan that

is repaid on the same date on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.  Interest on each Loan shall

be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as

may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof

before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any

proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law.

(e)All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 5.5.

-94-

(f)The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of Term

SOFR Loans, shall promptly notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders thereof.  Each such

determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

(g)With respect to SOFR or Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the

Borrower, will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding

anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such

Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to

this Agreement or any other Credit Document; providedthat, with respect to any such amendment

effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming

Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

2.9Interest Periods.  At the time the Borrower gives a Loan Notice in respect of the making

of, or conversion into or continuation as, a Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans, the Borrower shall give the

Administrative Agent written notice of the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest

Period shall be (i) determined in accordance with the definition thereof or (ii) a shortened Interest Period

acceptable to the Administrative Agent as necessary to synchronize the Interest Periods of the Loan.

2.10Increased Costs, Illegality, Etc.

(a)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 or the Letter of Credit Issuer;

(ii)subject any 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) Connection Income

Taxes) 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 Letter of Credit Issuer any other condition, cost or

expense affecting this Agreement or Term SOFR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or

participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting

to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) the

interest on which is determined by reference to Term SOFR, or to increase the cost (in any material

respect) to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter

of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce

the amount (in any material respect) of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Letter of

Credit Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, within fifteen (15)

Business Days after written request of such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Borrower will pay to

such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will

compensate such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs

incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)If any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting

such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the

Letter of Credit Issuer’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 or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s capital or on

-95-

the capital of such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of

this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of

Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Letter of Credit

Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or the

Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into

consideration such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or

the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time

the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, such additional

amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or the

Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)A certificate of a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer setting forth the amount or

amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or its holding company, as

the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.10and delivered to the Borrower shall

be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as

the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt

thereof.

(d)Failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, any such Lender or the Letter of

Credit Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10shall not constitute a waiver of  such

Person’s right to demand such compensation; providedthat the Credit Parties shall not be required to

compensate the Administrative Agent or such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section

2.10for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date

that the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any such Lender notifies the Credit Parties of

the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Administrative Agent’s, the Letter of

Credit Issuer’s or such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the event giving

rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above

shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e)If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental

Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Lending Office to make, maintain or fund

or charge interest with respect to any credit extension, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon

SOFR or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the

Administrative Agent), (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Term SOFR Loans  or to

convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the

illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined

by reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans

of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent

without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies

the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no

longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a

copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term SOFR Loans of such Lender

to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid

such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR

component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may

lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may

not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans and (B) if such notice asserts the illegality of

such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall

during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference

to the Term SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender

that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR. Upon

-96-

any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so

prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.11.

2.11Compensation.  If (a) any payment of principal of any Term SOFR Loan is made by the

Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Term

SOFR Loan as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant to Sections 2.5, 2.6, 2.10, 5.1, 5.2or 13.7, as

a result of acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 11or for any other reason, (b) any

Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans is not made as a result of a withdrawn Loan Notice or a failure to satisfy

borrowing conditions, (c) any Base Rate Loan is not converted into a Term SOFR Loan as a result of a

withdrawn Loan Notice, (d) any Term SOFR Loan is not continued as a Term SOFR Loan, as the case

may be, as a result of a withdrawn Loan Notice or (e) any prepayment of principal of any Term SOFR

Loan is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant to Sections 5.1or 5.2, the

Borrower shall, after receipt of a written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in

reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the

account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs

or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert, failure

to continue or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits)

actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any

Lender to fund or maintain such Term SOFR Loan.  A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or

amounts necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in this Section 2.11and setting forth in

reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined shall be delivered to the

Borrower and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.  The obligations of the Borrower under this

Section 2.11shall survive the payment in full of the Loans and the termination of this Agreement.

2.12Change of Lending Office.  Each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer agrees that, upon

the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Sections 2.10(a), 2.10(b), 2.10(e)or 5.4with

respect to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable

efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its

rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such

Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce

amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.10(a), 2.10(b), 2.10(e)or 5.4, as the case may be, and (ii) in each

case, would not subject such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, to any

unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the Letter of

Credit Issuer, as the case may be. The Borrower hereby agrees to payall reasonable costs and expenses

incurred by any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with any such designation or

assignment.

2.13Notice of Certain Costs.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to

the extent any notice required by Sections 2.11or 5.4is given by any Lender more than 120 days after

such Lender has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of the occurrence of the event giving rise to

the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss or other additional amounts described in such Sections,

such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under Sections 2.11or 5.4, as the case may be, for any

such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the 121st day prior to the giving of such notice to the

Borrower.

2.14Incremental Facilities.

(a)The Borrower may, by written notice to Administrative Agent, elect to request the

establishment of one or more (x) additional tranches of term loans (“Additional Term Loans”) or

increases in Term Loans of any Class (“Term Loan Increases”, the commitments thereto and to

Additional Term Loans, the “New Term Loan Commitments”) and (y) increases in Revolving Credit

-97-

Commitments of any Class (the “New Revolving Credit Commitments” and such New Revolving

Credit Commitments, the “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments”; the Incremental Revolving

Credit Commitments, together with the New Term Loan Commitments, the “New Loan

Commitments”), by an aggregate amount not in excess of the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount

in the aggregate and not less than $10,000,000 individually (or such lesser amount as (x) may be

approved by the Administrative Agent or (y) shall constitute the difference between the Maximum

Incremental Facilities Amount and all such New Loan Commitments obtained on or prior to such date).

The Borrower may approach any Lender or any Eligible Assignee to provide all or a portion of the New

Loan Commitments, subject, if applicable, to the proviso to Section 2.14(b); providedthat any Lender

offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the New Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in

its sole discretion, to provide a New Loan Commitment.  In each case, on each applicable Increased

Amount Date (subject to Section 1.12), such New Loan Commitments shall be subject to (i) no Event of

Default (provided that, in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, no Event of Default shall

exist on the LCT Test Date and no Specified Event of Default shall exist on the date such New Loan

Commitments are funded) shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such

New Loan Commitments, as applicable, (ii)after giving effect to the incurrence of any such Incremental

Facility (assuming the full amount thereof is drawn) and after giving effect to any acquisition

consummated in connection therewith and all other permitted pro forma adjustments (but excluding the

cash proceeds of any Incremental Facilities), the Borrower shall be in Pro Forma Compliance with the

Financial Covenants; providedthat, to the extent the proceeds of an Incremental Facility will be used to

finance a Limited Condition Transaction, such Financial Covenants may (at the election of the Borrower)

all be tested as of LCT Test Date, (iii) the New Loan Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or

more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower (a copy of which shall be provided to

the Administrative Agent), and each of which shall be recorded in the Register and shall be subject to the

requirements set forth in Section 5.4(e), and (iv) the Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant

to Section 2.11in connection with the New Loan Commitments, as applicable.  No Lender shall have any

obligation to provide any Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14(a).  Any New Term Loans shall, at

the election of the Borrower and agreed to by Lenders providing such New Term Loan Commitments, be

designated as (a) a separate series (a “Series”) of New Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement or

(b) as part of a Series of existing Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement.

(b)On any Increased Amount Date on which Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments

are effected, each of the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class shall assign to each

Lender with a New Revolving Credit Commitment (each, a “New Revolving Loan Lender”) and each of

the New Revolving Loan Lenders shall purchase from each of the Lenders with Revolving Credit

Commitments of such Class, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Credit Loans

outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all

such assignments and purchases, the Revolving Credit Loans of such Class will be held by existing

Revolving Credit Lenders and New Revolving Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving

Credit Commitments of such Class after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Credit

Commitments to the Revolving Credit Commitments (i) each Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment

shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Credit Commitment, and each Loan made under a New

Revolving Credit Commitment (a “New Revolving Credit Loan” and collectively, the “Incremental

Revolving Credit Loans”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Credit Loan and (ii) each New

Revolving Loan Lender shall become a Lender with respect to its Incremental Revolving Credit

Commitment (the “Incremental Revolving Loan Lenders”) and all matters relating thereto; provided

that the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have consented

(not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, denied or delayed) to such New Incremental Revolving

Loan Lender’s providing such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment to the extent such consent, if

any, would be required under Section 13.6(b)for an assignment of Revolving Loans or Revolving Credit

Commitments, as applicable, to such New Revolving Loan Lender.

-98-

(c)New Term Loan Commitments of any Series are effective subject to the satisfaction or

waiver of the foregoing and following terms and conditions: (i) each Lender with a New Term Loan

Commitment (each, a “NewTerm Loan Lender”) of any Series shall make a Loan to the Borrower (a

“NewTerm Loan” and, together with the Incremental Revolving Credit Loans, the “Incremental

Loans”; the Incremental Loans, together with the New Loan Commitments, the “Incremental

Facilities”) in an amount equal to its New Term Loan Commitment of such Series, and (ii) each New

Term Loan Lender of any Series shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the New Term Loan

Commitment of such Series and the New Term Loans of such Series made pursuant thereto.

(d)The terms and provisions of the New Term Loans and New Term Loan Commitments of

any Series shall be on terms and documentation set forth in the Joinder Agreement as determined by the

Borrower; providedthat (x) with respect to a Term Loan Increase, such Term Loan Increase shall be on

the exact same terms other than underwriting, arrangement, structuring, ticking and upfront fees and/or

original issue discount and pursuant to the exact same documentation applicable to the Initial Term Loans

and (y) with respect to any Additional Term Loans (i) except in the case of any Inside Maturity Debt

Exclusion, the applicable New Term Loan Maturity Date of each Series shall be no earlier than the Term

Loan Maturity Date; (ii) except in the case of any Inside Maturity Debt Exclusion, the Weighted Average

Life to Maturity of all Additional Term Loans shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to

maturity of the then existing Initial Term Loans; (iii) the economic terms, voluntary prepayment

provisions and amortization schedule applicable to any Additional Term Loans shall be determined by the

Borrower and the Lenders thereunder; (iv) except as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.14, such terms

and documentation shall be as determined by the Borrower and the providers of the Additional Term

Loans; provided that, to the extent the terms of any Additional Term Loans are not consistent with the

then-existing Initial Term Loans (except as permitted under this Section 2.14), such terms shall be

reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (it being understood that (i) to the extent any financial

maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of any Indebtedness, no consent shall be required by the

Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders if such financial maintenance covenant is also added for the

benefit of any corresponding Initial Term Loans remaining outstanding after the issuance or incurrence of

such Indebtedness and (ii) no consent shall be required by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders

if any covenants or other provisions are only applicable after the Term Loan Maturity Date applicable to

the Initial Term Loans); and (v) any Additional Term Loans shall (A) (x) rank pari passu in right of

payment with the Obligations and (y) be secured on a pari passu basis with, and by the same Collateral as,

the Obligations, (B) not be guaranteed by entities other than the Guarantors and (C) to the extent secured

on a junior basis, be subject to an Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor arrangements

in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; and (vi) no

Affiliated Lender shall be a lender under any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments or Incremental

Revolving Credit Loans and Affiliated Lenders providing any portion of any Additional Term Loans or

Term Loan Increases shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 13.6(h) as if the provision of

such Additional Term Loans or Term Loan Increases were an assignment of such Loans to such Affiliated

Lender. The terms and provisions of any New Revolving Credit Commitments and the related New

Revolving Credit Loans shall be identical to the Class of Commitments and related Revolving Loans

subject to increase by such New Revolving Credit Commitments and New Revolving Credit Loans;

provided, that underwriting, arrangement, structuring, ticking, upfront or similar fees, and other fees

payable in connection therewith that may be agreed to among the Borrower and the lender(s) providing

and/or arranging such New Revolving Credit Commitments may be paid in connection with such New

Revolving Credit Commitments.

(e)Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments and Incremental Revolving Credit Loans

shall be on the exact same terms and pursuant to the exact same documentation applicable to the class of

Commitments and related Revolving Loans.

-99-

(f)Each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect technical

and corresponding amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary

or appropriate, in the opinion of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to effect the provision of this

Section 2.14.

(g)(i) The Borrower may at any time, and from time to time, request that all or a

portion of the Term Loans of any Class (an “Existing Term Loan Class”) be converted to extend the

scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal

amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term

Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.14(g).  In order to establish any

Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall

provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Term LoanClass which

such request shall be offered equally to all such Lenders) (a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting

forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall not be materially

more restrictive to the Credit Parties (as determined in good faith by the Borrower), when taken as a

whole, than the terms of the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class unless (x) the Lenders of the

Term Loans of such applicable Existing Term Loan Class receive the benefit of such more restrictive

terms or (y) any such provisions apply after the Term Loan Maturity Date (a “Permitted Other

Provision”); provided, however, that (x) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended (other than

with respect to customary bridge loans) and all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of

principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization of

principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class (with any such delay resulting in a

corresponding adjustment to the scheduled amortization payments reflected in Section 2.5or in the

Joinder Agreement, as the case may be, with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class from which such

Extended Term Loans were converted, in each case as more particularly set forth in paragraph (iv) of this

Section 2.14(g)below), (y) (A) pricing, fees, optional prepayment or redemption terms shall be

determined in good faith by the Borrower and the interest margins with respect to the Extended Term

Loans may be higher or lower than the interest margins for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan

Class and/or (B) additional fees, premiums or applicable high-yield discount obligation payments may be

payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to or in lieu of any increased

margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable

Extension Amendment and to the extent that any Permitted Other Provision (including a financial

maintenance covenant) is added for the benefit of any such Indebtedness, no consent shall be required by

the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders if such Permitted Other Provision is also added for the

benefit of any corresponding Loans remaining outstanding after the issuance or incurrence of such

Indebtedness or if such Permitted Other Provision applies only after the Term Loan Maturity Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14or otherwise, no Extended Term Loans may

be optionally prepaid prior to the date on which the Existing Term Loan Class from which they were

converted is repaid in full.  No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of

any Existing Term Loan Class converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Extension Request.

Any Extended Term Loans of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from

the Existing Term Loan Class from which they were converted.

(ii)The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion

of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class, any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and/or

any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, each existing at the time of such request (each, an

“Existing Revolving Credit Commitment” and any related revolving credit loans thereunder, “Existing

Revolving Credit Loans”; each Existing Revolving Credit Commitment and related Existing Revolving

Credit Loans together being referred to as an “Existing Revolving Credit Class”) be converted to extend

the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect

to all or a portion of any principal amount of Loans related to such Existing Revolving Credit

-100-

Commitments (any such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments which have been so extended,

“Extended Revolving Credit Commitments” and any related Loans, “Extended Revolving Credit

Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.14(g).  In order to establish any

Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative

Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Class of Existing

Revolving Credit Commitments which such request shall be offered equally to all such Lenders) setting

forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments to be established, which shall

either, at the option of the Borrower, (A) reflect market terms and conditions (taken as a whole) at the

time of incurrence or issuance (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) or (B) if not consistent with

the terms of the applicable Existing Term Loan Class, shall either, at the option of the Borrower, (A)

reflect market terms and conditions (taken as a whole) at the time of incurrence or issuance (as

determined in good faith by the Borrower) or (B) if not consistent with the terms of the applicable

Existing Term Loan Class, shall not be materially more restrictive to the Credit Parties (as determined in

good faith by the Borrower), when taken as a whole, than the terms of the applicable Existing Revolving

Credit Commitments (the “Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment”) unless (x) the Lenders

providing Existing Revolving Credit Loans receive the benefit of such more restrictive terms or (y) any

such provisions apply after the Revolving Credit Termination Date, in each case, to the extent provided in

the applicable Extension Amendment; provided, however, that (w) all or any of the final maturity dates of

such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates

of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments, (x) (A) the interest margins with respect to the

Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be higher or lower than the interest margins for the

Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and/or (B) additional fees and premiums may be

payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in addition to or in lieu

of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A)and (y) the Revolving Credit

Commitment fee rate with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be higher or

lower than the Revolving Credit Commitment fee rate for the Specified Existing Revolving Credit

Commitment; providedthat, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14(g)or otherwise,

(1) the borrowing and repayment (other than in connection with a permanent repayment and termination

of commitments) of Loans with respect to any Original Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on

a pro rata basis with all other Original Revolving Credit Commitments and (2) assignments and

participations of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Revolving Credit Loans shall be

governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Credit

Commitments and the Revolving Credit Loans related to such Commitments set forth in Section 13.6.  No

Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit

Commitments of any Existing Revolving Credit Class converted into Extended Revolving Credit Loans

or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to any Extension Request.  Any Extended

Revolving Credit Commitments of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of revolving

credit commitments from the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and from any other

Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (together with any other Extended Revolving Credit

Commitments so established on such date).

(iii)Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its

Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment or Extended

Revolving Credit Commitment of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to such Extension

Request converted into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable,

shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such

Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments, Incremental

Revolving Credit Commitment or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment of the Existing Class or

Existing Classes subject to such Extension Request that it has elected to convert into Extended Term

Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable.  In the event that the aggregate amount

of Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment or Extended

-101-

Revolving Credit Commitment of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to Extension Elections

exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable,

requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, Incremental

Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of the Existing Class or

Existing Classes subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Term Loans or Extended

Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans,

Revolving Credit Commitments, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment or Extended Revolving

Credit Commitment included in each such Extension Election.  Notwithstanding the conversion of any

Existing Revolving Credit Commitment into an Extended Revolving Credit Commitment, such Extended

Revolving Credit Commitment shall be treated identically to all other Original Revolving Credit

Commitments for purposes of the obligations of a Revolving Credit Lender in respect of Swingline Loans

under Section 2.1 and Letters of Credit under Section 3, except that the applicable Extension Amendment

may provide that the Swingline Maturity Date and/or the L/C Facility Maturity Date may be extended and

the related obligations tomake Swingline Loans and issue Letters of Credit may be continued so long as

Swingline Lender and/or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, have consented to such extensions in

their sole discretion (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender shall be required in

connection with any such extension).

(iv)Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as

applicable, shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this

Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this

Section 2.14(g)(iv)and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 13.1, shall not

require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Term

Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, established thereby) executed by the

Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders.  No Extension Amendment shall

provide for any tranche of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in an

aggregate principal amount that is less than $5,000,000.  In addition to any terms and changes required or

permitted by Section 2.14(g)(i)or 2.14(g)(ii), each Extension Amendment (x) shall amend the scheduled

amortization payments pursuant to Section 2.5or the applicable Joinder Agreement with respect to the

Existing Term Loan Class from which the Extended Term Loans were converted to reduce each

scheduled Repayment Amount for the Existing Term Loan Class in the same proportion as the amount of

Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class is to be converted pursuant to such Extension Amendment

(it being understood that the amount of any Repayment Amount payable with respect to any individual

Term Loan of such Existing Term Loan Class that is not an Extended Term Loan shall not be reduced as a

result thereof) and (y) may, but shall not be required to, impose additional requirements (not inconsistent

with the provisions of this Agreement in effect at such time) with respect to the final maturity and

weighted average life to maturity of New Term Loans incurred following the date of such Extension

Amendment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14(g)and without limiting the

generality or applicability of Section 13.1to any Section 2.14 Additional Amendments, any Extension

Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to

or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a “Section 2.14 Additional Amendment”) to

this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; providedthat such Section 2.14 Additional Amendments

are within the requirements of Section 2.14(g)(i)and do not become effective prior to the time that such

Section 2.14 Additional Amendments have been consented to (including, without limitation, pursuant to

(1) consents applicable to holders of New Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments

provided for in any Joinder Agreement and (2) consents applicable to holders of any Extended Term

Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such

of the Lenders, Credit Parties and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.14

Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance with Section 13.1. Notwithstanding anything

in this Section 2.14(g)to the contrary, no Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Credit Loans shall

-102-

be incurred or guaranteed by any Person that is not a Credit Party or secured by any property that is not

Collateral.

(v)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) on

any date on which any Existing Class is converted to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in

accordance with clauses (i)and/or (ii)above (an “Extension Date”), (I) in the case of the existing Term

Loans of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such existing Term Loans shall be

deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Loans so

converted by such Lender on such date, and the Extended Term Loans shall be established as a separate

Class of Term Loans (together with any other Extended Term Loans so established on such date), and (II)

in the case of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments of each Extending Lender, the

aggregate principal amount of such Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments shall be deemed

reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Revolving Credit

Commitments so converted by such Lender on such date, and such Extended Revolving Credit

Commitments shall be established as a separate Class of revolving credit commitments from the Specified

Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and from any other Existing Revolving Credit Commitments

(together with any other Extended Revolving Credit Commitments so established on such date) and (B) if,

on any Extension Date, any Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under the applicable

Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments, such Loans (and any related participations) shall be

deemed to be allocated as Extended Revolving Credit Loans (and related participations) and Existing

Revolving Credit Loans (and related participations) in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s

Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments.

(vi)The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the consummation

of the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.14(including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of

any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit

Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Amendment) and hereby waive

the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any pro rata payment

or amendment section) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit or restrict any such

extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.14.

2.15Permitted Debt Exchanges.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, pursuant to one or

more offers (each, a “Permitted Debt Exchange Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all

Lenders of a given Class, the Borrower may from time to time following the Closing Date consummate

one or more exchanges of Term Loans for Permitted Other Indebtedness in the form of notes (such notes,

“Permitted Debt Exchange Notes,” andeach such exchange a “Permitted Debt Exchange”), so long as

the following conditions are satisfied: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the

time the final offering document in respect of a Permitted Debt Exchange Offer is delivered to the

relevant Lenders, (ii) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Term

Loans exchanged shall equal no more than the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount

thereof) of Permitted Debt Exchange Notes issued in exchange for such Term Loans; providedthat the

aggregate principal amount of the Permitted Debt Exchange Notes may include accrued interest and

premium (if any) under the Term Loans exchanged and underwriting discounts, fees, commissions and

expenses in connection with the issuance of such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes, (iii) the aggregate

principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans exchanged under each

applicable Class by the Borrower pursuant to any Permitted Debt Exchange shall automatically be

cancelled and retired by the Borrower on the date of the settlement thereof (and, if requested by the

Administrative Agent, any applicable exchanging Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative

Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, or such other form as may be reasonably requested by the

-103-

Administrative Agent, in respect thereof pursuant to which the respective Lender assigns its interest in the

Term Loans being exchanged pursuant to the Permitted Debt Exchange to the Borrower for immediate

cancellation), (iv) if the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans of a given Class (calculated on the

face amount thereof) tendered by Lenders in respect of the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer (with

no Lender being permitted to tender a principal amount of Term Loans which exceeds the principal

amount thereof of the applicable Class actually held by it) shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal

amount of Term Loans of such Class offered to be exchanged by the Borrower pursuant to such Permitted

Debt Exchange Offer, then the Borrower shall exchange Term Loans subject to such Permitted Debt

Exchange Offer tendered by such Lenders ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective

principal amounts so tendered, (v) all documentation in respect of such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be

consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications generally directed to the Lenders in

connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing and made in

consultation with the Borrower and the Auction Agent, and (vi) any applicable Minimum Tender

Condition shall be satisfied.

(b)With respect to all Permitted Debt Exchanges effected by the Borrower pursuant to this

Section 2.15, (i) such Permitted Debt Exchanges (and the cancellation of the exchanged Term Loans in

connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes

of Section 5.1or 5.2, and (ii) such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall be made for not less than

$10,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may approve) in aggregate principal

amount of Term Loans; providedthat, subject to the foregoing clause (ii), the Borrower may at its

election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Tender Condition”) to consummating any such Permitted

Debt Exchange that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Permitted Debt

Exchange Offer in the Borrower’s discretion) of Term Loans of any or all applicable Classes be tendered.

(c)In connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, the Borrower and the Auction Agent

shall mutually agree to such procedures as may be necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of

this Section 2.15and without conflict with Section 2.15(d); providedthat the terms of any Permitted Debt

Exchange Offer shall provide that the date by which the relevant Lenders are required to indicate their

election to participate in such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be not less than a reasonable period (in the

discretion of the Borrower and the Auction Agent) of time following the date on which the Permitted

Debt Exchange Offer is made.

(d)The Borrower shall be responsible for compliance with, and hereby agrees to comply

with, all applicable securities and other laws in connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, it being

understood and agreed that (x) none of the Auction Agent, the Administrative Agent nor any Lender

assumes any responsibility in connection with the Borrower’s compliance with such laws in connection

with any Permitted Debt Exchange and (y) each Lender shall be solely responsible for its compliance with

any applicable “insider trading” laws and regulations to which such Lender may be subject under the

Securities Exchange Act.

2.16Defaulting Lenders.

(a)Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if

any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting

Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law:

(i)Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or

disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set

forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 13.1.

-104-

(ii)Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other

amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether

voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 11or otherwise) or received by the

Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.8shall be applied at such time or

times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:  first, to the payment of any amounts

owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro

rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline

Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with

respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 3.8; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so

long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such

Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by

the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be

held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential

future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the

Letter of Credit Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to

future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 3.8; sixth, to the

payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower, the Lenders, the Swingline Lender or the Letter of Credit

Issuer as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower, any

Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer against such Defaulting Lender as a result of

such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to such Defaulting

Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; providedthat if (x) such payment is

a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting

Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of

Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7were satisfied or waived, such

payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting

Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, and L/C Obligations

owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in

L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the

Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv).  Any payments, prepayments or

other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a

Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16(a)(ii)shall be deemed paid to

and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)Certain Fees.

(A)No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under

Section 4for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be

required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting

Lender).

(B)Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees

for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its

applicable percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral

pursuant to Section 3.8.

(C)With respect to any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any

Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting

Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such

Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting

Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer the amount of any such fee

-105-

otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Letter of Credit’s Fronting

Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv)Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or any

part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be

reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable

Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent

that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting

Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.  Subject to Section 13.23,no reallocation

hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting

Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-

Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such

reallocation.

(v)Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans.  If the reallocation described in

clause (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall (x) first, prepay

Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash

Collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth

in Section 3.8.

(b)Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline

Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the

Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in

such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect

to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of

outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may

determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Loans and funded and unfunded participations in

Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with

their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will

cease to be a Defaulting Lender; providedthat no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to

fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting

Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties,

no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of

any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c)So long as any Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender

shall notbe required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting

Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be

required to issue, extend, increase, reinstate or renew any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will

have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

2.17Additional Borrowers

(a)The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, designate any Guarantor (other

than Holdings) organized in a State of the United States of America or the District of Columbia to be an

Additional Borrower by having such Additional Borrower execute a Borrower Joinder Agreement and

provide the Administrative Agent and each Lender with all reasonably requested documentation and other

information (which, in the case of each Lender, shall be requested through the Administrative Agent)

regarding the Additional Borrower requested in connection with applicable “know your customer” and

anti-money laundering rules and regulations and, to the extent the Additional Borrower qualifies as a

“legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, Beneficial Ownership Certifications,

“Borrower” under the applicable Credit Facility for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit

Documents and will have the right to directly request Loans in accordance with Article II hereof.  The

Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to amend this Agreement and the other Credit

Documents to reflect the existence of more than one Borrower hereunder and thereunder.  For the

avoidance of doubt, the designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Additional Borrower as a Borrower

shall not constitute or result in the release of such Restricted Subsidiary as a Guarantor.

(b)The Borrower may, for accounting, tax or other purposes, designate any portion of any

Loan under a Credit Facility with one or more Additional Borrowers to be incurred by the Borrower or

one or more of such Additional Borrowers; provided that this Section 2.17(b)shall in no way limit the

obligations of such Additional Borrower under the Guarantee.

(c)At any time and from time to time, an Additional Borrower may resign as a Borrower

under any Credit Facility, so long as after such resignation, the Borrower remains a Borrower under such

Credit Facility or concurrently with such resignation, all Loans under such Credit Facility shall be repaid

in full and all Commitments thereunder shall be terminated.  For the avoidance of doubt, the resignation

of  Restricted Subsidiary as an Additional Borrower as a Borrower shall not constitute or result in the

release of such Restricted Subsidiary as a Guarantor;

(d)Each Guarantor that is or becomes an “Additional Borrower” pursuant to this

Section 2.17hereby irrevocably appoints the Borrower to act as its agent for all purposes of this

Agreement and the other Credit Documents and agrees that (i) the Borrower may execute such documents

on behalf of such Additional Borrower as the Borrower deems appropriate in its sole discretion and each

Additional Borrower shall be obligated by all of the terms of any such document executed on its behalf,

(ii) any notice or communication delivered by the Administrative Agent or the Lender to the Borrower

shall be deemed delivered to each Additional Borrower and (iii) the Administrative Agent or the Lenders

may accept, and be permitted to rely on, any document, instrument or agreement executed by the

Borrower on behalf of each of the Credit Parties.

proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(g)The Letter of Credit Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with

date of issuance or amendment of the Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in

Section 6(solely with respect to any Letter of Credit issued on the Closing Date) or Section 7shall not

then be satisfied to the extent required thereby, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Letter

of Credit Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or,

so long as the Borrower are the primary obligors, for the account of the Borrower or a Restricted

Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with

each such Letter of Credit Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.

-109-

(d)If the Borrower so requests in any Letter of Credit Request, the Letter of Credit Issuer

shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension

Letter of Credit”); providedthat any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Letter of

Credit Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with

the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof and the

Borrower not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to

be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by the Letter of

Credit Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Letter of Credit Issuer

for any such extension.  Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be

deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Letter of Credit Issuer to permit the extension of

such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the L/C Facility Maturity Date, unless

otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer; provided, however,

that the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the Letter of Credit Issuer has

reasonably determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue

such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions

of Section 3.1(b)or otherwise), or (B) it has received written notice on or before the day that is seven

Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the

Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 7are not then satisfied, and in

each such case directing the Letter of Credit Issuer not to permit such extension.

(e)Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit

to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Letter of Credit Issuer will also

deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or

amendment.  On the first Business Day of each month, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall provide the

Administrative Agent a list of all Letters of Credit issued by it that are outstanding at such time.

(f)The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and

warranty by the Borrower that the Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate

the requirements of, Section 3.1(b).

3.3Letter of Credit Participations.

(a)Immediately upon the issuance by the Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit, the

Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Revolving Credit Lender

(such Revolving Credit Lender referred to in its capacity under this Section 3.3, an “L/C Participant”),

and each such L/C Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and

received from the Letter of Credit Issuer without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and

participation (each an “L/C Participation”), to the extent of such L/C Participant’s Applicable

Percentage in each Letter of Credit, each substitute therefor, each drawing made thereunder and the

obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or

guaranty pertaining thereto; provided that the Letter of Credit Fees will be paid directly to the

Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the L/C Participants as provided in Section 4.1(b) and the

L/C Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any Fronting Fees.

(b)In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall

have no obligation relative to the L/C Participants other than to confirm that any documents required to be

delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face

with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.  Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Letter of

Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it, if taken or omitted in the

absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of

a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not create for the Letter of Credit Issuer any resulting liability.  In

furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with

respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of

a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment

upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or

information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such

documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit, and any such acceptance or

refusal shall be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct.

-110-

(c)In the event that the Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit

issued by it and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount in full to the Letter of Credit Issuer

through the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.4(a), the Administrative Agent shall promptly

notify each L/C Participant of such failure, and each L/C Participant shall promptly and unconditionally

pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the amount of such L/C

Participant’s Applicable Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in immediately

available funds.  If and to the extent such L/C Participant shall not have so made its Applicable

Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the

Letter of Credit Issuer, such L/C Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of

the Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon for each day

from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter

of Credit Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time then in effect, plus any

administrative, processing or similar fees that are reasonably and customarily charged by the Letter of

Credit Issuer in connection with the foregoing.  The failure of any L/C Participant to make available to

the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Applicable Percentage of any

payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other L/C Participant of its obligation hereunder

to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Applicable

Percentage of any payment under such Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no L/

C Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other L/C Participant to make available to the

Administrative Agent such other L/C Participant’s Applicable Percentage of any such payment.

(d)Whenever the Administrative Agent receives a payment in respect of an unpaid

reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of the Letter

of Credit Issuer any payments from the L/C Participants pursuant to clause (c)above, the Administrative

Agent shall promptly pay to each L/C Participant that has paid its Applicable Percentage of such

reimbursement obligation, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such L/C

Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such L/C

Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all L/C Participants) of the amount so paid in respect of

such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective L/C

Participations at the Overnight Rate.

(e)The obligations of the L/C Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for

the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not

subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and

shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances.

(f)If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of

Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 3.3(c)is required to be returned, each Lender shall pay to the

Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on

demand of the Administrative Agent, plusinterest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such

amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time

to time in effect.  The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the

Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

3.4Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.

(a)The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer, by making payment

with respect to any drawing under any Letter of Credit in the same currency in which such drawing was

made unless the Letter of Credit Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in the notice of drawing that it

will require reimbursement in Dollars.  Any such reimbursement shall be made by the Borrower to the

Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for any payment or disbursement made by the Letter

of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, an “Unpaid

Drawing”) no later than the date that is one Business Day after the date on which the Borrower receives

written notice of such payment or disbursement (the “Reimbursement Date”), with interest on the

amount so paid or disbursed by the Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 5:00 p.m.

(New York City time) on the Reimbursement Date, from the date of such payment or disbursement to the

date the Letter of Credit Issuer is reimbursed, as applicable, therefor at a rate per annum that shall at all

times be the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans plus the Base Rate

-111-

as in effect from time to time, provided that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the

contrary, (i) unless the Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent and the  Letter of Credit Issuer

prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Reimbursement Date that the Borrower intends to

reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of

Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a Loan Notice requesting that, with respect to Letters

of Credit, the Revolving Credit Lenders make Revolving Credit Loans (which shall be denominated in

Dollars and which shall be Base Rate Loans) on the Reimbursement Date in the amount of such drawing

and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each L/C Participant of such drawing and the

amount of its Revolving Credit Loan to be made in respect thereof, and each L/C Participant shall be

irrevocably obligated to make a Revolving Credit Loan to the Borrower in Dollars in the manner deemed

to have been requested in the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Unpaid Drawing by

1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Reimbursement Date by making the amount of such Revolving

Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent.  Such Revolving Credit Loans shall be made without

regard to the Minimum Borrowing Amount.  The Administrative Agent shall use the proceeds of such

Revolving Credit Loans solely for purpose of reimbursing the Letter of Credit Issuer for the related

Unpaid Drawing.  In the event that the Borrower fails to Cash Collateralize any Letter of Credit that is

outstanding on the L/C Facility Maturity Date, the full amount of the L/C Obligations in respect of such

Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an Unpaid Drawing subject to the provisions of this Section 3.4

except that the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall hold the proceeds

received from the L/C Participants as contemplated above as cash collateral for such Letter of Credit to

reimburse any Unpaid Drawing under such Letter of Credit and shall use such proceeds first, to reimburse

itself for any Unpaid Drawings made in respect of such Letter of Credit following the L/C Facility

Maturity Date, second, to the extent such Letter of Credit expires or is returned undrawn while any such

cash collateral remains, to the repayment of obligations in respect of any Revolving Credit Loans that

have not been paid at such time and third, to the Borrower or as otherwise directed by a court of

competent jurisdiction.  Nothing in this Section 3.4(a) shall affect the Borrower’s obligation to repay all

outstanding Revolving Credit Loans when due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b)The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for each drawing

under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and

irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all

circumstances, including the following:

(i)any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit

Documents;

(ii)the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may

have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit

(or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Letter of

Credit Issuer, any Lender or other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of

Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying

transaction between the Borrower and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

(iii)any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of

Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein

being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any

document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv)waiver by the Letter of Credit Issuer of any requirement that exists for the Letter

of Credit Issuer’s protection and not the protection of the Borrower (or other Restricted Subsidiary) or any

waiver by the Letter of Credit Issuer which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrower (or the

Borrower or other Restricted Subsidiary);

(v)any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer in respect of an otherwise

complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which

-112-

documents must be received under, such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by

the Uniform Commercial Code, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable;

(vi)any payment by the Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit against

presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

or any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting

to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator,

receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of

Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code;

(vii)honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of

Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft;

(viii)any adverse change in any relevant exchange rates or in the relevant currency

markets generally; or

(ix)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of

the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or

a discharge of, the Borrower (or other Restricted Subsidiary) (other than the defense of payment or

performance).

(c)The Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for any

wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under the Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of

acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit

Issuer as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

3.5[Reserved].

3.6New or Successor Letter of Credit Issuer.

(a)The Letter of Credit Issuer may resign as the Letter of Credit Issuer upon 60 days’ prior

written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower.  The Borrower may replace

any Letter of Credit Issuer for any reason upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Letter

of Credit Issuer.  The Borrower may add Letter of Credit Issuers at any time upon notice to the

Administrative Agent.  If the Letter of Credit Issuer shall resign or be replaced, or if the Borrower shall

decide to add a new Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement, then the Borrower may appoint from

among the Lenders a successor issuer of Letters of Credit or a new Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may

be, or, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or

delayed), another successor or new issuer of Letters of Credit, whereupon such successor issuer accepting

such appointment shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the replaced or resigning Letter of

Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, or such new issuer of Letters of

Credit accepting such appointment shall be granted the rights, powers and duties of the Letter of Credit

Issuer hereunder, and the term Letter of Credit Issuer shall mean such successor or such new issuer of

Letters of Credit effective upon such appointment.  At the time such resignation or replacement shall

become effective, the Borrower shall pay to the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer all accrued

and unpaid fees applicable to the Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 4.1(b)and 4.1(d).  The acceptance

of any appointment as the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder whether as a successor issuer or new issuer of

Letters of Credit in accordance with this Agreement, shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by

such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and

the Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, such new or successor

issuer of Letters of Credit shall become the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder.  After the resignation or

replacement of the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer shall

remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Letter of Credit Issuer

under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior

-113-

to such resignation or replacement but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.  In

connection with any resignation or replacement pursuant to this clause (a)(but, in case of any such

resignation, only to the extent that a successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have been appointed),

either (i) the Borrower, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor issuer of Letters

of Credit shall arrange to have any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Letter

of Credit Issuer replaced with Letters of Credit issued by the successor issuer of Letters of Credit or

(ii) the Borrower shall cause the successor issuer of Letters of Credit, if such successor issuer is

reasonably satisfactory to the replaced or resigning Letter of Credit Issuer, to issue “back-stop” Letters of

Credit naming the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer as beneficiary for each outstanding Letter

of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer, which new Letters of Credit shall be

denominated in the same currency as, and shall have a face amount equal to, the Letters of Credit being

back-stopped and the sole requirement for drawing on such new Letters of Credit shall be a drawing on

the corresponding back-stopped Letters of Credit.  After any resigning or replaced Letter of Credit

Issuer’s resignation or replacement as Letter of Credit Issuer, the provisions of this Agreement relating to

the Letter of Credit Issuer shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it (A)

while it was the Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement or (B) at any time with respect to Letters of

Credit issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer.

(b)To the extent there are, at the time of any resignation or replacement as set forth in clause

(a)above, any outstanding Letters of Credit, nothing herein shall be deemed to impact or impair any

rights and obligations of any of the parties hereto with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit

(including, without limitation, any obligations related to the payment of Fees or the reimbursement or

funding of amounts drawn), except that the Borrower, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and

the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have the obligations regarding outstanding Letters of Credit

described in clause (a)above.

3.7Role of Letter of Credit Issuer.  Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any

drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any

document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of

Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of

the Person executing or delivering any such document.  None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the

Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of

the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in the absence

of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court

of competent jurisdiction or (ii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any

document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document.  The Borrower hereby

assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any

Letter of Credit; providedthat this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s

pursuit of such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under

any other agreement.  None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their

respective Affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be

liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 3.3(b); providedthat anything in such

Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the Letter of Credit

Issuer, and the Letter of Credit Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent,

of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the

Borrower proves were caused by the Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or

the Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by

the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a

Letter of Credit in each case as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent

jurisdiction.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Issuer may accept

documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation,

regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be

responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to

-114-

transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in

part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

The Letter of Credit Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any Communication to or from

the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) message

or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

3.8Cash Collateral.

(a)Certain Credit Support Events.  Upon the written request of the Administrative Agent or

the Letter of Credit Issuer, if (i) as of the L/C Facility Maturity Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason

remains outstanding, (ii) the Borrower shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to

Section 11.13or (iii) the provisions of Section 2.16(a)(v)are in effect, the Borrower shall immediately (in

the case of clause (ii)above) or within one Business Day (in all other cases), following any written

request by the Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, provide Cash Collateral in an amount

not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount (determined in the case of Cash Collateral

provided pursuant to clause (iii)above, after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)and any Cash Collateral

provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b)Grant of Security Interest.  The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting

Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to (and subject to the control of) the Administrative Agent,

for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Revolving Credit Lenders,

and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances

therein as described in Section 3.8(a), and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and

in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be

applied pursuant to Section 3.8(c).  If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash

Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or the Letter

of Credit Issuer as herein provided, other than Permitted Liens, or that the total amount of such Cash

Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount (including, without limitation, as a result of

exchange rate fluctuations), the Borrower will, promptly upon written demand by the Administrative

Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to

eliminate such deficiency.  Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, interest-bearing deposit

accounts with the Administrative Agent.  The Borrower shall pay on demand therefor from time to time

all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the

maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral.

(c)Application.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,

Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 3.8or Sections 2.16, 5.2or 11.13in respect of Letters

of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, obligations to fund

participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest

accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to

any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(d)Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure

or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable

Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting

Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with

Section 13.6(b)(ii)) or there is no longer existing an Event of Default) or (ii) the determination by the

Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral.

3.9Applicability of ISP and UCP.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Letter of Credit

Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each

standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits,

as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance, shall apply

to each commercial Letter of Credit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not

be responsible to the Borrower for, and the Letter of Credit Issuer’s rights and remedies against the

-115-

Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the Letter of Credit Issuer required or

permitted under any law, order or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of

Credit or this Agreement, including the applicable law or any order of a jurisdiction where the Letter of

Credit Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the

decisions, opinions, practice statements or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the

Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA),

or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not the Letter of Credit Issuer

chooses such law or practice.

3.10Conflict with Issuer Documents.  In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof

and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control and any grant of security interest in

any Issuer Documents shall be void.

3.11Letters of Credit Issued for Restricted Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of

Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, the

Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Letter of Credit

Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit.  The Borrower hereby

acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or any other

Restricted Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower and that the Borrower’s business derives

substantial benefits from the businesses of the Borrower and the other Restricted Subsidiaries.

3.12Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments.  If the Letter of Credit

Expiration Date in respect of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments occurs prior to the expiry

date of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if consented to by the Letter of Credit Issuer which issued such Letter

of Credit, if one or more other tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which the Letter

of Credit Expiration Date shall not have so occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit for which

consent has been obtained shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of

the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving

Credit Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Sections 3.3and 3.4) under (and ratably

participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of such non-

terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of the unutilized

Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount

of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to

immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in

accordance with Section 3.8.  Upon the maturity date of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments,

the sublimit for Letters of Credit may be reduced as agreed between the Letter of Credit Issuer and the

Borrower, without the consent of any other Person.

3.13Letter of Credit Issuer Reports to the Administrative Agent.  Unless otherwise agreed by

the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer (other than the Letter of Credit Issuer that acts as

Administrative Agent) shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section 3,

deliver to the Administrative Agent a report on the dates and containing the details set forth below:

(a)prior to the time that the Letter of Credit Issuer issues, amends, renews, increases or

extends a Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal, increase or extension and the

stated amount of such Letters of Credit after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or

extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed);

(b)on each Business Day on which the Letter of Credit Issuer makes a payment pursuant to a

Letter of Credit, the date and amount of such payment;

-116-

(c)on any Business Day on which the Borrowers fail to reimburse a payment made pursuant

to a Letter of Credit required to be reimbursed to the Letter of Credit Issuer on such day, the date of such

failure and the amount of such payment;

(d)on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall

reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer; and

(e)on the last Business Day of each calendar month, a report of each Letter of Credit issued

by the Letter of Credit Issuer that is issued and outstanding containing the stated amount and expiration

date of such Letter of Credit.

3.14Benefits.  The Letter of Credit Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to

any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the Letter of Credit Issuer

shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in Section 12 with

respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with Letters of

Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of

Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Section 12 included the Letter of Credit

Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the

Letter of Credit Issuer.

Section 4.Fees

4.1Fees.

(a)The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the account of

each Revolving Credit Lender (in each case pro rata according to the respective Revolving Credit

Commitments of all such Lenders), a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) product of (i) the

Commitment Fee Rate times(ii) the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitments of

all Revolving Credit Lenders exceed the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit

Loans and (B) the Letter of Credit Exposure, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.16, for each

day from the Closing Date to the Revolving Credit Termination Date.  Each Commitment Fee shall be

payable (x) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower (for the

quarterly period (or portion thereof) ended on such day for which no payment has been received),

commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and (y) on the Revolving Credit

Termination Date (for the period ended on such date for which no payment has been received pursuant to

clause (x) above), and shall be computed for each day during such period at a rate per annum equal to the

Commitment Fee Rate in effect on such day on the Available Commitment in effect on such day.  For the

avoidance of doubt, the outstanding amount of Swingline Loans shall not be counted towards or

considered usage of the Revolving Credit Facility for purposes of determining the Commitment Fee.

(b)The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account of the

Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective Letter of Credit Exposure, a fee in

respect of each Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) computed at the per annum rate for each day

equal to the Applicable Margin for Term SOFR Revolving Credit Loans times the daily amount available

to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.16.  Except as

provided below, such Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable (x) quarterly in arrears on the last

Business Day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower, commencing with the first such date to occur after

the Closing Date, and (y) on the date upon which L/C Obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit

shall have been reduced to zero (or such Letters of Credit has been Cash Collateralized, “rolled” or

“grandfathered” into a new credit facility or backstopped in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Letter

of Credit Issuer.

(c)Without duplication, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars,

for its own account, administrative agent fees as have been previously agreed in writing or as may be

agreed in writing from time to time.

-117-

(d)Without duplication, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer for its own

account a fronting fee in Dollars equal to 0.125% per annum of the aggregate face amount of each Letter

of Credit outstanding and issued by it to the Borrower (the “Fronting Fee”) (or at such other rate per

annum as agreed in writing between the Borrower and the Letter of Credit Issuer) for the period from the

date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to the termination date of such Letter of Credit (or the date upon

which such Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized, “rolled” or “grandfathered” into a new credit

facility or backstopped in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Letter of Credit Issuer).  Such Fronting

Fees shall be due and payable (x) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter of the

Borrower occurring after the Closing Date and (y) on the date upon which the Total Revolving Credit

Commitment terminates and the L/C Obligations shall have been reduced to zero (or the date upon such

Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized, “rolled” or “grandfathered” into a new credit facility or

backstopped in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Letter of Credit Issuer).

(e)Without duplication, the Borrower shall pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer, as appropriate,

on demand, the Letter of Credit Issuer’s other customary fees at then prevailing rates, without duplication

of fees otherwise payable hereunder (including all per annum fees), charges and expenses of the Letter of

Credit Issuer in respect of the application for, and the issuance, negotiation, acceptance, amendment,

transfer and payment of, each Letter of Credit or otherwise payable pursuant to the application and related

documentation under which such Letter of Credit is issued.

(f)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any amounts to

any Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 4.1, except to the extent provided in Section 2.16(a)(iii).

4.2Voluntary Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments.  Upon at least two Business

Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office (which notice

the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrower has the right,

without premium or penalty, on any day, permanently to terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit

Commitments in whole or in part; providedthat (a) any such reduction shall apply proportionately and

permanently to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment of each of the Revolving Credit Lenders,

except that (i) notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with the establishment on any date of any

Extended Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.14(g), the Revolving Credit

Commitments of any one or more Lenders providing any such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments

on such date shall be reduced in an amount equal to the amount of Revolving Credit Commitments so

extended on such date (providedthat (x) after giving effect to any such reduction and to the repayment of

any Revolving Credit Loans made on such date, the Revolving Credit Exposure of any such Lender does

not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment thereof and (y) for the avoidance of doubt, any such

repayment of Revolving Credit Loans contemplated by the preceding clause shall be made in compliance

with the requirements of Section 5.3(a)with respect to the ratable allocation of payments hereunder, with

such allocation being determined after giving effect to any conversion pursuant to Section 2.14(g)of

Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans into Extended Revolving Credit

Commitments and Extended Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.14(g)prior to any reduction

being made to the Revolving Credit Commitment of any other Lender) and (ii) the Borrower may at its

election permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender to $0 without

affecting the Revolving Credit Commitments of any other Lender, (b) any partial reduction pursuant to

this Section 4.2shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000, and (c) after giving effect to such

termination or reduction and to any prepayments of the Loans made on the date thereof in accordance

with this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed

the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit

Exposures in respect of any Class shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment of such

Class.

whole or in part from time to time on the following terms and conditions: (1) the Borrower shall give the

Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) written notice in the

form of a Notice of Loan Prepayment, which notice (x) shall specify the date and amount of such

prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Term SOFR Loans are to be prepaid, the

Interest Period(s) of such Loans, and (y) shall be given by the Borrower (i) in the case of Term SOFR

Loans, no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) two Business Days prior to, (ii) in the case of Base

Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans), no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of

this Section 5.1on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower

shall, promptly after receipt of a written request by any applicable Lender (which request shall set forth in

reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account

Borrower may specify and (b) applied to reduce Term Loan Repayment Amounts, any New Term Loan

Repayment Amounts, and, subject to Section 2.14(g), Extended Term Loan Repayment Amounts, as the

case may be, in each case, in such order as the Borrower may specify; providedthat, if the Borrower does

not specify the application of prepayments in respect of any Term Loans, such prepayments shall be

applied ratably to reduce the Initial Term Loans and New Term Loans in direct order of maturity. Any

prepayment of a Term SOFR Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid.

Subject to Section 2.15, such prepayments shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective

Applicable Percentages in respect of each of the relevant Credit Facilities.

-119-

5.2Mandatory Prepayments.

(a)Term Loan Prepayments.

(i)On each occasion that a Prepayment Event occurs, the Borrower shall, within

three Business Days after receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event (other

than one covered by clause (iii)below) and within ten Business Days after the occurrence of any other

Prepayment Event (or, in the case of Deferred Net Cash Proceeds, within ten Business Days after the

Deferred Net Cash Proceeds Payment Date), prepay, in accordance with clause (c)below, Term Loans

with an equivalent principal amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Prepayment

Event; providedthatwith respect to the Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale Prepayment Event or

Casualty Event, (A) the percentage in this Section 5.2(a)(i) shall be reduced to 50% if the Consolidated

First Lien Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio on the date of prepayment (prior to giving effect

thereto) for the most recent Test Period ended prior to such prepayment date is less than or equal to 2.50

to 1.00 but greater than 2.00 to 1.00 and (B) no payment of any Term Loans shall be required under this

Section 5.2(a)(i) if the Consolidated First Lien Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio on the date

of prepayment (prior to giving effect thereto) for the most recent Test Period ended prior to such

prepayment date is less than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00; provided, further, that, with respect to the Net Cash

Proceeds of an Asset Sale Prepayment Event or Casualty Event, in each case solely to the extent with

respect to any Collateral, the Borrower may use a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay or

repurchase Permitted Other Indebtedness (and with such prepaid or repurchased Permitted Other

Indebtedness permanently extinguished) with a Lien on the Collateral ranking equal with the Liens

securing the Obligations to the extent any applicable Permitted Other Indebtedness Document requires the

issuer of such Permitted Other Indebtedness to prepay or make an offer to purchase such Permitted Other

Indebtedness with the proceeds of such Prepayment Event, in each case in an amount not to exceed the

product of (x) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds multipliedby (y) a fraction, the numerator of which

is the outstanding principal amount of the Permitted Other Indebtedness with ranking equal and with

respect to which such a requirement to prepay or make an offer to purchase exists and the denominator of

which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of such Permitted Other Indebtedness and the

outstanding principal amount of Term Loans.

(ii)[Reserved.]

(iii)On each occasion that Permitted Other Indebtedness is issued or incurred

pursuant to Section 10.1(u), the Borrower shall within three Business Days of receipt of the Net Cash

Proceeds of such Permitted Other Indebtedness prepay, in accordance with clause (c)below, Term Loans

with a principal amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such issuance or incurrence of

Permitted Other Indebtedness.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 5.2, (A) to the extent that any or all

of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Prepayment Event by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment

pursuant to clause (i)above (a “Foreign Subsidiary Prepayment Event”) are prohibited or delayed by

any Requirements of Law from being repatriated to the Credit Parties, an amount equal to the portion of

such Net Cash Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times

provided in clause (i)above, but only so long as the applicable Requirements of Law will not permit

repatriation to the Credit Parties (the Credit Parties hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Subsidiary to

promptly take all commercially reasonable actions available under the applicable Requirements of Law to

permit repatriation;provided, that the obligation of the Credit Parties under this Agreement to take such

action will expire twelve (12) months following such event), and once a repatriation of any of such

-120-

affected Net Cash Proceeds is permitted under the applicable Requirements of Law, an amount equal to

such Net Cash Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than ten Business Days after such

repatriation is permitted) applied (net of any taxes that would be payable or reserved against if such

amounts were actually repatriated whether or not they are repatriated) to the repayment of the Loans

pursuant to clause (i)above, and (B) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith in

consultation with the Administrative Agent that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any

Foreign Subsidiary Prepayment Event would have an adverse tax consequence (that is not de minimis)

with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds, an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds so affected may be

retained by the applicable Subsidiary; providedthat in the case of this clause (B), on or before the date on

which any Net Cash Proceeds from any Foreign Subsidiary Prepayment Event so retained would

otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or prepayments pursuant to clause (i)above,

(x) the Borrower shall apply an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds to such reinvestments or

prepayments as if such Net Cash Proceeds had been received by the Credit Parties rather than such

Subsidiary, less the amount of any taxes (including any withholding taxes and Tax Distributions) that

would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Cash Proceeds had been repatriated (or, if less,

the Net Cash Proceeds that would be calculated if received by such Subsidiary) or (y) such Net Cash

Proceeds shall be applied to the repayment of Indebtedness of a Subsidiary that is not a Credit Party.  For

the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement, including Section 5shall be construed to require any

Subsidiary to repatriate cash.

(b)Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans.  If on any date the aggregate amount of the

Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures in respect of any Class of Revolving Loans for any reason exceeds

100% of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class then in effect, the Borrower shall forthwith

repay on such date Revolving Loans of such Class in an amount equal to such excess upon obtaining

knowledge thereof.  If after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Revolving Loans of such

Class, the Revolving Credit Exposures of such Class exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such

Class then in effect, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in relation to such Class to

the extent of such excess upon obtaining knowledge thereto.

(c)Application to Repayment Amounts.  Subject to Section 5.2(f), each prepayment of Term

Loans required by Section 5.2(a)(i)or (iii)shall be allocated pro rata among the Initial Term Loans, the

New Term Loans and the Extended Term Loans based on the applicable remaining Repayment Amounts

due thereunder and shall be applied within each Class of Term Loans in respect of such Term Loans (x)

first to the next four unpaid scheduled amortization payments in direct order of maturity and (y) then,

ratably, to the remaining unpaid scheduled amortization payments (including the payments due at

maturity); providedthat the Borrower may allocate a lesser proportion of such prepayment in its sole

discretion to any later maturing Class or tranche of Term Loans (including New Term Loans and/or

Extended Term Loans, but excluding the Initial Term Loans) than to any Class or tranche of Term Loans

maturing on any earlier date.  Subject to Section 5.2(f), with respect to each such prepayment, the

Borrower will, not later than the date specified in Section 5.2(a)for making such prepayment, give the

Administrative Agent written notice which shall include a calculation of the amount of such prepayment

to be applied to each Class of Term Loans requesting that the Administrative Agent provide notice of

such prepayment to each Initial Term Loan Lender, New Term Loan Lender or Lender of Extended Term

Loans, as applicable.

(d)Application to Term Loans.  With respect to each prepayment of Term Loans required by

Section 5.2(a), the Borrower may, if applicable, designate the Types of Loans that are to be prepaid and

the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made; provided, that if any Lender has provided a Rejection

Notice in compliance with Section 5.2(f), such prepayment shall be applied with respect to the Term

Loans to be prepaid on a pro rata basis across all outstanding Types of such Term Loans in proportion to

the percentage of such outstanding Term Loans to be prepaid represented by each such Class.  In the

absence of a Rejection Notice or a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence,

each prepayment shall be applied first to Base Rate Loansand then to Term SOFR Loans in direct order

of Interest Period maturities.

-121-

(e)Application to Revolving Credit Loans. With respect to each prepayment of Revolving

Credit Loans, the Borrower may designate (i) the Types of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific

Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made and (ii) the Revolving Loans to be prepaid; providedthat (y) each

prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans; and

(z) notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding clause (y), no prepayment of Revolving Loans shall

be applied to the Revolving Credit Loans of any Defaulting Lender unless otherwise agreed in writing by

the Borrower.  In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence,

each prepayment shall be applied first to Base Rate Loansand then to Term SOFR Loans in direct order

of Interest Period maturities.

(f)Rejection Right.  The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any

mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 5.2(a)at least three

Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment.  Each such notice shall specify the date of such

prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment.  The

Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender holding Term Loans of the contents of such

prepayment notice and of such Lender’s pro rata share of the prepayment.  Each Term Loan Lender may

reject all (but not less than all) of its pro ratashare of any mandatory prepayment other than any such

mandatory prepayment with respect to a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event under Section 5.2(a)(i)or

Permitted Other Indebtedness under Section 5.2(a)(iii)(such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”)

of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 5.2(a)by providing written notice (each, a

“Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) two

Business Days after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding

such prepayment.  If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the

time frame specified above, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such

mandatory prepayment of Term Loans.  Any Declined Proceeds remaining shall thereafter be retained by

the Borrower.

5.3Method and Place of Payment.

(a)Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement

shall be made by the Borrower, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, to the

Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto (or, in the case of the

Swingline Loans to the Swingline Lender) or the Letter of Credit Issuer entitled thereto, as the case may

be, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), in each case, on the date when due and shall be made

in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other office as the

Administrative Agent shall specify for such purpose by notice to the Borrower (or in the case of the

Swingline Loans, at such office as the Swingline Lender shall specify for such purpose by notice to the

Borrower), it being understood that written or facsimile notice by the Borrower to the Administrative

Agent to make a payment from the funds in the Borrower’s account(s) at the Administrative Agent’s

Office shall constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account.  All

repayments or prepayments of any Loans (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) hereunder shall be

made in the currency in which such Loans are denominated and all other payments under each Credit

Document shall, unless otherwise specified in such Credit Document, be made in Dollars.

(b)Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City

time) may be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day in the Administrative

Agent’s sole discretion for purposes of calculating interest thereon (or, in the case of the Swingline Loans,

at the Swingline Lender’s sole discretion).  Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever any payment

to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof

shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest

shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

(c)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to

the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the

Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative

Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and

may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer,

as the case may be, the amount due. With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for

-122-

the account of the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent

determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following

applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) the Borrower has not in fact made

such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the

Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative Agent has for any reason otherwise

erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may

be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount

so distributed to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest

thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date

of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by

the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice

of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this

clause (c)shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

5.4Net Payments.

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

(i)Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Parties

hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall, except as required by applicable laws, be made free

and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes.

(ii)If any Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable law (as determined in

the good faith discretion of such Withholding Agent) to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment,

then (A) such Withholding Agent shall be entitled to withhold or make such deductions as are reasonably

determined by such Withholding Agent to be required by applicable law, (B) such Withholding Agent

shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority, and (C) to

the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by

the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or

deductions have been made (including withholding or deductions applicable to additional sums payable

under this Section 5.4) each Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no

such withholding or deductions been made.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties.  Without limiting or duplicating the

provisions of subsection (a)above, the Credit Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant

Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or timely reimburse the Administrative Agent

or any Lender for the payment of any Other Taxes.

(c)Indemnification by the Credit Parties.  Without limiting or duplicating the provisions of

subsection (a)or (b)above, the Credit Parties shall indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in

respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including

Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.4)

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 any such payment 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.

(d)Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit

Party to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 5.4, 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 any return required by laws to report such payment or other evidence

of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

-123-

(e)Status of Lenders and Tax Documentation.

(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax

with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the 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

paragraphs (A), (B) and (D) of Section 5.4(e)(ii)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable

judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material

unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such

Lender.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A)any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of

Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative

Agent on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time

to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) executed

copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form thereto) certifying that such Lender

is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)each Non-U.S. 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 about the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this

Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the

Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:

Form W-8BEN-E (or any applicable successor form) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax

treaty to which the United States is a party;

(2)executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or

any successor form thereto);

(3)in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the

exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate, substantially in the

form of Exhibit I-1(a “Non-Bank Tax Certificate”), to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not (A) a

“bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10-percent shareholder” of the

Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign

corporation” related to the Borrower described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed

copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E (or any applicable successor

form); or

-124-

(4)to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner,

executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form thereto), and to the

extent necessary, accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Internal Revenue Service

Form W-8BEN, Internal Revenue Service Form W 8BEN-E, a Non-Bank Tax Certificate (substantially in

the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-3, as applicable), Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, and/or other

certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable (providedthat, if the Non-U.S. Lender

is a partnership, not a participating Lender and one or more beneficial direct or indirect partners of such

Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the Non-Bank Tax Certificate(s) (substantially in the

form of Exhibit I-4) may be provided by the Non-U.S. Lender on behalf of the direct or indirect

partner(s));

(C)any Non-U.S. 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 about the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this

Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the

Administrative Agent) executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable laws as a basis for

claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax together with such supplementary

documentation as may be prescribed by applicable laws to permit the Borrower or the Administrative

Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;

(D)each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent

at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or

the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by

Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the

Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative

Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied

with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold

from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (C), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made

to FATCA after the date of this Agreement; and

(E)if the Administrative Agent is a “United States person” (as defined in

Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), it shall provide the Borrower on or prior to the date that it becomes a

party to this Agreement (or from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower)

with two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 with respect to fees received on

its own behalf, certifying that it is exempt from federal backup withholding. If the Administrative Agent

is not a “United States person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), it shall provide, on or

prior to the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the

reasonable request for the Borrower), (1) executed originals or copies of Internal Revenue Service Form

W-8ECI, with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account and any

other documentation prescribed by applicable law that would allow the Borrower to make such payments

without deduction or withholding of any U.S. federal withholding Taxes, and (2) executed originals or

copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY certifying on Part I and Part VI of such

Form W-8IMY that it is either (a) a “qualified intermediary” assuming primary withholding responsibility

under Chapters 3 and 4 of the Code and primary Form 1099 reporting and backup withholding

responsibility for payments it receives for the accounts of others, or (b) a U.S. branch that has agreed to

be treated as a U.S. person for United States federal withholding tax purposes with respect to payments

received by it from the Borrower and that the payments it receives for the account of others are not

effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and that it is using such

form as evidence of its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as a U.S. person with respect to such

-125-

payments (and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to so treat the Administrative Agent as a

U.S. person with respect to such payments as contemplated by Treasury Regulations Section

1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A)). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it

determines that it is no longer in a position to provide the certification described in the prior sentence.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or

inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and

the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f)Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in

its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has

been indemnified by any Credit Party or with respect to which any Credit Party has paid additional

amounts pursuant to this Section 5.4, the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as applicable) shall

promptly pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity

payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Credit Parties under this Section 5.4with respect to

the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) incurred by

the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest

paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); providedthat the Borrower,

upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the

Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority)

to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is

required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

in this paragraph (f), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any

amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f)the payment of which would place the

Administrative Agent or any Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative

Agent or any Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such

refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or

additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This subsection shall not be construed

to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other

information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Credit Party or any other Person.

(g)For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 5.4, the term “Lender” includes

the Letter of Credit Issuer and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(h)Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.4shall survive the resignation or

replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender,

the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under

the Credit Documents.

5.5Computations of Interest and Fees.

(a)Except as provided in the next succeeding sentence, interest on Term SOFR Loans shall

be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed (which results in more interest

being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).  Interest on Base Rate Loans (including Base

Rate Loans determined by reference to Term SOFR) shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as

the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.

(b)Fees and the daily Stated Amount of Letters of Credit shall be calculated on the basis of a

360-day year for the actual days elapsed (which results in more fees being paid than if computed on the

basis of a 365-day year).

5.6Limit on Rate of Interest.

(a)No Payment Shall Exceed Lawful Rate.  Notwithstanding any other term of this

Agreement, the Borrower shall not be obliged to pay any interest or other amounts under or in connection

-126-

with this Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Obligations in excess of the amount or rate permitted

under or consistent with any applicable law, rule or regulation.

(b)Payment at Highest Lawful Rate.  If the Borrower is not obliged to make a payment that

it would otherwise be required to make, as a result of Section 5.6(a), the Borrower shall make such

payment to the maximum extent permitted by or consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

(c)Adjustment if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate.  If any provision of this Agreement or

any of the other Credit Documents would obligate the Borrower to make any payment of interest or other

amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate that would be prohibited by any

applicable law, rule or regulation, then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be

deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the

case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent

necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by the Borrower to the affected

Lender under Section 2.8; providedthat to the extent lawful, the interest or other amounts that would have

been payable but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 5.6shall be cumulated and

the interest payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above

such maximum amount or rate of interest therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest

thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.  In

determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a

Lender exceeds the maximum rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, rule or

regulation, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than

interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate,

and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the

Obligations hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if

any Lender shall have received from the Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any

applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the

Administrative Agent, to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and

pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to the

Borrower.

5.7Sharing of Payments by Lenders.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff

or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations in respect of any of the Credit

Facilities due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Credit Documents at such time in

excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations in respect of

the Credit Facilities due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the

Obligations in respect of the Credit Facilities due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the

other Credit Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations in respect of the Credit

Facilities due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Credit Documents at such time

obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations in respect of any of the Credit Facilities owing

(but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Credit Documents at such time in

excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations in respect of

the Credit Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate

amount of the Obligations in respect of the Credit Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to all

Lenders hereunder and under the other Credit Documents at such time) of payments on account of the

Obligations in respect of the Credit Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder

and under the other Credit Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time, then, in

each case under clauses (a) and (b) above, the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (A) notify

the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (B) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the

Loans and sub-participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans of the other Lenders, or make such

other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the

-127-

Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations in respect of the Credit Facilities

then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may

be, provided that:

(i)if any such participations or sub-participations are purchased and all or any

portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or sub-participations shall be

rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii)the provisions of this Section 5.6 shall not be construed to apply to (A) any

payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of

this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B)

the application of Cash Collateral provided for in this Agreement, or (C) any payment obtained by a

Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or sub-

participations in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an

assignment to any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 5.6 shall

apply).

Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under

applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may

exercise against such Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as

fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Credit Party in the amount of such participation.

Section 8.Representations and Warranties

In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans, the Swingline

Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit as provided for herein, the Borrower makes the

following representations and warranties to the Lenders, all of which shall survive the execution and

delivery of this Agreement, the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit:

8.1Corporate Status.  Each of the Credit Parties (a) is a duly organized and/or incorporated

and validly existing corporation, limited liability company or other entity in good standing (if applicable)

under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and/or incorporation and has the corporate, limited

liability company or other organizational power and authority to own its property and assets and to

transact the business in which it is engaged and (b) has duly qualified and is authorized to do business and

is in good standing (if applicable) in all jurisdictions where it is required to be so qualified, except where

the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

providedthat it is understood and agreed that in no event shall any representation or warranty made in

respect of this Section 8.1 be untrue or incorrect to the extent made on or prior to the date that is thirty

days after the Closing Date (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its

-131-

reasonable discretion) as a result of the failure of the Restricted Subsidiaries set forth on Schedule 8.1to

fail to be in good standing.

8.2Corporate Power and Authority.  Each of the Credit Parties has the corporate or other

organizational power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the Credit

Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to

authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Credit Documents to which it is a party.  Each of

the Credit Parties has duly executed and delivered each Credit Document to which it is a party and each

such Credit Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party, enforceable

in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,

insolvency, liquidation, winding-up, dissolution, strike-off or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights

generally and subject to general principles of equity.

8.3No Violation.  Neither the execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party of the

Credit Documents to which it is a party nor compliance with the terms and provisions thereof and the

other transactions contemplated hereby will (a) contravene any applicable provision of any law, statute,

rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, other than

any such contravention that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect,

(b) result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default

under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any

of the property or assets of such Credit Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Liens

created under the Credit Documents or Permitted Liens) pursuant to the terms of any indenture, loan

agreement, lease agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or other instrument to which such Credit

Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is

bound (any such term, covenant, condition or provision, a “Contractual Requirement”) other than any

such breach, default or Lien that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect

or (c) violate in any material respect any provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-laws,

memorandum and articles of association or other organizational documents of such Credit Party or any of

the Restricted Subsidiaries.

8.4Litigation.  There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the

knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing against Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Restricted

Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to be determined adversely and, if so, to result in a

Material Adverse Effect.

8.5Margin Regulations.  Neither the making of any Loan hereunder nor the use of the

proceeds thereof will violate the provisions of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board.

Following the application of the proceeds of each Borrowing or drawing under each Letter of Credit, not

more than 25% of the value of the assets (either of the Borrower only or of the Borrower and its

Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) subject to the provisions of Section 10.2or Section 10.4or subject

to any restriction contained in any agreement or instrument between the Borrower and any Lender or any

Affiliate of any Lender relating to Indebtedness and within the scope of Section 11.4will be margin

stock.

8.6Governmental Approvals.  The execution, delivery and performance of each Credit

Document does not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or other action by, any

Governmental Authority, except for (i) such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and

effect, (ii) filings, consents, approvals, registrations and recordings in respect of the Liens created

pursuant to the Security Documents (and to release existing Liens), and (iii) such licenses, approvals,

authorizations, registrations, filings or consents the failure of which to obtain or make would not

reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

-132-

8.7Investment Company Act.  None of Holdings, the Borrower or any other Restricted

Subsidiary is an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as

amended.

8.8True and Complete Disclosure.

(a)None of the written factual information and written data (taken as a whole) concerning

Holdings, the Borrower, the Restricted Subsidiaries and their respective businesses heretofore or

contemporaneously furnished by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower, any of the other Restricted

Subsidiaries or any of their respective authorized representatives to the Administrative Agent, any Joint

Lead Arranger and Joint Bookrunner and/or any Lender on or before the Closing Date (including all such

written information and data contained in the Credit Documents) for purposes of or in connection with

this Agreement or any transaction contemplated herein was, when furnished, incorrect in any material

respect or contained any untrue statement of any material fact or omitted to state any material fact

necessary to make such information and data (taken as a whole) not materially misleading at such time in

light of the circumstances under which such information or data was furnished (after giving effect to all

supplements and updates), it being understood and agreed that for the purposes of this Section 8.8(a),

such factual information and data shall not include (i) pro forma financial information, projections,

estimates (including financial estimates, forecasts and other Forward-Looking Information) or other

Forward-Looking Information, (ii) information of a general economic or general industry nature and (iii)

third-party memos or reports.

(b)The financial projections, forecasts, budgets and other forward-looking information

provided by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower or its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or any

Lender prior to the Closing Date were prepared in good faith based upon estimates and assumptions

believed by the Borrower to be reasonable at the time such information was furnished to the

Administrative Agent or such Lender (it being understood and agreed that financial projections, estimates

and forecasts are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the

Borrower’s control, are not a guarantee of financial performance, actual results may differ therefrom and

such differences may be material).

8.9Financial Condition; Financial Statements.

(a)The Historical Financial Statements, in each case, present fairly in all material respects

the consolidated financial position of the Borrower (or, in the case of the financials described in clause (i)

of the definition of Historical Financial Statements, Accelevation Holding Company, LLC) at the

respective dates of said information, statements and results of operations for the respective periods

covered thereby.  The Historical Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP, except as

may be disclosed in the notes to such Historical Financial Statements or, in the case of the Historical

Interim Financial Statements, for normal recurring year-end adjustment (none of which would reasonably

be expected to be material individually or in the aggregate) and the absence of notes or other information

not required by GAAP to be included in interim financial statements (none of which, if presented, would

reasonably be expected to materially differ from those in the Historical Audited Financial Statements).

(b)There has been no Material Adverse Effect since the Closing Date.

Each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower and its

Subsidiaries may be required to restate Historical Financial Statements as the result of the implementation

of changes in GAAP or the respective interpretation thereof, and that such restatements will not result in a

Default or an Event of Default under the Credit Documents.

-133-

8.10Compliance with Laws.

(a)Each Credit Party and its Restricted Subsidiaries is in compliance with all Requirements

of Law applicable to it or its property, except to the extent any failure to comply would reasonably be

expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)Each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries and each of the respective directors and officers

and, with respect to clauses (a)and (b)of this Section 8.10, to the knowledge of such Credit Parties,

employees, agents and representatives of each Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries (in each case in their

capacity as such), (a) is in compliance with (i) applicable Sanctions and (ii) the United States Foreign

Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (the

“FCPA”) and other applicable anti-corruption laws (collectively with the FCPA, the “Anti-Corruption

Laws”), in all material respects and (b) is in compliance with the Anti-Money Laundering Laws in all

material respects.

8.11Tax Matters.  (a) Each of Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries has

filed all Tax returns required to be filed by it and has timely paid all Taxes payable by it (whether or not

shown on a Tax return and including in its capacity as withholding agent) that have become due and

payable, other than those (i) being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings if it has maintained

adequate reserves (in the good faith judgment of management of Holdings, the Borrower or such

Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable) with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP and it can lawfully

withhold such payment or (ii) the non-filing or non-payment of which would not reasonably be expected,

either individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect and (b) each of Holdings, the

Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries has provided adequate reserves (in the good faith judgement of

reasonable detail as to the insurance so carried.  Each such policy of insurance shall (i) name the

the Restricted Subsidiaries; providedthat none of Holdings, the Borrower nor any of the Restricted

Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any such Tax that (i) is being contested in good faith and by proper

result in a Material Adverse Effect.

9.6Compliance with Statutes, Regulations, Etc.  Holdings and the Borrower will, and will

for such documents, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent promptly following the receipt

thereof, copies of any documents described in Sections 101(k) or 101(l) of ERISA that any Credit Party or

Security Documents, the Borrower will cause each direct or indirect Restricted Subsidiary (other than any

Excluded Subsidiary) formed or otherwise purchased or acquired after the Closing Date (including

Excluded Subsidiary, within 60 days from the date of such formation, acquisition or cessation, as

grantor under such Security Documents and take all other action reasonably requested by the Collateral

Agent to grant a perfected security interest in its assets to substantially the same extent as created and

agreement, document or other instrument governed by the law of any jurisdiction other than the United

avoidance of doubt, the Borrower, in its sole discretion, may designate Restricted Subsidiaries as

the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (as agreed to in writing), the cost or other consequences of

extent doing so would result in adverse tax consequences (that are not de minimis) as reasonably

determined by the Borrower in consultation with the Administrative Agent, Holdings and the Borrower

will cause (i) all certificates representing Capital Stock and Stock Equivalents of any Restricted

Subsidiary (other than any Excluded Stock and Stock Equivalents) held directly by Holdings, the

Borrower or any other Credit Party, (ii) all evidences of Indebtedness in excess of $15,000,000and

request, in order to grant, preserve, protect, and perfect the validity and priority of the security interests

created or intended to be created by the applicable Security Documents, all at the expense of the Borrower

and the Restricted Subsidiaries. For avoidance of doubt, nothing under this Agreement or the Security

Documents shall be construed as a requirement to enter into any source code escrow arrangement, an

jurisdiction, or an obligation to make any filings or take any actions to record or to perfect the Agents’

lien on or security interest in (I) any Intellectual Property other than UCC filings and the filing of

Administrative Agent, if any assets (other than Excluded Property) are acquired by the Borrower or any

other Credit Party after the Closing Date (other than assets constituting Collateral under a Security

delivered to it (including as a result of the Collateral Agent’s failure to file a Uniform Commercial Code

continuation statement)) or any grantor thereunder or any Credit Party shall deny or disaffirm in writing

any grantor’s obligations under any Security Document; or

11.10Judgments.  One or more final judgments or decrees shall be entered against Holdings,

the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries involving a liability in excess of the Threshold Amount

in the aggregate for all such judgments and decrees for Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted

Subsidiaries (to the extent not covered by insurance or indemnities as to which the applicable insurance

company or third party has not denied coverage) and any such judgments or decrees shall not have been

satisfied, vacated, discharged or stayed or bonded pending appeal within 60 days after the entry thereof;

or

11.11Change of Control.  A Change of Control shall occur.

11.12Remedies Upon Event of Default.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing

(subject to Section 11.14), the Administrative Agent shall, upon the written request of the Required

Lenders, by written notice to the Borrower, without prejudice to the rights of the Administrative Agent or

any Lender to enforce its claims against the Borrower, except as otherwise specifically provided for in

this Agreement: (i) declare any of the Commitments terminated, whereupon such Commitment, if any, of

-169-

each Lender, as the case may be, shall forthwith terminate immediately and any fees theretofore accrued

shall forthwith become due and payable without any other notice of any kind, (ii) declare the principal of

and any accrued interest and fees in respect of all Loans and all Obligations to be, whereupon the same

shall become, forthwith due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any

kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law;

(iii) terminate any Letter of Credit that may be terminated in accordance with its terms; and/or (iv) direct

the Borrower to pay (and the Borrower agrees that upon receipt of such notice, or upon the occurrence of

an Event of Default specified in Section 11.5with respect to the Borrower, it will pay) to the

Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office such additional amounts of cash, to be held as

security for the Borrower’s respective Reimbursement Obligations for Unpaid Drawings that may

subsequently occur thereunder, equal to the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit issued and

then outstanding; providedthat, if an Event of Default specified in Section 11.5shall occur with respect

to the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary, the result that would occur upon the giving of written notice

by the Administrative Agent shall occur automatically without the giving of any such notice.

Each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower

and its Subsidiaries may be required to restate historical financial statements as the result of the

implementation of changes in GAAP or the respective interpretation thereof, and that such restatements

will not result in a Default or an Event of Default under the Credit Documents.

Further, notwithstanding any other provisions herein or in any Credit Document to the contrary,

no action taken and publicly announced or otherwise reported to the Administrative Agent and the

Lenders shall provide the basis for any Default or Event of Default more than two years after the date of

such public announcement or report unless the Administrative Agent is exercising remedies or has

reserved its rights by written notice to the Borrower at such time.

11.13Application of Proceeds.  Subject to the terms of, in each case if executed, an Acceptable

Intercreditor Agreement, any amount received by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent from

any Credit Party (or from proceeds of any Collateral) following any acceleration of the Obligations under

this Agreement or any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower under Section 11.5shall be applied:

(a)first, to the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses

incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in connection with any collection or sale of

the Collateral or otherwise in connection with any Credit Document, including all court costs and the

reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the

Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Document on behalf of

any Credit Party and any other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in

connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Credit Document to the

extent reimbursable hereunder or thereunder;

(b)second, to the payment in full of that portion of the Obligations (other than

reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit, Secured Cash Management Agreements and

Secured Hedge Agreements) constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal,

interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees and Letter of Credit fronting fees) payable to the

Secured Parties under the Credit Documents (including fees, charges and disbursements of legal counsel

to the respective Secured Parties arising under the Credit Documents), ratably among the Secured Parties

in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (b) payable to them;

(c)third, to the payment in full of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and

unpaid interest on the Loans and other Obligations (other than Secured Cash Management Agreements

and Secured Hedge Agreements), Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees and Letter of Credit fronting

-170-

fees in each case arising under the Credit Documents, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the

respective amounts described in this clause (c) payable to them;

(d)fourth, to the Secured Parties, an amount (x) equal to that portion of the Obligations

constituting unpaid principal on the Loans and Unpaid Drawings and Obligations in respect of Secured

Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements) and (y) sufficient to Cash Collateralize

all L/C Obligations on the date of any distribution, and, if such monies shall be insufficient to pay such

amounts in full and Cash Collateralize all L/C Obligations, then ratably (without priority of any one over

any other) to such Secured Parties in proportion to the unpaid amounts thereof and to Cash Collateralize

the L/C Obligations;

(e)fifth, to the Secured Parties, and amount equal to all remaining Obligations owing to them

on the date of any distribution, ratably among the Lenders on proportion to the respective amounts

described in this clause (e) payable to them; and

(f)sixth, any surplus then remaining after the Obligations have been paid in full, shall be

paid to the applicable Credit Parties or their successors or assigns or to whomsoever may be lawfully

entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct;

providedthat any amount applied to Cash Collateralize any L/C Obligations that has not been applied to

reimburse the Borrower for Unpaid Drawings under the applicable Letters of Credit at the time of

expiration of all such Letters of Credit shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the order specified

in clauses (a)through (f) above.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts received from any Guarantor

that is not an “Eligible Contract Participant” (as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act) shall not be

applied to its Obligations that are Excluded Swap Obligations.

11.14Equity Cure.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11, in

the event that the Borrower has determined that it has failed to comply with the requirement of any of the

Financial Covenants, from the end of the most recent fiscal quarter until the expiration of the 15th

Business Day following the date financial statements referred to in Sections 9.1(a) or (b) are required to

be delivered in respect of such fiscal period for which such financial covenant is being measured (the

“Cure Period”), any holder of Capital Stock or Stock Equivalents of Holdings or any direct or indirect

parent of Holdings has the right to cure such failure (the “Cure Right”) by causing cash net equity

proceeds derived from an issuance of Capital Stock or Stock Equivalents after the Closing Date during

such Cure Period (other than Disqualified Stock, unless reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative

Agent, and excluding any amounts previously designated as an Excluded Contribution Amount) by

Holdings (or from a contribution to the common equity capital of Holdings) to be contributed by Holdings

as cash common equity (or otherwise in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) to the

Borrower, and upon receipt by the Borrower of such cash contribution (such cash amount being referred

to as the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise of such Cure Right, such financial covenant shall be

recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments:

(a)Consolidated EBITDA shall be increased, solely for the purpose of determining the

existence of an Event of Default resulting from a breach of any of the Financial Covenants with respect to

any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters that includes the fiscal quarter for which the Cure Right was

exercised and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount;

and

(b)there shall be no pro forma reduction in Indebtedness with the proceeds of the Cure

Amount for determining compliance with any of the Financial Covenants; providedthat, to the extent

-171-

such proceeds are actually applied to prepay Indebtedness, such reduction may be credited in any

subsequent fiscal quarter.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11, (A) if, after giving effect to

the foregoing recalculations, the Borrower shall be in compliance with the requirements of the applicable

Financial Covenant, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such Financial

Covenants as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no

failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of such financial covenants

that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement; providedthat (i) in each

period of four consecutive fiscal quarters there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which no Cure Right

is made, (ii) there shall be a maximum of five Cure Rights made during the term of this Agreement, (iii)

each Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in

compliance with the applicable Financial Covenants, (iv) the exercise of a Cure Right with respect to

more than one Financial Covenant for the same fiscal quarter shall constitute a single Cure Right for

purposes of this clause (c) (including for purposes of clauses (i) and (ii) hereof) and (v) all Cure Amounts

shall be disregarded for the purposes of the Applicable Margin, the Commitment Fee Rate, any baskets or

financial ratio determination under the Credit Documents other than for determining compliance with

Section 10.9and (B) from and after the date that the Borrower delivers a written notice to the

Administrative Agent that it intends to exercise its Cure Right under this Section 11.14(a “Notice of

Intent to Cure”) until the earliest of the date on which the Cure Right is actually exercised, the date on

which the Cure Right was required to be exercised and the date on which the Borrower shall have

subsequently provided written notice to the Administrative Agent that it does not intend to exercise the

Cure Right, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender may exercise any rights or remedies under

Section 11.12(or under any other Credit Document) on the basis of any actual or purported Event of

Default under the covenant set forth in Section 10.9with respect to the quarter for which a Notice of

Intent to Cure has been provided (and any other Default as a result thereof); providedthat during such

Cure Period the Revolving Credit Lenders shall not be required to fund any request for a credit extension

under the Revolving Credit Facility nor shall the Letter of Credit Issuer be required to issue, increase or

extend any Letter of Credit.

Section 12.The Agents.

12.1Appointment.

(a)Each Lender and Swingline Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the

Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents

and irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf

under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such powers and

perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this

Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental

thereto.  The provisions of this Section 12(other than Section 12.1(c)with respect to the Joint Lead

Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners and Sections 12.1, 12.9, 12.11, 12.12and 12.15(h)with respect to the

Credit Parties) are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, none of the Borrower or any other

Credit Party shall have rights as third party beneficiary of any such provision.  Notwithstanding any

provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties

or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender,

and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into

this Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.  In

performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and does

not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or

trust with or for the Borrower or any of its respective Subsidiaries.

-172-

(b)The Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Letter of Credit

Issuer hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Collateral Agent as the agent with respect to the

Collateral, and each of the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Letter of

Credit Issuer irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its

behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such

powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this

Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental

thereto.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent

shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary

relationship with any of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swingline Lender or the Letter of

Credit Issuer, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall

be read into this Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent.

(c)Each of the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners, each in its capacity as such,

shall not have any obligations, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement but shall be entitled to all

benefits of this Section 12.

12.2Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may each

execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents by or through agents, sub-

agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters

pertaining to such duties.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible

for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, subagents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in the

absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in the final non-appealable judgment

of a court of competent jurisdiction).

12.3Exculpatory Provisions.  No Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,

attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by

any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document (except for its or

such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in the final non-appealable

judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein) or

(b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or any participant for any recitals, statements,

representations or warranties made by any Credit Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement

or any other Credit Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or

provided for in, or received by such Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other

Credit Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of

this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien or

security interest created or purported to be created under the Security Documents, or for any failure of any

Credit Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  No Agent shall be under any obligation

to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements

contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties,

books or records of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof.  The Collateral Agent shall not be under any

obligation to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or

performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit

Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party.  Without limiting the

generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise

any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such

Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of

the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 13.1), providedthat no

Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose

such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law, including for the

avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any debtor relief law

-173-

or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation

of any debtor relief law and (b) except as expressly set forth in the Credit Documents, no Agent shall have

any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the

Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the entity serving as

Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

12.4Reliance by Agents.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled

to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate,

affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or instruction

(including those transmitted by electronic transmission or any telephone message or conversation)

believed by it (in good faith) to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the

proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the

Borrower), independent accountants and other experts whether or not selected by the Administrative

Agent or the Collateral Agent.  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender specified in the

Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a

written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative

Agent.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to

take any action under this Agreement or any other Credit Document unless it shall first receive such

advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to

its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by

reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral

Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and

the other Credit Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and

any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future

holders of the Loans; providedthat the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be

required to take any action that, in its opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, may expose it to liability or

that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law.

12.5Notice of Default.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be

deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder

unless the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent has received written notice from a Lender, or the

Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such

notice is a “notice of default.”  In the event that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent receives

such a notice, it shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent or the Collateral

Agent, as applicable.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or

Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; providedthat unless and until

the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not

be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event

of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders except to the extent that this

Agreement requires that such action be taken only with the approval of the Required Lenders or each of

the Lenders, as applicable.

12.6Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Other Lenders.  Each

Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor any of

their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, legal counsel, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has

made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral

Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Credit Party, shall be deemed to

constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to any

Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer.  Each Lender, the Swingline Lender and the

Letter of Credit Issuer represents to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent that it has,

independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other

-174-

Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own

appraisal of, and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and

creditworthiness of the Borrower and each other Credit Party and made its own decision to make its

Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also represents that it will, independently

and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral 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

credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other

Credit Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the

business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of any of the Credit

Parties.  Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the

Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral

Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information

concerning the business, assets, operations, properties, financial condition, prospects or creditworthiness

of any Credit Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent

or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

12.7Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to severally indemnify each Agent and the L/C

Issuer in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting the

obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective portions of the Total Credit

Exposure in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after

the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full,

ratably in accordance with their respective portions of the Total Credit Exposure in effect immediately

prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,

actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time

(including at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against

an Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other

Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions

contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the

Collateral Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; providedthat no Lender shall be liable

to an Agent for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,

actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence

or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent

jurisdiction; provided, further, that no action taken by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the

directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be

required by the Credit Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct

for purposes of this Section 12.7.  In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to

any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or

disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time occur (including at any time following the

payment of the Loans), this Section 12.7applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding

is brought by any Lender or any other Person.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall

reimburse each Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including

attorneys’ fees) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery,

administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal

proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice rendered in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this

Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the

extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower; providedthat

such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations

with respect thereto.  If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of

such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease,

or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished;

provided, however, that in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against

-175-

any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in

excess of such Lender’s pro rata portion thereof; and provided, further, this sentence shall not be deemed

to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty,

action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or

willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

The agreements in this Section 12.7shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable

hereunder.  The indemnity provided to each Agent under this Section 12.7shall also apply to the Letter of

Credit Issuer and such Agent’s and the Letter of Credit Issuer’s respective Affiliates, directors, officers,

members, controlling persons, employees, trustees, advisors and agents and successors.

12.8Agents in Their Individual Capacities.  The agency hereby created shall in no way impair

or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its

individual capacity as a Lender hereunder.  Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept

deposits from, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Credit Party as though such Agent

were not an Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents.  With respect to the Loans made by

it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit

Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms

“Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

12.9Successor Agents.

(a)Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of

its resignation to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower.  Such resignation shall be

effective on the date set forth in such notice (but in no event shall such effective date occur prior to the

30thday following delivery of such notice in accordance with the terms of this Section 12.9) or, if no such

date is set forth therein, upon the date such notice shall be effective in accordance with the terms of this

Section 12.9.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right,

subject to the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) so long as no Event

of Default under Sections 11.1or 11.5is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank or

other financial institution with an office in the United States (other than any Disqualified Lender), or an

Affiliate of any such bank or other financial institution with an office in the United States.  If no such

successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such

appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (the “Resignation

Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent

meeting the qualifications set forth above (including receipt of the Borrower’s consent); providedthat if

the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no

qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become

effective in accordance with such notice.

(b)If the Person serving as the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to

clause (v)of the definition of Lender Default, the Required Lenders may to the extent permitted by

applicable law, subject to the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), by

notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as the Administrative Agent and,

with the consent of the Borrower, appoint a successor.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed

by the Required Lenders (with the consent of the Borrower as required above) and shall have accepted

such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders and the

Borrower) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in

accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as

applicable), (1) the retiring or removed agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations

-176-

hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by

the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer under any of the Credit

Documents, the retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security as

nominee until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments,

Communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the retiring or removed

Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender, Swingline Lender and the Letter of

Credit Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for

above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent

or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder, and upon the execution and filing or recording of

such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be

necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the

Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Security Documents, such successor shall succeed to and

become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) or removed

Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations

hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in

this Section 12.9). Except as provided above, any resignation or removal of Bank of America, N.A. as the

Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.9shall also constitute the resignation or removal of

Bank of America, N.A. as the Collateral Agent.  The fees payable by the Borrower, as applicable,

(following the effectiveness of such appointment) to such Agent shall be the same as those payable to its

predecessor unless otherwise agreed between such successor and the Borrower, as applicable.  After the

retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the

provisions of this Section 12(including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 12.7) and Section 13.5shall

continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub-agents and their respective

Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or

removed Agent was acting as an Agent.

(d)Any resignation by or removal of Bank of America, N.A. as the Administrative Agent

pursuant to this Section 12.9shall also constitute its resignation or removal as Swingline Lender and the

Letter of Credit Issuer; providedthat, for the avoidance of doubt, (1) it shall retain all the rights, powers,

privileges and duties of the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder with respect to all L/C Obligations as of the

effective date of its resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto

(including the right to require L/C Participants to make Revolving Credit Loans pro rata based on their

Applicable Percentages of the applicable Unpaid Drawing pursuant to Section 3.4(a)) and (2) it shall

retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made

by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require Mandatory

Borrowings pursuant to Section 2.1(d).  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the

Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the

rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swingline Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer, (b) the

retiring Swingline Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer shall be discharged from all of their respective

duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, and (c) the successor Swingline

Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit

issued by such Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent, if any, outstanding at

the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer

to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letters of

Credit.

12.10Withholding Tax.  To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative

Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under any Credit Document an amount equivalent

to any applicable withholding Tax.  If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States

or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from

amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, (i) because

-177-

the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to

notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or

reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective, (ii) any Taxes attributable to a Lender’s failure to comply with

the requirements of Section 13.6(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any

Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender) or if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a

payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding

Tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the

Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by any applicable Credit Party and without

limiting the obligation of any applicable Credit Party to do so), fully for all amounts paid, directly or

indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including penalties, additions to Tax and

interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of

pocket expenses. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by

the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the

Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under

this Agreement or any other Credit Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under

this Section 12.10.  The agreements in this Section 12.10shall survive the resignation and/or replacement

of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination

of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.  For the

avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 12.10, the term Lender includes the Swingline Lender

and the Letter of Credit Issuer.

12.11Agents Under Security Documents and Guarantee.  Each Secured Party hereby further

authorizes the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the

benefit of the Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to

the Collateral and the Security Documents.  Subject to Section 13.1, without further written consent or

authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable,

may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (a) release any Lien on any property granted to

or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) under any Credit

Document (i) upon the final Maturity Date and the payment in full (or Cash Collateralization) of all

Obligations (except for contingent indemnification obligations in respect of which a claim has not yet

been made, Secured Hedge Obligations as to which alternative arrangements reasonably acceptable to the

applicable Hedge Bank have been made and Secured Cash Management Obligations), (ii) that is sold or

to be sold or transferred as part of or in connection with any sale or other transfer permitted hereunder or

under any other Credit Document to a Person that is not a Credit Party or in connection with the

designation of any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, (iii) if the property subject to such

Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its Guarantee otherwise in

accordance with the Credit Documents, (iv) as to the extent provided in the Security Documents, (v) that

constitutes Excluded Property or Excluded Stock and Stock Equivalents or (vi) if approved, authorized or

ratified in writing in accordance with Section 13.1; (b) release any Guarantor (other than Holdings and the

Borrower (except as otherwise permitted by Section 10.3)) from its obligations under the Guarantee if

such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary (or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary) as a result of a

transaction or designation permitted hereunder; provided that no release shall occur if such Guarantor

becomes an Excluded Subsidiary solely as a result of the relevant Guarantor ceasing to be a Wholly-

Owned Restricted Subsidiary unless such transaction is entered into for a bona fide business purpose (as

determined by the Borrower in good faith) and, for the avoidance of doubt, not for the primary purpose

(as determined by the Borrower in good faith) of causing such release; (c) subordinate any Lien on any

property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Credit

Document to the holder of any Lien permitted under Section 10.2(d), Section 10.2(f) and Section 10.2(g)

(solely with respect to Section 10.1(o)(iii)); and (d) enter into subordination or an Acceptable

Intercreditor Agreement or intercreditor agreements with respect to Indebtedness and any subordination

agreement in connection with any Receivables Facility or Qualified Securitization Financingto the extent

-178-

the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is otherwise contemplated herein as being a party to

such intercreditor or subordination agreement.

The Collateral Agent shall have its own independent right to demand payment of the amounts

payable by the Borrower under this Section 12.11, irrespective of any discharge of the Borrower’s

obligations to pay those amounts to the other Lenders resulting from failure by them to take appropriate

steps in insolvency proceedings affecting the Borrower to preserve their entitlement to be paid those

amounts.

Any amount due and payable by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent under this Section 12.11

shall be decreased to the extent that the other Lenders have received (and are able to retain) payment in

full of the corresponding amount under the other provisions of the Credit Documents and any amount due

and payable by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent under those provisions shall be decreased to the

extent that the Collateral Agent has received (and is able to retain) payment in full of the corresponding

amount under this Section 12.11.

12.12Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee.  Anything contained in any of the

Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Agents, and each Secured Party

hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the

Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights, and

remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured

Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights, and remedies under the Security

Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the

Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the

Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any

such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured

Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required

Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making

settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public

sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral

payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.

Each Lender expressly and irrevocably agrees that it will not hinder or direct the Administrative

Agent to take any action that will hinder the automatic release of any security interest, Lien or Guarantee

provided for by this Section 12.12(including, without limitation, in connection with any disposition

permitted pursuant to Section 10.4and including, without limitation, any refusal to release liens, return

possessory collateral, execute and/or file release documentation or take any other reasonably requested

actions to documents or effectuate any such automatic release of Liens on Collateral contemplated under

this Agreement, in each case, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense) and expressly and irrevocably

agrees that the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to, and shall, take any necessary action to release

any such security interest, Lien or Guarantee to the extent authorized to do so by this Section 12.12

without any obligation or requirement to notify or obtain consent from any Lender.

No holder of Secured Hedge Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations shall have

any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any

Credit Party under this Agreement.  No holder of Secured Hedge Obligations or Secured Cash

Management Obligations that obtains the benefits of any Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the

provisions hereof or of any other Credit Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to

consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document or otherwise in

respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity

as a Lender or Agent and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Credit Documents.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall

not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with

respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management

-179-

Agreements, unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together

with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash

Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

12.13Intercreditor Agreement Governs.  The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and

each Lender (a) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions

of any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor agreement entered into pursuant to the

terms hereof, (b) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to

enter into each Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor agreement entered into pursuant

to the terms hereof and to subject the Liens securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof and

(c) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into any

Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor agreement that includes, or to amend any then-

existing-intercreditor agreement to provide for, the terms described in the definition of “Permitted Other

Indebtedness”.

12.14Certain ERISA Matters.

(a)Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender

party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date

such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for

the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, that at least one of

the following is and will be true:

(i)such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of

ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into,

participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments,

or this Agreement,

(ii)the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84–14 (a

class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset

managers), PTE 95–60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general

accounts), PTE 90–1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled

separate accounts), PTE 91–38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective

investment funds) or PTE 96–23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset

managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of

and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,

(iii)(A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional

Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Section VI of PTE 84–14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset

Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer

and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into,

participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments

and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) and (k) of Section I of PTE

84–14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Section I of

PTE 84–14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of

and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

(iv)such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing

between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(b)In addition, unless either (1) clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true

with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in

-180-

accordance with clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents

and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the

date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party

hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the

benefit of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, that the Administrative Agentis not a fiduciary with

respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in,

administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this

Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative

Agent under this Agreement, any Credit Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

12.15Erroneous Payment.  Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at

any time the Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Lender, whether or not in

respect of an Obligation due and owing by the Borrower at such time, where such payment is a

Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Lender receiving a Rescindable Amount severally

agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by

such Lender in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each

day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of

payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by

the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each

Lender irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a

creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt

owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount.  The

Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender promptly upon determining that any payment made to

such Lender comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

13.1Amendments, Waivers, and Releases.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the

Credit Documents, neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document, nor any terms hereof or

thereof, may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this

Default (other than any Event of Default under Section 11.1), default interest, mandatory prepayment or

and any related buyback, exchange or “roll up” is offered ratably to all Lenders holding such Credit

Facilities or (3) any other Indebtedness so long as such Indebtedness and any related buyback or exchange

is offered ratably to all Lenders holding such Credit Facilities and on the same terms as the other lenders

participating in such other Indebtedness and any related buyback or exchange, in each case without the

consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (y) notwithstanding anything to the

-182-

contrary in clause (x), (i) extend the final expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment or (ii) increase the

aggregate amount of the Commitments of any Lender, in each case, without the written consent of such

Lender; provided, further, in connection with an amendment that addresses solely a repricing transaction

in which any Class of Term Loans is refinanced with a replacement Class of Term Loans bearing (or is

modified in such a manner such that the resulting Term Loans bear) a lower Effective Yield (a

“Permitted Repricing Amendment”), only the consent of the Lenders holding Term Loans subject to

such permitted repricing transaction that will continue as a Lender in respect of the repriced tranche of

Term Loans or modified Term Loans shall be required.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to

approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except (x) that the Commitment of

such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender, (y) for any such

amendment, waiver or consent that treats such Defaulting Lender disproportionately and adversely from

the other Lenders of the same Class (other than because of its status as a Defaulting Lender) and (z) that

the principal amount of any Loan owed to such Lender may not be decreased without the consent of such

Lender.

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to

each of the affected Lenders and shall be binding upon Holdings, the Borrower, such Lenders, the

Administrative Agent and all future holders of the affected Loans.  In the case of any waiver, Holdings,

the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former positions and

rights hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall

be deemed to be cured and not continuing, it being understood that no such waiver shall extend to any

subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.  In connection

with the foregoing provisions, the Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligations to, with the

concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such

Lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to any credit extensions and related Joinder

Agreement(s) effectuated without the consent of Lenders in accordance with Section 2.14, this Agreement

may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the

Administrative Agent, Holdings and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this

Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the

accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other

Credit Documents with the Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Loans and the accrued interest and fees

in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any

determination of the Required Lenders and other definitions related to such New Term Loans and the

Revolving Credit Loans.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written

consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement

Facility to permit the refinancing in whole or in part of any Credit Facility (the “Refinanced Facility”)

with a replacement facility (a “Replacement Facility”) hereunder; providedthat (a) a Replacement

Facility in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility shall refinance the Revolving Credit Facility in full

and a Replacement Facility in respect of a Term Loan shall be in a minimum of $10,000,000 (or such

lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may approve), (b) no Event of Default shall have occurred and

be continuing, (c) [reserved], (d) except in the case of any Inside Maturity Debt Exclusion, the maturity

date of such Replacement Facility shall be no earlier than the maturity date of the Refinanced Facility,

(e) the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness and the available commitment available under such

Replacement Facility shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness and the available

commitment amount under such Refinanced Facility (plusan amount equal to all accrued but unpaid

-183-

interest, fees, premiums and expenses incurred in connection therewith), (f) [reserved], (g) except in the

case of any Inside Maturity Debt Exclusion, the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement

Facility shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinanced Facility at the

time of such refinancing (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has

been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the applicable Term Loans), (h) the covenants, events of

default and guarantees (excluding pricing and optional prepayments or redemption terms) either, at the

option of the Borrower, shallbe not materially more favorable (taken as a whole) (as determined in good

faith by the Borrower) to the Lenders providing such Replacement Facility than the covenants, events of

default and guarantees applicable to such Refinanced Facility, except to the extent necessary to provide

for covenants, events of default and guarantees applicable to any period after the maturity date in respect

of the Refinanced Facility in effect immediately prior tosuch refinancing orotherwise reflect market

terms and conditions (taken as a whole) at the time of such refinancing(as determined in good faith by

the Borrower) and (i)in the case of Replacement Facilities that are secured, the Replacement Facility will

be secured on a pari passu basis with, and by the same Collateral as, the Obligations.  Any such

refinancing of the Revolving Credit Facility shall require an equivalent commitment reduction thereunder.

No Affiliated Lender shall be a lender under any Replacement Facility that is a Revolving Credit Facility

and Affiliated Lenders providing any portion of a Replacement Facility that is a Term Loan shall be

subject to the limitations set forth in Section 13.6(h)as if the provision of such Replacement Facility were

an assignment of such Refinanced Facility to such Affiliated Lender.

The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent by the Credit

Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released (i) in full, upon the termination of this

Agreement and the payment of all Obligations hereunder (except for (w) contingent indemnification

obligations in respect of which a claim has not yet been made, (x) Secured Hedge Obligations, (y) Cash

Collateralized Letters of Credit pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the Letter of Credit

Issuer and (z) Secured Cash Management Obligations), (ii) upon the sale or other disposition of such

Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other sale or other disposition permitted

hereunder) to any Person other than another Credit Party, to the extent such sale or other disposition is

made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on

a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Credit Party upon its reasonable request without further

inquiry), (iii) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Credit Party, upon

termination or expiration of such lease, (iv) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified

in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be

required in accordance with this Section 13.1), (v) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is

owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable

Guarantee (in accordance with the second following sentence), (vi) as required to effect any sale or other

disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Collateral Agent pursuant to

the Security Documents and (vii) if such assets constitute Excluded Property or Excluded Stock and Stock

Equivalents.  Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any

Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released) of the Credit

Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Credit Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of

which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise released in

accordance with the provisions of the Credit Documents.  Additionally, the Lenders hereby irrevocably

agree that any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor shall be released from the Guarantees upon

consummation of any transaction not prohibited hereunder resulting in such Subsidiary ceasing to

constitute a Restricted Subsidiary or otherwise no longer being required to be a Guarantor hereunder;

providedthat no release shall occur if such Guarantor became an Excluded Subsidiary by virtue of no

longer being a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of a Credit Party unless it is no longer a Subsidiary

of any Credit Party or it is becoming a bona fide joint venture (as determined by the Borrower in good

faith) in a transaction otherwise permitted hereunder.  The Lenders hereby authorize and direct the

Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to execute and deliver any instruments,

-184-

documents and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantor or

Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, all without the further consent or joinder

of any Lender.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Credit Documents may be amended to add

syndication or documentation agents and make customary changes and references related thereto with the

consent of only the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Section 13.1) or

any other Credit Document to the contrary, (i) this Agreement and the other Credit Documents may be

amended to effect an incremental facility or extension facility pursuant to Section 2.14or Replacement

Facility pursuant to this Section 13.1(and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may effect such

amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents without the consent of any other party as

may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower,

to effect the terms of any such incremental facility or extension facility); (ii) no Lender consent is

required to effect any amendment or supplement to an Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or other

intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement that is for the purpose of adding

the holders of any Indebtedness as expressly contemplated by the terms of an Acceptable Intercreditor

Agreement or such other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement, as

applicable (it being understood that any such amendment or supplement may make such other changes to

the applicable intercreditor agreement as, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent in

consultation with the Borrower, are required to effectuate the foregoing; providedthat such other changes

are not adverse, in any material respect, to the interests of the Lenders taken as a whole); provided,

further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise directly and adversely affect the rights

or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the prior

written consent of the Administrative Agent; (iii) any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit

Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the

Administrative Agent to (x) cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency (as reasonably

expressly permitted by Section 10.3, the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or

obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and

any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and

(ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance

with this Section 13.6.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer

upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,

Participants (to the extent provided in clause (c)of this Section 13.6) and, to the extent expressly

contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the

Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders and each other Person entitled to indemnification under

Section 13.5) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b)(ii)below and Section 13.7, any Lender

under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans (including

participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans) at the time owing to it) with the prior written

consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; it being understood that, without

limitation, the relevant Person shall have the right to withhold their consent to any assignment if, in order

for such assignment to comply with applicable law, the Borrower would be required to obtain the consent

of, or make any filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority) of:

(A)the Borrower; providedthat no consent of the Borrower shall be required

(1) for an assignment to (X) a Lender, (Y) an Affiliate of a Lender, or (Z) an Approved Fund of a Lender,

(2) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments to any Eligible Assignee if a Specified Event of Default

(with respect to the Borrower) has occurred and is continuing or (3) unless (X) the prospective assignment

is to a Disqualified Lenderor (Y) the Borrower has already objected thereto by delivering written notice

to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of a written request for

consent thereto; and

-188-

(B)the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)

and, with respect to Revolving Credit Commitments only, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Swingline

Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); providedthat no consent of the Administrative

Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender, as applicable, shall be required for an assignment

of to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender.

holding company, investment vehicle or trust for a natural person), Disqualified Lender or Defaulting

Lender and (ii) with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments, Holdings, the Borrower or any of its

Subsidiaries or any Affiliated Lender; providedthat the list of Disqualified Lenders shall be made

available to Lenders by the Administrative Agent upon written request.  For the avoidance of doubt, the

Administrative Agent shall bear no responsibility or liability for monitoring and enforcing the list of

Persons who are Disqualified Lenders at any time and shall not have any liability with respect to or

arising out of any assignment of, or sale of a participation in, Loans or Commitments to, or disclosure of

Confidential Information, to any Disqualified Lender.

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

(A)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender

or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s

Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender

subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect

to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case

of Revolving Credit Commitments and $1,000,000 in the case of Term Loans or, if less, all of such

Lender’s remaining Loans and Commitments of the applicable Class, unless each of the Borrower and the

Administrative Agent otherwise consents (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

providedthat no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Specified Event of Default (with

respect to the Borrower) has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that contemporaneous

assignments by a Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of

meeting the minimum assignment amount requirements stated above (and simultaneous assignments to or

by two or more Related Funds shall be treated as one assignment), if any;

(B)each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a

proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that

this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning

Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(C)the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the

Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system or other method

reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, together with a processing and recordation fee in the

amount of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such

processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment; provided, further, that such processing and

recordation fee shall not be payable in the case of assignments by any Agent or any of its Affiliates;

(D)the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the

(E)any assignment to Holdings, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or an

Affiliated Lender (other than an Affiliated Institutional Lender) shall also be subject to the requirements

of Section 13.6(h).

-189-

For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent bears no responsibility for tracking or

monitoring assignments to or participations by any Affiliated Lender or any Disqualified Lender.

(iii)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(v)of this

Section 13.6, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee

thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and

Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender

thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released

from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all

of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a

party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits and obligations of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.4and

13.5).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not

comply with this Section 13.6shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of

a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c)of this Section 13.6.  For the

avoidance of doubt, in case of an assignment to a new Lender pursuant to this Section 13.6, (i) the

Administrative Agent, the new Lender and other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the

same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the new Lender been

an original Lender signatory to this Agreement with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by

it as a result of the assignment and to the extent of the assignment the assigning Lender shall each be

released from further obligations under the Credit Documents and (ii) the benefit of each Security

Document shall be maintained in favor of the new Lender.

(iv)The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the

Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office in the United States a copy of each

Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses

of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans (and stated interest amounts)

and any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit owing to each Lender

pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be

conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the

Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register

pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding

notice to the contrary, and no assignment shall be effective until recorded in the Register pursuant to this

Section 13.6(b)(iv).  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent,

the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and, with respect to itself, any

Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  This Section

13.6(b)(iv)shall be construed so that all Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the

meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury regulations (or

any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury regulations).

(v)Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an

assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and applicable

tax forms (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee

referred to in clause (b)of this Section 13.6and any written consent to such assignment required by

clause (b)of this Section 13.6, the Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and

Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register.  No assignment, whether or not

evidenced by a promissory note, shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been

recorded in the Register as provided in this clause (b)(v).

(c)(i)Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative

Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, sell participations to one or more banks or

other entities (other than (x) a natural person, (y) Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and

-190-

Affiliates and (z) any Defaulting Lender or any Disqualified Lender provided, however, that,

notwithstanding clause (z)hereof, participations may be sold to Disqualified Lenders unless a list of

Disqualified Lenders has been made available to all Lenders) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of

such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments

and the Loans owing to it); providedthat (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall

remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the

performance of such obligations, and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit

Issuer and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection

with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, the

Administrative Agent shall bear no responsibility or liability for monitoring and enforcing the list of

Disqualified Lenders or the sales of participations thereto at any time.  Any agreement or instrument

pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole

right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision

of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; providedthat such agreement or instrument may

provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,

modification or waiver described in clauses (x)(i), (v)and (vi)of the second proviso to Section 13.1that

affects such Participant.  Subject to clause (c)(ii)of this Section 13.6, the Borrower agrees that each

Participant shall be entitled to the benefits and obligations of Sections 2.10, 2.11and 5.4to the same

extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections as though it

were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b)of this Section 13.6,

including the requirements of clause (e)of Section 5.4) (it being agreed that any documentation required

under Section 5.4(e)shall be provided to the participating Lender)).  To the extent permitted by law, each

Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.8(b)as though it were a Lender; provided

such Participant shall be subject to Section 13.8(a)as though it were a Lender.

(ii)A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under

Section 2.10, 2.11or 5.4than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the sale of

such the participation sold to such Participant unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is

made with the Borrower’s prior written consent except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater

payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable

participation.  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 amounts) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other

obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”).  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.  No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any

portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any

information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other

obligations under any Credit Document) 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 and Section 1.163-5(b) of the proposed

United States Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor sections). For the

avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no

responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d)Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at

any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to

secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal

Reserve Bank, or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender and this Section 13.6shall not

apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; providedthat no such pledge or assignment

-191-

of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such

pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e)Subject to Section 13.16, the Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any

Participant, secured creditor of such Lender or assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective

Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and its

Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates

pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and

its Affiliates in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates prior to

becoming a party to this Agreement.

(f)The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any

Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in

electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually

executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and

as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National

Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state

laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(g)SPV Lender.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a

“Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in

writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the

option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise

be obligated to make the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; providedthat (i) nothing herein shall

constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such

option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to

make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof.  The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize

the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such

Granting Lender and such SPV shall have the rights of a Lender hereunder.  Each party hereto hereby

agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement

(all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender).  In furtherance of the foregoing, each party

hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the

date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other

senior indebtedness of any SPV, it shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting

against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings

under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the

contrary contained in this Section 13.6, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written

consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor,

assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions

(consented to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) other than a Disqualified Lender providing

liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of

Loans and (ii) subject to Section 13.16, disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information

relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or

credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV.  This Section 13.6(g)may not be amended without the

written consent of the SPV.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement but subject to the

following sentence, each SPV shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11and 5.4to the same

extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections as though it

were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b)of this Section 13.6,

including the requirements of clause (e)of Section 5.4(it being agreed that any documentation required

under Section 5.4(e)shall be provided to the Granting Lender)). Notwithstanding the prior sentence, an

SPV shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, 2.11or 5.4than its Granting

-192-

Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the grant to such SPV, unless such grant to such SPV is

made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (x) any Lender may, at any

time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Term Loans

to Holdings, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or an Affiliated Lender and (y) Holdings, the Borrower and

any Subsidiary may, from time to time, purchase or prepay Term Loans, in each case, on a non-pro rata

basis through (1) Dutch auction procedures open to all applicable Lenders on a pro rata basis in

accordance with customary procedures to be agreed between Holdings or the Borrower and the Auction

Agent or (2) non-pro rata purchases or assignments; providedthat:

(i)any Loans or Commitments acquired by Holdings, the Borrower or any other

Subsidiary shall be retired and cancelled promptly upon the acquisition thereof;

(ii)with respect to an assignment to, or purchase by, Holdings, the Borrower or any

Subsidiary, (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (B) no proceeds of

Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans may be used to fund such assignment or purchase.

(iii)by its acquisition of Loans or Commitments, an Affiliated Lender shall be

deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that:

(A)it shall not have any right to (i) attend or participate in (including, in each

case, by telephone) any meeting (including “Lender only” meetings) or discussions (or portion thereof)

among the Administrative Agent or any Lender to which representatives of the Borrower is not then

present, (ii) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or

any Communication by or among the Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders or any other

material which is “Lender only”, except to the extent such information or materials have been made

available to the Borrower or its representatives (and in any case, other than the right to receive notices of

prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans required to be delivered to Lenders

pursuant to Section 2) or receive any advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent or (iii) make any

challenge to the Administrative Agent’s or any other Lender’s attorney-client privilege on the basis of its

status as a Lender and waives its rights to bring actions (in its capacity as a Lender) against the

Administrative Agent; and

(B)except with respect to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or

other action (I) in Section 13.1requiring the consent of all Lenders, all Lenders directly and adversely

affected or specifically such Lender, (II) that alters an Affiliated Lender’s pro rata share of any payments

given to all Lenders, or (III) affects the Affiliated Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) in a manner that is

disproportionate to the effect on any Lender in the same Class, the Loans held by an Affiliated Lender

shall be disregarded in both the numerator and denominator in the calculation of any Lender vote (and, in

the case of a plan of reorganization that does not affect the Affiliated Lender in a manner that is materially

adverse to such Affiliated Lender relative to other Lenders, shall be deemed to have voted its interest in

the Term Loans in the same proportion as the other Lenders) (and shall be deemed to have been voted in

the same percentage as all other applicable Lenders voted if necessary to give legal effect to this

paragraph); and

(iv)(x) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held at any one time by

Affiliated Lenders may not exceed 25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding

at the time of such purchase and (y) Affiliated Lenders (other than Affiliated Institutional Lenders) shall

not constitute more than 49% in number of the total number of Term Loan Lenders;

-193-

(v)any such Loans acquired by an Affiliated Lender may, with the consent of the

Borrower, be contributed to the Borrower and exchanged for debt or equity securities that are otherwise

permitted to be issued at such time (and such Loans or Commitments shall be retired and cancelled

promptly);

(vi)the Affiliated Lender shall clearly identify itself as an Affiliated Lender in any

Assignment and Acceptance executed in connection with such purchases or sales and each such

Assignment and Acceptance shall contain customary “big boy” representations; and

(vii)in the event that any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code shall be instituted by

or against any Borrower or any other Guarantor, each Affiliated Lender shall acknowledge and agree that

they are each “insiders” under Section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code and, as such, the claims

associated with the Loans and Commitments owned by it shall not be included in determining whether the

applicable class of creditors holding such claims has voted to accept a proposed plan for purposes of

Section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code, or, alternatively, to the extent that the foregoing designation

is deemed unenforceable for any reason, each Affiliated Lender shall vote in such proceedings in the

same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by those Lenders who are not

Affiliated Lenders.

For avoidance of doubt, the foregoing limitations shall not be applicable to Affiliated Institutional

Lenders.  None of the Borrower, Holdings, any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Affiliated Lender shall

be required to make any representation that it is not in possession of information which is not publicly

available and/or material with respect to Holdings, the Borrower and its respective Subsidiaries or their

respective securities for purposes of foreign, U.S. federal and state securities laws.

(viii)Notwithstanding anything in Section 13.1or the definition of “Required

Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (i) consented

(or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of

the terms of any Credit Document or any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on

any matter related to any Credit Document or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any

Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Credit

Document, all Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans held by

Affiliated Institutional Lender may not account for more than 49.9% (pro rata among such Affiliated

Institutional Lenders) of the Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans of

consenting Lenders included in determining whether the Required Lenders have consented to any action

pursuant to Section 13.1.

13.7Replacements of Lenders Under Certain Circumstances.

(a)The Borrower shall be permitted (x) to replace any Lender or (y) terminate the

Commitment of such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, and (1) in the case of a

Lender (other than the Letter of Credit Issuer), repay all Obligations of the Borrower due and owing to

such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date and

(2) in the case of the Letter of Credit Issuer, repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Letter of

Credit Issuer relating to the Loans and participations held by the Letter of Credit Issuer as of such

termination date and cancel or backstop on terms satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer any Letters of

Credit issued by it that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Sections 2.10or 5.4,

and such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, has declined or is unable to designate a

different Lending Office in accordance with Section 2.12, (b) is affected in the manner described in

Section 2.10(a)(iii)and as a result thereof any of the actions described in such Section is required to be

taken, or (c) becomes a Defaulting Lender, with a replacement bank or other financial institution;

providedthat (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirements of Law, (ii) no Specified

-194-

Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the Borrower

shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans, accrued interest

thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the Credit Documents

including (as the case may be) pursuant to Sections 2.10, 2.11or 5.4, as the case may be, owing to such

Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Affiliated Lender or Approved Fund, and the terms and conditions of

such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (v) the replacement bank

or institution, if not already a Lender shall be subject to the provisions of Section 13.6(b), (vi) the

replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of

Section 13.6(providedthat unless otherwise agreed the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration

and processing fee referred to therein), and (vii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver

of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the

replaced Lender.

(b)If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a

proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that pursuant to the terms of Section 13.1requires

the consent of either (i) all of the Lenders directly and adversely affected or (ii) all of the Lenders, and, in

each case, with respect to which the Required Lenders (or at least 50.1% of the directly and adversely

affected Lenders) shall have granted their consent, then, the Borrower has the right (unless such Non-

Consenting Lender grants such consent) to the extent not otherwise replaced, to replace such Non-

Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans, and its Commitments

hereunder to one or more Eligible Assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (to the

extent such consent would be required under Section 13.6)or to terminate the Commitment of such

Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, and (1) in the case of a Lender (other than the

Letter of Credit Issuer), repay all Obligations of the Borrower due and owing to such Lender relating to

the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date and (2) in the case of the

Letter of Credit Issuer, repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to the Letter of Credit Issuer relating

to the Loans and participations held by the Letter of Credit Issuer as of such termination date and cancel

or backstop on terms satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer any Letters of Credit issued by it);

providedthat (a) all Obligations hereunder of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being

replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment

including any amounts that such Lender may be owed pursuant to Section 2.11, and (b) the replacement

Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the

principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon plus accrued fees and all other amounts

payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents.  In connection with any such assignment,

the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall

otherwise comply with Section 13.6.

(c)Each party hereto agrees that (i) an assignment required pursuant to this Section 13.7may

be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the Borrower, the Administrative

Agent and the assignee and (ii) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto

in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to an be bound by the

terms thereof; provided, that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such

assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as

reasonably requested by the applicable Lender, provided furtherthat any such documents shall be without

recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13.7 to the contrary, (i)  the Lender that acts as

the Letter of Credit Issuer may not be replaced hereunder at any time it has any Letter of Credit

outstanding hereunder unless arrangements satisfactory to such Lender (including the furnishing of a

backstop standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer, reasonably satisfactory to

-195-

the Letter of Credit Issuer or the depositing of Cash Collateral into a Cash Collateral account in amounts

and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer) have been made with

respect to such outstanding Letter of Credit and (ii) the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may

not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 12.9.

13.8Adjustments; Set-Off.

(a)If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain

payment in respect of (i) Obligations in respect of any of the Credit Facilities due and payable to such

Lender hereunder and under the other Credit Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share

(according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at

such time to (B) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in respect of the Credit Facilities due and

payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Credit Documents at such time) of payments on

account of the Obligations in respect of the Credit Facilities due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and

under the other Credit Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (ii) Obligations

in respect of any of the Credit Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and

under the other Credit Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion

of (A) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (B)

the aggregate amount of the Obligations in respect of the Credit Facilities owing (but not due and

payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Credit Documents at such time) of payments on

account of the Obligations in respect of the Credit Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to all

Lenders hereunder and under the other Credit Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at

such time, then, in each case under clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Lender receiving such greater proportion

shall (A) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (B) purchase (for cash at face value)

participations in the Loans and sub-participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans of the other

Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments

shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations in respect

of the Credit Facilities then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the

Lenders, as the case may be, providedthat:

(i)if any such participations or sub-participations are purchased and all or any

portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or sub-participations shall be

rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii)the provisions of this Section 13.8shall not be construed to apply to (A) any

payment made by or on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of

this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B)

the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 3.8, or (C) any payment obtained by a Lender as

consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or sub-participations in L/

C Obligations or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to any Credit

Party or any Affiliate thereof that does not comply with Section 13.6(h).

(b)After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to

any rights and remedies provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the

Credit Parties but with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, any such notice being expressly

waived by the Credit Parties to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due

and payable by the Credit Parties hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise)

to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or

demand, provisional or final) (other than escrow, payroll, trust, tax, fiduciary, employee health and

benefits pension, 401(k), and petty cash accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or

claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or

-196-

unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any Affiliate, branch or agency thereof to or for

the credit or the account of the Credit Parties.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Credit Parties

and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; providedthat

the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

13.9Counterparts.  This Agreement, any Credit Document and any other Communication,

including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may

be executed using Electronic Signatures.  Each of the Credit Parties and each of the Administrative Agent

and each Lender agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be

valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any

Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding

obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the

same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered.   Any Communication may be

executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic

counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication.  For the avoidance of doubt,

the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance of a manually

signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF

format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission,

delivery and/or retention. The Administrative Agent and each of the Lender Recipient Parties may, at its

option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record

(“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business,

and destroy the original paper document.  All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record,

including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same

legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to

the contrary, neither the Administrative Agent, Letter of Credit Issuer nor Swingline Lender is under any

obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by

such Person pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to

the extent the Administrative Agent, Letter of Credit Issuer and/or Swingline Lender has agreed to accept

such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lender Recipient Parties shall be

entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Credit Party

and/or any Lender without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or

any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart. 

Neither the Administrative Agent, Letter of Credit Issuer nor Swingline Lender shall be

responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability,

effectiveness or genuineness of any Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document

(including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s, Letter of Credit

Issuer’s or Swingline Lender’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf

or any other electronic means). The Administrative Agent, Letter of Credit Issuer and Swingline Lender

shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other

Credit Document by acting upon, any Communication (which writing may be a fax, any electronic

message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution or signed using an Electronic Signature)

or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or

otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Credit

Documents for being the maker thereof).

Each of the Credit Parties and each Lender hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to

contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Credit Document based

solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement or such other Credit Document, and (ii)

waives any claim against the Administrative Agent and each Lender for any liabilities arising solely from

the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including any

-197-

liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Credit Parties to use any available security measures in

connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

13.10Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any

jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or

unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or

unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any

other jurisdiction.

13.11Integration.  This Agreement and the other Credit Documents represent the agreement of

Holdings, the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to

the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by

Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any Lender relative to subject

matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Credit Documents.

Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Borrower may each, in its

discretion, agree to accept notices and other Communications to it hereunder by electronic

communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be

limited to particular notices or Communications.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other Communications sent

to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the

-201-

intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other

written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other Communication is not sent during the

normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or Communication shall be deemed to have been sent

at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or Communications

posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the

intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such

notice or Communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(a)Each of Holdings and the Borrower further agrees that any Agent may make the

Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Intralinks or a substantially

similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”), so long as the access to such Platform (i) is

limited to the Agents, the Lenders and Transferees or prospective Transferees and (ii) remains subject to

the confidentiality requirements set forth in Section 13.16.

(b)THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”  THE AGENT

PARTIES DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY MATERIALS OR

INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE CREDIT PARTIES (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, the

“Agent Parties”and each an “Agent Party”) have any liability to the Borrower, 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 the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower

Materials through the internet, except to the extent the liability of any Agent Party resulted from such

Agent Party’s (or any of its Related Parties’ (other than any trustee or advisor)) gross negligence, bad

faith or willful misconduct or material breach of the Credit Documents as determined in the final non-

appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c)Each of Holdings and the Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that certain of the

Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (Lenders that do not wish to receive material nonpublic

information with respect to Holdings and the Borrower, the Subsidiaries or their securities) and, if

documents or notices required to be delivered pursuant to the Credit Documents or otherwise are being

distributed through the Platform, any document or notice that Holdings or the Borrower has indicated

contains only publicly available information with respect to Holdings or the Borrower may be posted on

that portion of the Platform designated for such public-side Lenders.  If Holdings or the Borrower has not

indicated whether a document or notice delivered contains only publicly available information, the

Administrative Agent shall post such document or notice solely on that portion of the Platform designated

for Lenders who wish to receive material nonpublic information with respect to Holdings, the Borrower,

the Subsidiaries and their securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Holdings and the Borrower

shall use commercially reasonable efforts to indicate whether any document or notice contains only

publicly available information; provided, however, that the following documents shall be deemed to be

marked “PUBLIC,” unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such

document contains material nonpublic information:  (1) the Credit Documents, (2) any notification of

changes in the terms of the Credit Facility and (3) all financial statements and certificates delivered

pursuant to Sections 9.1(a),(b)and (d).

13.18USA PATRIOT Act.  Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on

behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Credit Party that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA

-202-

PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub.  L. 107 56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is

required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information

includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender or

the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act

and the Borrower in accordance with the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

13.19Judgment Currency.  In respect of any judgment or order given or made for any amount

due under this Agreement or any other Credit Document that is expressed and paid in a currency (the

“judgment currency”) other than Dollars, the Credit Parties will indemnify Administrative Agent, Letter

of Credit Issuer and any Lender against any loss incurred by them as a result of any variation as between

(i) the rate of exchange at which the Dollar amount is converted into the judgment currency for the

purpose of such judgment or order and (ii) the rate of exchange, as quoted by Administrative Agent or by

a known dealer in the judgment currency that is designated by Administrative Agent, at which

Administrative Agent, Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender is able to purchase Dollars with the amount

of the judgment currency actually received by Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or such

Lender.  If the amount of Dollars so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the

Administrative Agent in Dollars, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to

the Borrower (or any other person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).  The foregoing

indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Credit Parties and shall survive

any termination of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and shall continue in full force and

effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid.  The term “rate of exchange” shall

include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion

into Dollars.

13.20Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Credit Party

is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such

payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be

fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such

Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party, in connection

with any proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof

originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such

payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay

to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid

by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a

rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the

Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations

and the termination of this Agreement.

13.21No Fiduciary Duty.  Each Agent, each Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer and their

respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have

economic interests that conflict with those of the Credit Parties, their equity holders and/or their affiliates.

Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an

advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the

one hand, and such Credit Party, its equity holders or its affiliates, on the other.  The Credit Parties

acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the

exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions

between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection

therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary

responsibility in favor of any Credit Party, its equity holders or its affiliates with respect to the

transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the

process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will

-203-

advise any Credit Party, its equity holders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any

Credit Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (y) each Lender is

acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Credit Party, its management, equity

holders or creditors.  Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and

financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own

independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.  Each Credit

Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect

or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Credit Party, in connection with such transaction or the process

leading thereto.

13.22Nature of Obligations of the Borrower.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, it is

understood and agreed by the various parties to this Agreement that all of the Borrower’s Obligations to

repay principal of, interest on, and all other amounts with respect to, all Loans, L/C Obligations and all

other Obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, all fees,

indemnities, taxes and other Obligations in connection therewith or in connection with the related

Commitments) shall be guaranteed pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms of, the Guarantee.

(b)The obligations of the Borrower with respect to the Borrower’s Obligations are

independent of the obligations of any Guarantor under its guaranty of the Borrower’s Obligations, and a

separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Borrower, whether or not any such

Guarantor is joined in any such action or actions.  The Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by

law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof.

(c)The Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Lenders without notice or

demand (except as shall be required by the Credit Documents and applicable statute that cannot be

waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

(i)exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Guarantor or others or

otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(ii)apply any sums paid by any other Person, howsoever realized or otherwise

received to or for the account of the Borrower to any liability or liabilities of such other Person regardless

of what liability or liabilities of such other Person remain unpaid; and/or

(iii)consent to or waive any breach of, or act, omission or default under, this

Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein, or

otherwise, by any such or other Person.

(d)It is not necessary for the Administrative Agent or any Lender to inquire into the capacity

or powers of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, members, partners or agents

acting or purporting to act on its behalf.

(e)The Borrower waives any right to require the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders

to (i) proceed against any Guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held

from any Guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or

the Lenders’ power whatsoever.  The Borrower waives any defense based on or arising out of suretyship

or any impairment of security held from the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party or on or arising

out of any defense of any Guarantor or any other party other than payment in full in cash of the

Obligations of the Credit Parties, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the

-204-

disability of any Guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Obligations of the Borrower

or any part thereof from any cause, in each case other than as a result of the payment in full in cash of the

Obligations of the Borrower.

(f)All provisions contained in any Credit Document shall be interpreted consistently with

this Section 13.22to the extent possible.

13.23Cashless Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this

Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans in connection

with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this

Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative

Agent and such Lender.

13.24Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement

or understanding among any parties to any Credit Document, each party hereto acknowledges that any

liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document may be subject to the

Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable 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 the applicable Resolution

Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an

Affected Financial Institution; and

(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 AffectedFinancial Institution, its parent entity, 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

Credit Document; or

(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the

Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicableResolution Authority.

13.25Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.

To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for

Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit

Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with

respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit

Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together

with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such

Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the

Credit Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State

of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”)

becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported

QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such

-205-

Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC

or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer

would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit

Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United

States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered

Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the

Credit Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that

may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such

Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and

the Credit Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties

with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to

a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
