Each Bridge Advance shall be funded in Sterling in an aggregate amount equal to the Borrowing Minimum or a Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof and shall consist of Advances of the same Type made simultaneously the same day by the Lenders ratably according to their relevant respective Commitments.

It is understood and agreed that the Bridge Advances that are converted into Extended Advances constitute the same Indebtedness as such Bridge Advances so converted and that no novation shall be effected by any such conversion. Upon such Rollover Conversion (or, if later, immediately following the end of the Certain Funds Period), the Conversion Fee shall be due and payable.

(c) Upon conversion of the Bridge Advances into Extended Advances, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall cancel on its records or in the Register, as applicable, a principal amount of the

Bridge Advances held by such Lender corresponding to the principal amount of Extended Advances issued by such Lender, which corresponding principal amount of Bridge Advances shall be satisfied by the conversion of such Bridge Advances into Extended Advances in accordance with Section 2.01(b). Amounts repaid in respect of Extended Advances may not be reborrowed.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon and after the Rollover Conversion, the Extended Advances shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement upon the same terms as the Bridge Advances (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 3.04), except that (i) the Extended Advances shall mature on the Extended Advance Maturity Date, (ii) the Extended Advances shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Total Cap as in effect from time to time and determined in accordance with Section 2.08(a) and (iii) the covenants that would have been applicable to the Demand Securities, had they been issued, will be applicable to the Extended Advances in lieu of the corresponding provisions herein. Each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable best efforts to enter into an amendment (the “Rollover Amendment”) reflecting the foregoing on or before the date of such Rollover Conversion.

(a) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice by the Borrower, given not later than ~~(x)~~ 9:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances or (y) 9:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by telecopier or other electronic communication. Each notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, including by telecopier (or other electronic communication) in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) ~~and the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing~~, (ii) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, (iii) initial Interest Period for such Advance if such Borrowing is to consist of Eurocurrency Rate Advances and (iv) account or accounts in which the proceeds of the Borrowing should be credited. Each Lender shall, before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower in immediately available funds to the account or accounts specified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in the Notice of Borrowing relating to the applicable Borrowing.

(b) Anything in Section 2.02(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower may not select Eurocurrency Rate Advances if the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.08 or 2.12 and (ii) the Advances may not be outstanding as part of more than ten separate Borrowings.

(c) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any reasonable loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in any Notice of Borrowing for a Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any reasonable loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02(a) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay or to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is paid or repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the higher of (A) the interest rate applicable at the time to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (B) the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent in respect of such amount and (ii) in the case of 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. 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 shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding principal amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. 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.

(e) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

(f) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Advance to be made by such Lender as provided herein, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to such Borrowing are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

SECTION 2.03 Notes. At the request of any Lender, the Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of and interest on all Bridge Advances or Extended Advances made to it by such Lender shall be evidenced, (i) if Bridge Advances, by a promissory note (each, a “Bridge Note” and, collectively, the “Bridge Notes”) duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 hereto, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith, and (ii) if Extended Advances, by a promissory note (each, an “Extended Note” and, collectively, the “Extended Notes”) duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith.

(c) Defaulting Lender Commitment Reductions. The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitments of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), it being understood that notwithstanding such Commitment termination, the provisions of Section 2.19(c) will continue to apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of each such determination of the Total Cap and, if applicable, the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of Section 2.07(a)(i) or 2.07(a)(ii).

(b) If, with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Advances, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means (including, without limitation, by means of an Interpolated Rate) do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate for an Interest Period or (ii) the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that (x) they are unable to obtain matching deposits in the London inter-bank market at or about 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the second Business Day prior to the making of a Borrowing in sufficient amounts to fund their respective Advances as a part of such Borrowing during its Interest Period or (y) the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Required Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurocurrency Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (A) the Borrower will, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, either, (x) prepay such Advances or (y) Convert such Advances into Base Rate Advances and (B) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(c) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Advances made to the Borrower in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such Eurocurrency Rate Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into Base Rate Advances.

(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, be Converted into a Base Rate Advance (unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent) and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances, shall be suspended.

SECTION 2.09 Optional Conversion of Advances. The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 A.M. (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion (or in the case of a Conversion into Base Rate Advances, the Business Day prior) and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.08 and 2.12, Convert all Advances denominated in Dollars made to the Borrower of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Advances of the other Type; provided, however, that (i) any Conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances, (ii) any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.01 and (iii) no Conversion of any Advances shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(b). Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion (which

shall be a Business Day), (ii) the Advances to be Converted and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower giving such notice.

SECTION 2.10 Optional Prepayments of Advances. The Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the proposed prepayment, given not later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such proposed prepayment (in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances), and not later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) at least two Business Days prior to the date of such proposed prepayment (in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances), and if such notice is given, the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing made to the Borrower in whole or ratably in part, and in the case of any Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of the Borrowing Minimum or a Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof and (ii) if any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance is made on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Advance, the Borrower shall also pay any amount owing pursuant to Section 9.04(c); and provided, further, that, subject to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding proviso, any such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the consummation of a specific transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower if such condition is not satisfied.

(a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any directive, guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority including, without limitation, any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case after the ~~date hereof~~Effective Date (or with respect to any Lender (or the Administrative Agent), if later, the date on which such Lender (or the Administrative Agent) becomes a Lender (or the Administrative Agent)), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender or the Administrative Agent of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Advances (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.11 any such increased costs resulting from (i) Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes as to which such Lender is indemnified under Section 2.14 and (ii) Excluded Taxes), then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent, if applicable), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender (or for its own account, if applicable) additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent for such increased cost. A certificate describing such increased costs in reasonable detail delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If any Lender reasonably determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any directive, guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority including, without limitation, any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case promulgated or given after the ~~date hereof~~Effective Date (or with respect to any Lender, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender), affects or would affect the amount of capital, insurance or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and that the amount of such capital, insurance or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s Commitment and other commitments of this type, the Borrower shall, from time to time upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent

that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital, insurance or liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s Advances or Commitment. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.11 to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.11, (A) the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules and regulations issued thereunder or in connection therewith or in implementation thereof and (B) all requests, rules, guidelines and directions promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any similar or successor agency, or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to Basel III) shall be deemed to have been enacted following the ~~date hereof~~Effective Date (or with respect to any Lender, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender); provided that no Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) unless such Lender is making corresponding demands on similarly situated borrowers in comparable credit facilities to which such Lender is a party.

SECTION 2.12 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (a) if any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority, including without limitation, any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority, asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances hereunder, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance of such Lender will automatically upon such notification be Converted into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of such Lender to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or to Convert Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and such Lender that the circumstances set forth in this clause (a) no longer exist and (b) if Lenders constituting the Required Lenders shall notify the Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority, including without limitation, any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority, asserts that it is unlawful, for each Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances hereunder, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance of such Lender will automatically upon such notification be Converted into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of such Lender to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or to Convert Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender that the circumstances set forth in this clause (b) no longer exist.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it under this Agreement not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars (in the case of principal of or interest on Advances to be repaid) or in Sterling (in the case of any fees payable pursuant to this Agreement) to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office in same day funds. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.02(c), 2.07(c), 2.11, 2.12, 2.14, 2.15 or 9.04(c)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment

and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the assignor for amounts which have accrued to but excluding the effective date of such assignment and to the assignee for amounts which have accrued from and after the effective date of such assignment. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.

(b) The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender by the Borrower is not made when due hereunder, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such Lender any amount so due, unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such Lender.

(c) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurocurrency Rate or the Federal Funds Rate (other than determinations of the Base Rate made at any time by reference to the Federal Funds Rate) shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent, following prompt notice thereof, forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

(a) Any and all payments by or on behalf of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes, unless otherwise required by applicable law. If the Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Lender or any Agent, (i) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iii) the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as may be necessary so that after all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) have been made, such Lender (or the Agent receiving payments for its own account) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

(b) In addition, without duplication of any other obligation set forth in this Section 2.14, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp and documentary Taxes and charges or similar levies

that arise from any payment made by it under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or performance under, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document, excluding any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed solely as a result of an assignment or the designation of a new Applicable Lending Office (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Without duplication of any other obligation set forth in this Section 2.14, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and each Agent for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.14) imposed on or paid by such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared in good faith and delivered to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent or Lender (or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of a Lender) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.07(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agent) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate describing in reasonable detail 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 any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d). The agreements in this Section 2.14(d) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which the Borrower is responsible under this Section 2.14, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address as specified pursuant to Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to 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. Each Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation (including any specific documents required below in Section 2.14(f)(ii) expired, obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its inability to do so.

(A) any Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (or, in the case of any participant, on or before the date such participant purchases the related participation) (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

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

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

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this

Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any participant, on or before the date such Lender purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower and 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 or the Administrative Agent to comply with its 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. To the extent that the relevant documentation provided pursuant to this paragraph is rendered obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect as a result of changes in circumstances with respect to the status of a Lender, such Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, deliver to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent revised and/or updated documentation sufficient for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to confirm as to whether such Lender has complied with their respective obligations under FATCA. Solely for the purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the ~~date of this Agreement~~Effective Date.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.14(f), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(g) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Borrower and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.14(f).

(h) In the event that an additional payment is made under Section 2.14(a) or 2.14(c) for the account of any Lender and such Lender, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, determines that it has irrevocably received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid or payable by it in respect of or calculated with reference to the deduction or withholding giving rise to such additional payment, such Lender shall, to the extent that it determines that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such refund, pay to the Borrower within a reasonable period such amount (net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund); provided that the relevant Loan Party, upon the request of such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) to such Lender in the event such Lender is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority); provided further such Lender shall, in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith, have determined that by paying such refund will leave such Lender (after such payment) in no worse position than it would have been had the relevant deduction or withholding not been made. Nothing contained in this Section 2.14(h) shall (i) interfere with the right of a Lender to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit or (ii) oblige any Lender to disclose any information relating to its tax returns, tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or (iii) require any Lender to take or refrain from taking any action that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.

SECTION 2.15 Sharing of Payments, Etc. Subject to Section 2.19 in the case of a Defaulting Lender, if any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of the Advances owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.02(c), 2.07(c), 2.11, 2.12, 2.14 or 9.04(c)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that, if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (b) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The provisions of this Section 2.15 shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement as in effect from time to time or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances to any assignee or participant permitted hereunder.

SECTION 2.16 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances shall be available, and the Borrower agrees that it shall apply such proceeds, solely towards Certain Funds Purposes.

(a) The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) shall include (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder by the Borrower, the Type and Class of Advances comprising such Borrowing and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.

(b) Entries made reasonably and in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit, expand or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.

(a) Subject to satisfaction of the provisions of this Section 2.18, at any time after the date of the Rollover Conversion (each, an “Exchange Date”), at the option of the applicable Lender, the Extended Advances of such Lender may be exchanged for exchange notes (individually, an “Exchange Note” and collectively, the “Exchange Notes”) in a Dollar-for-Dollar exchange at par value for an equal principal amount of all or a portion of its outstanding Extended Advances hereunder; provided, however, that (i) such

Lender’s Extended Advances shall only be exchanged for Exchange Notes hereunder following the occurrence of an Exchange Trigger Event, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower and the Lenders written notice of the occurrence of an Exchange Trigger Event (an “Exchange Trigger Event Notice”) not less than five Business Days (or ten Business Days in the case of the first Exchange Trigger Event) prior to an Exchange Date for such Lender’s Extended Advances to be exchanged for Exchange Notes on such Exchange Date (an “Exchange Event”) and the Exchange Event shall occur on such fifth (or tenth, as applicable) Business Day after such Exchange Trigger Event Notice and (iii) the Borrower shall not be required to effectuate more than one Exchange Event in any calendar month.

(b) Such Lender shall provide the Administrative Agent prior written notice of such election (an “Exchange Notice”) at least five Business Days prior to an Exchange Date (or ten Business Days if the notice is provided prior to the first Exchange Trigger Event Notice) (or such shorter period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent), with a copy to the Exchange Note Trustee. Each Lender’s Exchange Notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Extended Advances that such Lender desires to exchange for Exchange Notes pursuant to this Section 2.18, which shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000, or, if less, all outstanding remaining Extended Advances held by such Lender. Such Exchange Notes shall bear a fixed rate of interest at the Total Cap as in effect at the close of business on the Business Day prior to the relevant Exchange Date.

(c) On each Exchange Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lender any accrued and unpaid interest on such Lender’s Extended Advances being exchanged for Exchange Notes on such date. On each Exchange Date, the Borrower shall execute and deliver, and use reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Note Trustee to authenticate and deliver, an Exchange Note in the principal amount equal to 100% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Extended Advances (or portion thereof) for which each such Exchange Note is being exchanged. The Exchange Notes shall be governed by the Exchange Note Indenture. Upon issuance of the Exchange Notes in accordance with this Section 2.18, a corresponding amount of the Extended Advances of such exchanging Lenders shall be deemed to have been cancelled. If a Default (but not an Event of Default) shall have occurred and be continuing on the Exchange Date, any notices given or cure periods commenced while the Extended Advances were outstanding shall be deemed given or commenced (as of the actual dates thereof) for all purposes with respect to the Exchange Notes (with the same effect as if the Exchange Notes had been outstanding as of the actual dates thereof).

(d) The Borrower shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after being requested to do so by one or more of the Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement at any time following the first Exchange Trigger Event and no later than the applicable Exchange Date, (i) select a bank or trust company to act as trustee for the Exchange Notes (the “Exchange Note Trustee”), (ii) enter into the Exchange Note Indenture and an exchange agreement containing provisions customary for Rule 144A transactions with registration rights, (iii) use reasonable best efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered to the ~~Arranger~~Arrangers such legal opinions and accountants’ “comfort letters” addressed to the ~~Arranger~~Arrangers, 10b-5 letters covering such customary matters as reasonably requested by the ~~Arranger~~Arrangers and such certificates as the ~~Arranger~~Arrangers may reasonably request as would be customary in Rule 144A offerings with registration rights, (iv) deliver a customary offering memorandum relating to the resale of Exchange Notes containing all customary information (other than a “description of notes” and other information customarily provided by underwriters or their counsel), including historical financial statements, pro forma financial statements and business and other financial data of the type and form that are customarily included Rule 144A offering circulars for similar debt securities, and (v) use reasonable best efforts to take such other actions, and cause its advisors, auditors and counsel to take such actions, as reasonably requested by the ~~Arranger~~Arrangers in connection with issuances or resales of Exchange Notes. The Exchange Note Trustee shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, in good standing, that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and is subject to supervision or examination by a Federal or state authority and which has a combined capital and surplus of not less than $500,000,000.

(e) Nothing in this Section 2.18 shall prevent or limit the ability of the Borrower to repay or refinance the Advances in any other manner not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (it being understood that the determination of whether a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender shall be made as described in Section 2.19(b)):

(i) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder, and the Commitment and the outstanding Advances of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definition of “Required Lenders” will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period); provided that any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; and

(ii) the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, require such Defaulting Lender to assign and delegate its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.07.

(b) If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender; provided that no

adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such 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 Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) Any payment of principal, interest or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 6.01 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.05 shall be applied at such time or times as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent; third, as the Borrower may request, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. 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 otherwise pursuant to this Section 2.19(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(a) Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge that will result in, and will use reasonable best efforts available to it (and not, in such Lender’s good faith judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender) to mitigate or avoid, (i) any obligation by the Borrower to pay any amount pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.14 or (ii) the occurrence of any circumstance described in Section 2.12 (and, if any Lender has given notice of any such event described in clause (i) or (ii) above and thereafter such event ceases to exist, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent). In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender will designate a different funding office if such designation will avoid (or reduce the cost to the Borrower of) any event described in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence and such designation will not, in such Lender’s good faith judgment, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender fails to notify the Borrower of any event or circumstance which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to Section 2.11 within 180 days after such Lender obtains knowledge of such event or circumstance, then such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation from the Borrower for any amount arising prior to the date which is 180 days before the date on which such Lender notifies the Borrower of such event or circumstance.

(c) If any Lender has made a demand for payment pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.14, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, require such Lender to assign and delegate its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.07.

(ii) Provide evidence that a Scheme Circular or (if the Acquisition is effected by way of a Takeover Offer) a Takeover Offer Document is issued and dispatched as soon as is reasonably practicable and in any event within 28 days (or such longer period as may be agreed with the Panel) after the issuance of the Press Release or Offer Press Announcement, as applicable unless, during that period the Borrower or Bidco has elected to convert the Acquisition from a Scheme to a Takeover Offer, or vice versa, in which case the Scheme Circular or Takeover Offer Document, as applicable, shall be issued and dispatched as soon as is reasonably practicable and in any event within 28 days (or such longer period as may be agreed with the Panel) after the issuance of the Press Release or Offer Press Announcement, as applicable.

adverse to the interests of the Lenders (or where the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) has been given).

(I) in the event of a Change of Control, and if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the payment, purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor, in each case at a purchase price not greater than 101% of the principal amount of such Subordinated Indebtedness, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon;

(J) in the event of an Asset Sale that requires the Borrower to offer to prepay Advances pursuant to Section 5.02(e), and if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the payment, purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor, in each case at a purchase price not greater than 100% of the principal amount of such Subordinated Indebtedness, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the aggregate amount of all such payments, purchases, redemptions, defeasances or other acquisitions or retirements of all such Subordinated Indebtedness may not exceed the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds amount remaining after the Borrower has complied with Section 5.02(e)(i)(C);

(K) the conversion, repayment, repurchase, redemption or other retirement (whether for cash or otherwise) of, or the payment of interest in respect of, the 4.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2016; and

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may (i) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on or in respect of shares of the Borrower’s Capital Stock to holders of such Capital Stock, so long as (A)(1) such dividend or distribution is intended to be part of a distribution of the Borrower’s earnings and profits to satisfy Section 857(a)(2) of the Code, whether such dividend or distribution is made before, during or after the first taxable year the Borrower intends in good faith to be a REIT or (2) the Borrower believes in good faith that it qualifies as a “real estate investment trust” under Section 856 of the Code and that the declaration or payment of such dividend or making of such distribution is necessary either to maintain the Borrower’s status as a REIT for any calendar year or, with respect to any calendar year in which the Borrower intends to qualify as REIT, to enable the Borrower to avoid payment of any corporate U.S. Federal, state or local income tax for any calendar year that would otherwise be required and could be avoided by reason of paying such dividend or making such distribution by the Borrower to such holders, with such dividend to be paid or distribution to be made as and when determined by the Borrower, whether during or after the end of the relevant calendar year, and (B) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) make any cash payments on the 4.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2016 to satisfy anti-dilution provisions thereunder as a result of any dividends or distributions made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph.

(b) Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. From and after the Effective Date, so long as any Advance shall remain unpaid or any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder, the Borrower will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower to:

(i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock;

(ii) make loans or advances to the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary or to pay any Indebtedness or other obligation owed to the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower; or

(iii) transfer any of its property or assets to the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower,

except in each case for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(B) this Agreement or any Guarantee or any Take-Out Securities or any guarantee in respect thereof;

(C) customary non-assignment provisions of any contract or any lease, license or sublicense governing a leasehold interest of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower;

(D) any instrument governing Acquired Indebtedness, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person or the properties or assets of the Person so acquired;

(E) agreements existing on the Effective Date to the extent and in the manner such agreements are in effect on the Effective Date;

(F) the Existing Credit Agreement, an agreement governing other Pari Passu Indebtedness permitted to be incurred hereunder or, with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary, an agreement evidencing Indebtedness incurred not in violation of this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any agreement governing such other Pari Passu Indebtedness or other Indebtedness, as the case may be, the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction are no less favorable to the Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in any material respect as determined by the Board of Directors of the Borrower in its reasonable and good faith judgment than the provisions contained in the Existing Credit Agreement, in the case of such other Pari Passu Indebtedness, and the agreements of such Restricted Subsidiary, in the case of such other Indebtedness, in each case as in effect on the Effective Date;

(G) restrictions on the transfer of assets subject to any Lien permitted under this Agreement imposed by the holder of such Lien;

(H) restrictions imposed by any agreement to sell assets or Capital Stock permitted under this Agreement to any Person pending the closing of such sale;

(I) such encumbrances or restrictions being binding on a Restricted Subsidiary at such time as such Restricted Subsidiary first becomes a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such encumbrances or restrictions are not entered into solely in contemplation of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary;

(J) customary provisions in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements (in each case relating solely to the respective joint venture or similar entity or the equity interests therein) entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(K) any amendment to or Refinancing of the Indebtedness issued, assumed or incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in clauses (B), (D), (E) and (F) above; provided that the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in any such agreement, taken as a whole, are no less favorable to the Borrower in any material respect as determined by the Board of Directors of the Borrower in their reasonable and good faith judgment than the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in agreements referred to in such clauses (B), (D), (E) and (F);

(L) customary restrictions on leases, subleases, licenses, sublicenses or asset sale agreements otherwise permitted hereby;

(M) restrictions imposed on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers or required by insurance, surety or bonding companies, in each case, entered into in the ordinary course of business; and

(N) encumbrances and restrictions applicable only to Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower that are not Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries.

(i) From and after the Effective Date, so long as any Advance shall remain unpaid or any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder, the Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume, guarantee, acquire, become liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to, or otherwise become responsible for payment of (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness); provided that, after the Bridge Facility Maturity Date, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or as a consequence of the incurrence of any such Indebtedness, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness if on the date of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, after giving effect to the incurrence thereof (or, in the case of Designated Revolving Commitments, on the date such Designated Revolving Commitments are designated as such (but only to the extent and so long as so designated) after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of the entire committed amount of Indebtedness designated thereunder, in which case such designated amount under such Designated Revolving Commitments may thereafter be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed, in whole or in part, from time to time, without further compliance with any limitation on the incurrence of additional indebtedness set forth in this Section 5.02(c)), the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Borrower would have been greater than 2.0 to 1.0; provided, further, that the amount of Indebtedness that may be incurred and Disqualified Capital Stock or Preferred Stock that may be issued pursuant to the foregoing by any Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors (other than borrowings under a Bank Facility which is secured by Liens incurred pursuant to Section 5.02(g) (ii) (A)) shall not exceed $100,000,000 at any one time outstanding.

(ii) Section 5.02 (c)(i) will not apply to (collectively, “Permitted Indebtedness”):

(B) Indebtedness incurred pursuant to any Bank Facility in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $2,000,000,000;

(C) other Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries outstanding on the Effective Date (other than Indebtedness under clauses (A), (B) or (R) of this Section 5.02(c)(ii)) reduced by the amount of any scheduled amortization payments, mandatory prepayments when actually paid, conversions or permanent reductions thereof;

(D) Interest Swap Obligations of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower covering Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that such Interest Swap Obligations are entered into to protect the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries from fluctuations in interest rates on its outstanding Indebtedness incurred without violation of this Agreement to the extent the notional principal amount of such Interest Swap Obligation does not, at the time of the incurrence thereof, exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness to which such Interest Swap Obligation relates;

(E) Indebtedness under Currency Agreements; provided that, in the case of Currency Agreements which relate to Indebtedness, such Currency Agreements do not increase the Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries outstanding other than as a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates or by reason of fees, indemnities and compensation payable thereunder;

(F) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower owing to and held by the Borrower or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower for so long as such Indebtedness is held by the Borrower or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower or the holder of a Lien permitted under this Agreement, in each case subject to no Lien held by a Person other than the Borrower or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower or the holder of a Lien permitted under this Agreement; provided that, if as of any date any Person other than the Borrower or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower or the holder of a Lien permitted under this Agreement owns or holds any such Indebtedness or holds a Lien in respect of such Indebtedness, such date shall be deemed the incurrence of Indebtedness not constituting Permitted Indebtedness under this clause (F) by the issuer of such Indebtedness;

(G) Indebtedness of the Borrower owing to and held by a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower for so long as such Indebtedness is held by a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower or the holder of a Lien permitted under this Agreement, in each case subject to no Lien other than a Lien permitted under this Agreement; provided that, if as of any date any Person other than a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower or the holder of a Lien permitted under this Agreement owns or holds any such Indebtedness or any Person holds a Lien in respect of such Indebtedness, such date shall be deemed the incurrence of Indebtedness not constituting Permitted Indebtedness under this clause (G) by the Borrower;

(H) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently (except in the case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided that such Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days of incurrence;

(I) Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of performance bonds, bankers’ acceptances, workers’ compensation claims, surety, bid, appeal or similar bonds, completion guarantees, payment obligations in connection with self-insurance or similar obligations, and bank overdrafts (and letters of credit in respect thereof) in the ordinary course of business;

(J) Indebtedness represented by Capitalized Lease Obligations, mortgage financings and Purchase Money Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries not to exceed (together with any Refinancing Indebtedness with respect thereto) 15.0% of Total Assets at any one time outstanding;

(L) Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary consisting of “earnout” obligations, guarantees, indemnities or obligations in respect of purchase price adjustments in connection with the acquisition or disposition of assets (including Capital Stock);

(M) Indebtedness incurred by the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of letters of credit, bank guarantees or similar instruments issued or created in the ordinary course of business, including in respect of health, disability or other employee benefits or property, casualty or liability insurance or self-insurance or other Indebtedness with respect to reimbursement-type obligations regarding workers’ compensation claims; provided that any reimbursement obligations in respect thereof are reimbursed within 60 days following the incurrence thereof;

(N) Indebtedness in respect of Sale and Leaseback Transactions in an aggregate amount not to exceed $350,000,000 at any one time outstanding;

(O) Acquired Indebtedness, if on the date that such Indebtedness is incurred, after giving pro forma effect thereto, (A) the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall be able to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) pursuant to this Section 5.02(c) (for purposes of this clause (O) only, treating the Bridge Facility Maturity Date as having occurred) or (B) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Borrower would be no less than the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Borrower immediately prior to the date such Indebtedness is incurred;

(P) additional Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value) not to exceed $350,000,000 at any one time outstanding (which amounts may, but need not, be incurred in whole or in part under the Bank Facility); provided that the amount of Indebtedness that may be incurred pursuant to this clause (P) by any Restricted Subsidiaries (other than borrowings under a Bank Facility which is secured by Liens incurred pursuant to Section 5.02(g)(ii)(A)) that are not Guarantors shall not exceed $250,000,000 at any one time outstanding;

(Q) Indebtedness represented by guarantees by the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred under this Agreement; provided that, in the case of a guarantee by a Restricted Subsidiary, such Restricted Subsidiary complies with Section 5.01(i) to the extent applicable; and

(iii) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 5.02(c), in the event that all or a portion of an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (A) through (R) of Section 5.02(c)(ii) or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio provisions of Section 5.02(c)(i), the Borrower shall, in its sole discretion, classify (or later reclassify) such item of Indebtedness, in whole or in part, in any manner that complies with this Section 5.02(c); provided that all Indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement up to the maximum amount permitted under clause (B) of Section 5.02(c)(ii) shall be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to clause (B) of Section 5.02(c)(ii). Accrual of interest, whether payable in cash or in kind, accretion or amortization of original issue discount, imputed interest,

the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Capital Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Capital Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary or Disqualified Capital Stock, as applicable, for purposes of this Section 5.02(c).

(iv) In addition, the Borrower will not, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness which by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) is expressly subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) made expressly subordinate to the Advances or the applicable Guarantee, as the case may be, to the same extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be. For purposes of the foregoing, no Indebtedness will be deemed to be subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor solely by virtue of such Indebtedness being unsecured or by virtue of the fact that the holders of such Indebtedness have entered into one or more intercreditor agreements giving one or more of such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them.

(v) For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restrictions on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that, if such Indebtedness is Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being Refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.02(c), the maximum amount of Indebtedness that may be incurred pursuant to this Section 5.02(c) will not be deemed to be exceeded with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness due solely to the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies.

(d) Limitation on Preferred Stock of Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries. From and after the Effective Date, so long as any Advance shall remain unpaid or any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder, the Borrower will not permit any of its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors to issue any Preferred Stock (other than to the Borrower or to a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower) or permit any Person (other than the Borrower or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower) to own any Preferred Stock of any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower that is not a Guarantor.

(A) the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration therefor at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value at the time of such Asset Sale of the property, assets or stock sold or otherwise disposed of (as determined in good faith by the Borrower’s Board of Directors);

(B) at least 75% of the consideration received by the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from such Asset Sale shall be in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents and/or Replacement Assets and is received at the time of such disposition; provided that, for purposes of this clause (B), (x) the amount of any liabilities (as shown on the Borrower’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet) of the Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated in right of payment to the Advances or any Guarantee of a Guarantor) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets, (y) the fair market value of any securities or other assets received by the Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary in exchange for any such assets that are converted into cash or Cash Equivalents within 360 days after such Asset Sale and (z) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this subclause (z) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of 1.0% of Total Assets and $50,000,000 at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value), in each case shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision; and

(C) upon the consummation of an Asset Sale, prior to the Bridge Facility Maturity Date the Borrower shall apply, or cause such Restricted Subsidiary to apply, the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale within 360 days of receipt thereof either:

(1) to permanently reduce Indebtedness under a Bank Facility (including, for the avoidance of doubt, prepayments of Bridge Advances pursuant to Section 2.05(d)) or to permanently repay any secured Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or any Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor;

(2) to make an investment in properties and assets (including Capital Stock) that replace the properties and assets that were the subject of such Asset Sale or in properties and assets that will be used in the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the Target and its Subsidiaries) as existing on the Effective Date or in businesses reasonably related thereto (“Replacement Assets”);

(3) to repay other Pari Passu Indebtedness; provided that the Borrower shall also equally and ratably reduce Indebtedness under this Agreement by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for a Net Proceeds Offer) to all Lenders to purchase the pro rata principal amount of Advances, in each case at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date; and/or

(4) a combination of prepayment and investment permitted by the foregoing clauses (1) - (3);

provided that, in the case of an investment in Replacement Assets pursuant to clause (2) or (4) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Cash Proceeds from the date of such commitment and, in the event such binding commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Cash Proceeds are so applied, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another binding commitment within 180 days of such cancellation or termination of the prior binding commitment.

(ii) Following the Bridge Facility Maturity Date, pending the final application of such Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower may temporarily reduce borrowings under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other revolving credit facility or otherwise invest the Net Cash Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Agreement. On the 361st day after an Asset Sale or such earlier date, if any, as the Board of Directors of the Borrower or of such Restricted Subsidiary determines not to apply the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale as set forth in clauses (C)(1)-(4) of Section 5.02(e)(i) (each, a “Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date”), such aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds (rounded down to the nearest $1,000) that has not been applied on or before such Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted in clauses (C)(1)-(4) of the preceding paragraph or the last provision of this paragraph (each a “Net Proceeds Offer Amount”) shall be applied by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary to make an offer to repay (the “Net Proceeds Offer”) to all Lenders and, to the extent required by the terms of any Pari Passu Indebtedness, to all holders of Pari Passu Indebtedness, on a date not less than 30 nor more than 60 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from all Lenders (and holders of any such Pari Passu Indebtedness) on a pro rata basis, the maximum amount of Advances and Pari Passu Indebtedness equal to the Net Proceeds Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Advances and Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase; provided that, if at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then such conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 5.02(e).

(iii) The Borrower may defer the Net Proceeds Offer until there is an aggregate unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount equal to or in excess of $25,000,000 resulting from one or more Asset Sales (at which time, the entire unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount, and not just the amount in excess of $25,000,000, shall be applied as required pursuant to this Section 5.02(e)).

(iv) In the event of the transfer of substantially all (but not all) of the property and assets of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as an entirety to a Person in a transaction permitted under Section 5.02(i) which transaction does not constitute a Change of Control, the successor corporation shall be deemed to have sold the properties and assets of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries not so transferred for purposes of this Section 5.02(e), and shall comply with the provisions of this Section 5.02(e) with respect to such deemed sale as if it were an Asset Sale. In addition, the fair market value of such properties and assets of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries deemed to be sold shall be deemed to be Net Cash Proceeds for purposes of this Section 5.02(e).

(v) Each Net Proceeds Offer will be sent to the Lenders as shown on the Register within 25 days following the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, and shall comply with the procedures set forth in this Agreement. Upon receiving notice of the Net Proceeds Offer, Lenders may elect to tender their Advances in whole or in part (in minimum amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) in exchange for cash. To the extent Lenders properly tender Advances and holders of Pari Passu Indebtedness properly tender such Pari Passu Indebtedness in an amount exceeding the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the tendered Advances and Pari Passu Indebtedness will be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate amount of Advances and Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered (and the Administrative Agent shall arrange for the prepayment of the tendered Advances of tendering Lenders on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Advances and Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered). A Net Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days or such longer or shorter period as may be required or permitted, respectively, by law. If any Net Cash Proceeds remain after the consummation of any Net Proceeds Offer, the Borrower may use those Net Cash Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement. Upon completion of each Net Proceeds Offer, the amount of Net Cash Proceeds will be reset at zero.

(i) From and after the Effective Date, so long as any Advance shall remain unpaid or any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder, the Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any of its Affiliates (each an “Affiliate Transaction”), having a value greater than $10,000,000 other than (x) Affiliate Transactions permitted under Section 5.02(f)(ii) and (y) Affiliate Transactions on terms that are no less favorable than those that might reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary.

(ii) All Affiliate Transactions (and each series of related Affiliate Transactions which are similar or part of a common plan) involving aggregate payments or other property with a fair market value in excess of $50,000,000 shall be approved by the Board of Directors of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, such approval to be evidenced by a Board Resolution stating that such Board of Directors has determined that such transaction complies with the foregoing provisions. If the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower enters into an Affiliate Transaction (or a series of related Affiliate Transactions related to a common plan) that involves an aggregate fair market value of more than $50,000,000, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall, prior to the consummation thereof, obtain a favorable opinion as to the fairness of such transaction or series of related transactions to the Borrower or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view, from an Independent Financial Advisor and file the same with the Administrative Agent.

(A) loans, advances and payments of reasonable fees and compensation paid (whether in cash or the issuance of Capital Stock of the Borrower) to and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower in the ordinary course of business or as determined in good faith by the Borrower’s Board of Directors or senior management;

(B) transactions exclusively between or among the Borrower and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or exclusively between or among such Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that such transactions are not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement;

(C) any agreement as in effect as of the Effective Date or any amendment thereto or any transaction contemplated thereby (including pursuant to any amendment thereto) in any replacement agreement thereto so long as any such amendment or replacement agreement, taken as a whole, is not materially more disadvantageous to the Lenders than the original agreement as in effect on the Effective Date;

(D) any transaction on arm’s-length terms with any non-Affiliate that becomes an Affiliate as a result of such transaction;

(E) any employment, consulting and severance arrangements entered into by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business;

(G) Permitted Investments and Restricted Payments permitted by this Agreement; and

(H) the payment of customary fees and reasonable out-of-pocket costs to, and indemnities provided on behalf of, directors, officers and employees of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business to the extent attributable to the ownership or operation of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries.

(g) Limitation on Liens. From and after the Effective Date, so long as any Advance shall remain unpaid or any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder, the Borrower will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or permit or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind against or upon any property or assets of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries whether owned on the Effective Date or acquired after the Effective Date, or any proceeds therefrom, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income or profits therefrom unless:

(i) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Advances or any Guarantee, as the case may be, are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; and

(ii) in all other cases, the Advances or any Guarantee, as the case may be, are equally and ratably secured,

(A) Liens securing borrowings under a Bank Facility in an amount not to exceed the greater of (x) the amount permitted to be incurred pursuant to and in compliance with Section 5.02(c)(ii)(B) and (y) such amount that at the time of incurrence (or, in the case of Designated Revolving Commitments, on the date such Designated Revolving Commitments are designated as such (but only to the extent and so long as so designated) after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of the entire amount of Indebtedness designated thereunder, in which case such designated amount under such Designated Revolving Commitments may thereafter be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed, in whole or in part, from time to time, without further compliance with any limitations on Liens set forth in this Section 5.02(g)) and after giving pro forma effect to any such Lien and obligations secured thereunder (including the use of proceeds thereof) the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall have a Secured Leverage Ratio less than or equal to 2.0. to 1.0;

(B) Liens existing as of the Effective Date to the extent and in the manner such Liens are in effect on the Effective Date;

(C) Liens securing the Borrower’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ obligations under any hedge facility permitted under this Agreement to be entered into by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(E) Liens in favor of the Borrower or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower on assets of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower;

(F) Liens securing Refinancing Indebtedness which is incurred to Refinance any Indebtedness which has been secured by a Lien permitted under this Agreement and which has been incurred in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided that such Liens: (i) are no less favorable to the Lenders in any material respect and are not more favorable to the lienholders in any material respect with respect to such Liens than the Liens in respect of the Indebtedness being Refinanced as determined by the Board of Directors of the Borrower in its reasonable and good faith judgment; and (ii) do not extend to or cover any property or assets of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries not securing the Indebtedness so Refinanced; and

(h) Conduct of Business. From and after the Effective Date, so long as any Advance shall remain unpaid or any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not engage in any businesses that are not the same, similar, ancillary, complementary or reasonably related to the businesses in which the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the Target and its Subsidiaries) are engaged on the Effective Date, except to an extent that so doing would not be material to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(i) From and after the Effective Date, the Borrower will not, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, consolidate or merge with or into any Person, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of (or cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower to sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of) all or substantially all of the Borrower’s assets (determined on a consolidated basis for the Borrower and the Borrower’s Restricted Subsidiaries) whether as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any Person unless:

(2) the Person (if other than the Borrower) formed by such consolidation or into which the Borrower is merged or the Person which acquires by sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition the properties and assets of the Borrower and of the Borrower’s Restricted Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety (the “Surviving Entity”):

(x) shall be an entity organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia; provided that the Surviving Entity must be a corporation; and

(y) shall expressly assume, by amendment hereto (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on all of the Advances and the performance of every covenant under this Agreement on the part of the Borrower to be performed or observed;

(B) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption contemplated by clause (A)(2)(y) of this Section 5.02(i)(i) (including giving effect to any Indebtedness and Acquired Indebtedness incurred or anticipated to be incurred in connection with or in respect of such transaction), (A) the Borrower or such Surviving Entity, as the case may be, shall be able to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) pursuant to Section 5.02(c)(i) hereof or (B) the applicable Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Borrower or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Borrower) would be no less than the applicable Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Borrower immediately prior to such transaction;

(C) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption contemplated by clause (A)(2)(y) of this Section 5.02(i)(i) (including, without limitation, giving effect to any Indebtedness and Acquired Indebtedness incurred or anticipated to be incurred and any Lien granted in connection with or in respect of the transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing; and

(D) the Borrower or the Surviving Entity shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition and, if a supplement to this Agreement is required in connection with such transaction, such supplement complies with the applicable provisions of this Agreement and that all conditions precedent in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been satisfied.

(ii) For purposes of the provisions of Section 5.02(i)(i) hereof, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower, in a single or a series of related transactions, which properties and assets, if held by the Borrower instead of such Restricted Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Borrower on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Borrower.

(iii) Notwithstanding clauses (A), (B) and (C) of Section 5.02(i)(i) hereof, but subject to the proviso in clause (A)(2)(y) of Section 5.02(i)(i), the Borrower may merge with (x) any of its Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries or (y) an Affiliate that is a Person that has no material assets or liabilities and which was organized solely for the purpose of reorganizing the Borrower in another jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.02(i) shall prevent the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary from consummating the Company Conversion.

(j) Limitation on Existing Notes Transactions. From and after the Effective Date, the Borrower will not, and will not permit its Subsidiaries to, (i) directly or indirectly, purchase, redeem, offer to purchase, tender for, solicit consents to amendments with respect to or undertake any other transaction having the effect of the foregoing with respect to the Existing Notes or (ii) take any other action (other than the Transactions) for the primary purpose of affecting the yield on the Existing Notes.

SECTION 6.01 Events of Default. Any of the following events shall constitute an event of default for purposes of this Agreement solely with respect to the Advances and any Commitments hereunder (an “Events of Default”) (it being understood and agreed that the events of default with respect to the Extended Advances shall be set forth in the Rollover Amendment):

(a) the failure to pay (i) interest on any Advances, (ii) any fees payable pursuant to Section 2.06 or (iii) the Conversion Fee, in each case when the same becomes due and payable and the default continues for a period of five Business Days; or

(b) any representation or warranty made by a Loan Party herein or in any other Loan Document or by a Loan Party (or any of its officers or directors) in connection with this Agreement or in any certificate or other document furnished pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, if any, in each case shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made; or

~~(c)~~(d) a default in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement (other than any Demand Failure of the type contemplated by clause (ii) of the definition thereof) which default continues for a period of 60 days after the Borrower receives written notice specifying the default (and demanding that such default be remedied) from the Administrative Agent or Lenders who hold at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Advances (except in the case of a default with respect to Section 5.02~~(i)~~(c), which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice requirement but without such passage of time requirement); or

~~(d)~~(e) the failure to pay at final maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof) the stated principal amount of any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower, or the acceleration of the final stated maturity of any such Indebtedness (which acceleration is not rescinded, annulled or otherwise cured within 30 days of receipt by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of notice of any such acceleration) if the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at final stated maturity or which has been so accelerated (in each case with respect to which the 30-day period described above has passed), equals $100,000,000 or more at any time; or

~~(e)~~(f) one or more judgments in an aggregate amount in excess of $100,000,000 shall have been rendered against the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and such judgments remain undischarged, unpaid or unstayed for a period of 60 days after such judgment or judgments become final and non-appealable; or

~~(f)~~(g) the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Material Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Material Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any applicable Debtor Relief Law:

(ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,

(iii) consents to the appointment of a custodian for it or for all or substantially all of their property,

(v) makes an admission in writing of its inability to pay its debts as they become due; or

~~(g)~~(h) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Debtor Relief Law that:

~~(i)~~(i) is for relief against the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Material Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Material Subsidiary in an involuntary case,

~~(ii)~~(ii) appoints a custodian of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Material Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Material Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Material Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Material Subsidiary, or

~~(iii)~~(iii) orders the liquidation of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Material Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Material Subsidiary; and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; or

~~(h)~~(i) this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall cease to be valid and enforceable against the Borrower (except to the extent it is terminated in accordance with its terms) or the Borrower shall so assert in writing; or

~~(i)~~(j) any Guarantee of a Guarantor that is a Material Subsidiary (or group of Guarantors that would constitute a Material Subsidiary) or any material provision thereof ceases to be in full force and effect or any Guarantee of a Guarantor is declared to be null and void and unenforceable or any Guarantee of a Guarantor is found to be invalid or any Guarantor denies its liability under its Guarantee (other than by reason of release of a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).

Other than as set forth in Section 3.04, if any of the foregoing Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent (i) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the obligation of each Lender to make Advances to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, and (ii) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Advances, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Advances, all such interest and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided, however, (but for the avoidance of doubt, always subject to Section 3.04) that in the event of an Event of Default (but, during the Certain Funds Period, only a Certain Funds Event of Default) under Section 6.01(fg) or Section 6.01(gh), (A) the Commitment of each Lender shall automatically be terminated and (B) the Advances, all such interest and all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date falling 90 days after the Closing Date (the “Clean-up Date”), notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, any breach of covenants, misrepresentation or other default which arises with respect to the Target Group will be deemed not to be a breach of representation or warranty, a breach of covenant or an Event of Default, as the case may be, if:

(ii) the circumstances giving rise to it have not knowingly been procured by or approved by the Borrower; and

(iii) it is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis.

If the relevant circumstances are continuing on or after the Clean-up Date, there shall be a breach of representation or warranty, breach of covenant or Event of Default, as the case may be, notwithstanding the above.

SECTION 7.01 Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (or an Affiliate thereof designated by it) to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article VII (other than the third sentence of Section 7.04, the second and third sentences of Section 7.06(a), the second sentence of Section 7.06(b) and the third sentence of Section 7.06(c)) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions (other than the third sentence of Section 7.04).

SECTION 7.02 Administrative Agent Individually. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity as a Lender. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, own securities of, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

(a) The Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are solely ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein or in any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers but shall be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.01 or 6.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or

willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until the Borrower or any Lender shall have given notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Default or Event of Default.

(c) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person on behalf of any Lender, and each Lender confirms to the Administrative Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.

SECTION 7.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the Effective Date or the making of any Advance on the Closing Date that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to, approved and accepted the satisfaction of such condition unless (i) an officer of the Administrative Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the occurrence of the Effective Date or the making of such Advance on the Closing Date, as applicable, and (ii) in the case of a condition to the making of an Advance, such Lender shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 7.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. Each such sub agent and the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and each such sub agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VII and Section 9.04 (as though such subagents were the “Administrative Agent” under this Agreement) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right (with the consent of the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders (and with the consent of the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, such Person shall automatically and without the taking of any action by any Person, be removed as Administrative Agent on the date that is 30 days following the date such Person became a Defaulting Lender (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”). In connection therewith, the Required Lenders (with the consent of the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) shall appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment on or prior to 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) (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article VII and Section 9.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 7.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to

time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 7.08 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), ratably according to the respective principal amounts of the Advances made by each of them (or, if no Advances are at the time outstanding, ratably according to the respective amounts of their Commitments), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, in each case, acting in the capacity of Administrative Agent; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower.

SECTION 7.09 Other Agents. None of the Lenders identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as an “arranger” or “book runner” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

SECTION 8.01 Guarantee. Each Guarantor, on a joint and several basis, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lender Parties (the “Guarantee”), as a guarantee of payment and not merely as a guarantee of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities, whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, voluntary or involuntary, of the Borrower to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (collectively, the “Lender Parties”) arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including all renewals, extensions and modifications thereof (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). This Guarantee shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee (other than payment in full in cash).

SECTION 8.02 No Termination. Except as permitted under Section 8.09, this Guarantee is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall

remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable) and any other amounts payable under this Guarantee are indefeasibly paid and performed in full and the Commitments have terminated.

SECTION 8.03 Waiver by the Guarantors. Each Guarantor waives notice of the acceptance of this Guarantee and of the extension or continuation of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof. Each Guarantor further waives presentment, protest, notice, dishonor or default, demand for payment and any other notices to which the Guarantor might otherwise be entitled other than any notice required hereunder.

SECTION 8.04 Subrogation. No Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification or contribution, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Lender Parties or any similar right with respect to any payment it makes under this Guarantee with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations until all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable) have been paid in full in cash and the Commitments have terminated. If any amount is paid to the Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Lender Parties to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

SECTION 8.05 Waiver of Defenses. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability against the Borrower of this Agreement or any agreement or other instrument relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligation of the Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from this Agreement, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;

(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(d) any manner of application of collateral, if any, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other asset of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;

(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;

(f) any failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to disclose to a Guarantor any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of the Borrower now or hereafter known to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to disclose such information);

(g) the release or reduction of liability of any other Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Administrative Agent or any Lender that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other guarantor or surety (other than defense of payment in full in cash).

This Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Lender Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

SECTION 8.06 Exhaustion of Other Remedies Not Required. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety. Each Guarantor waives diligence by the Lender Parties and action on delinquency in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, including, without limitation, any provision of law requiring the Lender Parties to exhaust any right or remedy or to take any action against the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person or property before enforcing this Guarantee against such Guarantor.

SECTION 8.07 Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, upon any action or proceeding, of the Borrower or any other Person, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors immediately upon demand by the Administrative Agent as and to the extent that the Administrative Agent has the right to demand such amounts pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof.

SECTION 8.08 Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain Terms. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.08, a Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Borrower or another Guarantor, unless:

(a) immediately after giving effect to such transactions, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(i) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under this Agreement and its Guarantee pursuant to a supplement satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; or

(ii) the Net Cash Proceeds of any such sale or other disposition of a Guarantor are applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.05(d)(iii) hereof.

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by agreement, executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent, of the Guarantee and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Agreement to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. All the Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Agreement as the Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as though all such Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

Except as set forth in Section 5.02(i) hereof, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Borrower or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Borrower or another Guarantor.

SECTION 8.09 Releases Following Sale of Assets and Other Events. Any Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and relieved of any obligations under its Guarantee without any further action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender:

(a) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary, if the Net Cash Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.05(d)(iii) hereof;

(b) in connection with any sale of all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary, if the Net Cash Proceeds of such sale are applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.05(d)(iii) hereof;

(c) in connection with any transaction following which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary immediately after giving effect to such transaction if the Net Cash Proceeds of such transaction are applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.05(d)(iii) hereof; or

(d) upon the discharge or release of all guarantees of such Guarantor, and all pledges of property or assets of such Guarantor securing all other Indebtedness of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, which resulted in the creation of such Guarantee pursuant to Section 5.01(i).

Upon delivery to the Administrative Agent of an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel (which may be subject to certain qualifications) to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 5.02(e) hereof, the Administrative Agent shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee.

Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Advances and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Agreement as provided in this Article VIII.

SECTION 8.10 Release of a Guarantor. Any Guarantor that is designated by the Board of Directors of the Borrower as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall, at such time, be deemed automatically and unconditionally released from and discharged of its obligations under its Guarantee without any further action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. The Administrative Agent shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release upon receipt of the Borrower’s request for such release accompanied by an officers’ certificate certifying as to the compliance with this Section 8.10.

(a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure by a Loan Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders and the Loan Parties and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing, do any of the following:

(i) waive any of the conditions specified in Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.03 unless signed by each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(ii) increase or extend the Commitments of a Lender or subject a Lender to any additional obligations, unless signed by such Lender;

(iii) reduce the principal of, or stated rate of interest on, the Advances, the stated rate at which any fees hereunder are calculated or any other amounts payable hereunder, unless signed by each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Interest” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay Default Interest;

(iv) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, unless signed by each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(v) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advances, or the number of Lenders, that, in each case, shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder, unless signed by all Lenders;

(vi) impose restrictions on the conversion of Extended Advances into Exchange Notes or alter the rate of such exchange or amend, modify or waive the terms of the Exchange Notes in any manner that requires (or would, if the Exchange Notes were outstanding, require) the approval of all holders of Exchange Notes; or

and provided, further that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend any Loan Document to correct any errors, mistakes, omissions, defects or inconsistencies, or to effect administrative changes that are not adverse to any Lender, and such amendment shall become effective without any further consent of any other party to such Loan Document other than the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

(b) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “all Lenders,” “each Lender” or “each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender

whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement; provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity (which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) shall agree, as of such date, to purchase at par for cash the Advances and other obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement all principal, interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower to and including the date of termination. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(a) All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telecopier) and mailed, telecopied or delivered, if to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to the address, telecopier number or if applicable, electronic mail address, specified for such Person on Schedule II; or, as to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties and, as to each other party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. All such notices and communications shall, when mailed or telecopied, be effective three Business Days after being deposited in the mails, postage prepaid, or upon confirmation of receipt (except that if electronic confirmation of receipt is received at a time that the recipient is not open for business, the applicable notice or communication shall be effective at the opening of business on the next business day of the recipient), respectively, except that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article II, III or VII shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent. Delivery by telecopier or other electronic communication of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any Exhibit hereto to be executed and delivered hereunder shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, 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 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.

(c) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) 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 that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

(d) Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any communication has been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, telecopier number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

(e) If any notice required under this Agreement is permitted to be made, and is made, by telephone, actions taken or omitted to be taken in reliance thereon by the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be binding upon the Borrower notwithstanding any inconsistency between the notice provided by telephone and any subsequent writing in confirmation thereof provided to the Administrative Agent or such Lender; provided that any such action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have been in good faith and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f) With respect to notices and other communications hereunder from the Borrower to any Lender, the Borrower shall provide such notices and other communications to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver such notices and other communications to any such Lender in accordance with subsection (b) above or otherwise.

SECTION 9.03 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by applicable law.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay, upon demand, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of this Agreement and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, (i) all due diligence, syndication (including printing and distribution), duplication and messenger costs and (ii) the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of a single primary counsel (and a local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) for the Administrative Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agents as to their respective rights and responsibilities under this Agreement. The Borrower further agrees to pay, upon demand, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agents and the Lenders, if any, in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of a single primary counsel and an additional single local counsel in any local jurisdictions for the Agents and the Lenders and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower of the existence of such conflict, one additional counsel, in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Agreement.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and each Lender and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, penalties, liabilities and expenses (provided that the Borrower’s obligations to the Indemnified Parties in respect of fees and expenses of counsel shall be limited to the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for all Indemnified Parties, taken together (and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction), and, solely in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest, of one additional counsel for all Indemnified Parties, taken together (and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction) (all such claims, damages, losses, penalties, liabilities and reasonable expenses being, collectively, the “Losses”) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of, or in connection with the preparation for a defense of, any investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of, related to or in connection with (i) this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on any property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Liability relating in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, except to the extent Losses (A) are found in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates (including any breach of its obligations under this Agreement), (B) result from any dispute between an Indemnified Party and one or more other Indemnified Parties (other than against an Agent or Arranger acting in such a role) or (C) result from the claims of one or more Lenders solely against one or more other Lenders (and not claims by one or more Lenders against any Agent acting in its capacity as such except, in the case of Losses incurred by any Agent or any Lender as a result of such claims, to the extent such Losses are found in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (including any breach of its obligations under this Agreement)) not attributable to any actions of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and for which none of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries otherwise has any liability. The Borrower further agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Borrower or any of its shareholders or creditors for or in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances, except to the extent such liability is found in a final nonappealable judgment by a court of

competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (including any breach of its obligations under this Agreement). In no event, however, shall any Indemnified Party be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) If any payment of principal of any Advance 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 Advance, as a result of (i) a payment pursuant to Section 2.10, (ii) acceleration of the maturity of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.01, (iii) a payment by an Eligible Assignee to any Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance upon an assignment of the rights and obligations of such Lender under this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.07 as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 9.07(a) or (iv) for any other reason, the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional reasonable losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, including, without limitation, any reasonable loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Advance.

(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 9.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 9.05 Right of Setoff. Subject to Section 3.04, upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Advances due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) other than any deposit in an Escrow Account before the Commitment Termination Date at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such setoff and application is made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section 9.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) that such Lender and its Affiliates may have.

SECTION 9.06 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective upon the satisfaction (or waiver in accordance with Section 9.01) of the conditions set forth in Section 3.01 and, thereafter, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that the Loan Parties shall have no right to assign their rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Lender, and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

(a) Each Lender may, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being agreed that notwithstanding anything

herein, including the proviso set forth below, (x) prior to the Effective Date, the Borrower may withhold such consent in its sole discretion and (y) during the Certain Funds Period the Borrower may withhold such consent in its sole discretion unless a Certain Funds Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and, in the case of the Borrower, (A) shall not be required while an Event of Default (or during the Certain Funds Period a Certain Funds Event of Default) has occurred and is continuing and (B) shall be deemed given if the Borrower shall not have objected within 10 Business Days following its receipt of notice of such assignment (and, within five days after demand by the Borrower (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent) to (i) any Defaulting Lender, (ii) any Lender) that has made a demand for payment pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.14, (iii) any Lender that has asserted pursuant to Section 2.08(b) or 2.12 that it is impracticable or unlawful for such Lender to make Advances or (iv) any Non-Consenting Lender, such Lender will), assign to one or more Persons (other than natural persons) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances owing to it); provided, however, that:

(i) such consent shall not be required in the case of an assignment to any other Lender or an Affiliate of any Lender if, subsequent thereto and prior to the Bridge Facility Maturity Date, the Initial Lenders would hold, in the aggregate, at least 51% of the unused Commitments and aggregate outstanding principal amount of Advances; provided, that notice thereof shall have been given to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent;

(ii) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(iii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000;

(v) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.07(a) shall be arranged by the Borrower with the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that, in the aggregate, cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement;

(vi) no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.07(a), (1) so long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (2) unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances owing to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount, and from the Borrower or one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount equal to all other amounts accrued to such Lender under this Agreement (including, without limitation, any amounts owing under Sections 2.11, 2.14 or 9.04(c)) and (3) unless and until the Borrower shall have paid (or caused to be paid) to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and

(vii) the parties to each such assignment (other than, except in the case of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.07(a), the Borrower) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance and, if such assignment does not occur as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.07(a) (in which case the Borrower shall pay the fee required by subclause (vi)(3) of this Section 9.07(a)), a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement, except that such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of Section 9.04(a) and (b) with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:

(i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto;

(ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto;

(iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01(e) and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance;

(iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement;

(vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and

(vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as the agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02(a) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or any natural person) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances owing to it) without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower; provided, however, that:

(i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment) shall remain unchanged;

(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations;

(iii) such Lender shall remain the Lender of any such Advance for all purposes of this Agreement;

(iv) the Borrower, the Agents 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; and

(v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower herefrom or therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or stated rate of interest on, the Advances or the stated rate at which any other amounts payable hereunder are calculated, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation.

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower after any sale of a participation by such Lender pursuant to this Section 9.07(e); provided that the failure of such Lender to give notice to the Borrower as provided herein shall not affect the validity of such participation or impose any obligations on such Lender or the applicable participant.

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Advances or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Advance or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

Each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11 and 2.14 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements set forth in Section 2.14(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Section 9.07; provided that such participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 9.07 as if it were an assignee. A participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.11 or 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such participant and the sale of the participation to such participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(f) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries received by it from such Lender as more fully set forth in Section 9.08.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment and the Advances owing to it) to secure obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender.

If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

The obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 9.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, as of the date first above written.
