(b) With respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance upon a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or leverage test (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio or leverage test (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or leverage test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts in connection with such substantially concurrent incurrence, except that incurrences of Indebtedness and Liens constituting Fixed Amounts shall be taken into account for purposes of Incurrence-Based Amounts other than Incurrence-Based Amounts contained in the definition of Maximum Incremental Amount and SECTIONS 6.01 and 6.02.

SECTION 1.08 Timing of Payment or Performance. When the payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on (or before) a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in the definition of “Interest Period”) or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

SECTION 1.09 Limited Condition Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of:

(1) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test, including the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio, and the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, including, but not limited to, in connection with incurrence of Indebtedness, the creation of Liens, the making of any asset sale or other disposition, the making of an Investment or Restricted Payment, the designation of a “Subsidiary” as restricted or unrestricted or the repayment or prepayment of Indebtedness; or

(2) determining compliance with representations and warranties (other than Specified Representations in the case of a Limited Condition transaction under clause (i) of such definition) and defaults or events of default (other than Specified Defaults); or

(3) testing availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets);

in each case, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into, the date an irrevocable repayment or prepayment notice is given with respect thereto, or at the time of declaration thereof, as applicable (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Condition Transaction, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries would have been permitted to take such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test, representations, warranties, defaults, specified defaults, events of default, or basket, such ratio, test, representations, warranties, defaults, specified defaults, events of default, or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would have failed to have been satisfied as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Total Assets, Consolidated Total Debt, Consolidated Interest Expense, or Consolidated Net Income, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have failed to have been satisfied as a result of such fluctuations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any event or transaction occurring after the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement or date for disposition, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment specified in an irrevocable notice for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated, expires or passes, as applicable, without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction (a “Subsequent Transaction”) in connection with which a ratio, test or basket availability calculation must be made on a Pro Forma Basis or giving Pro Forma Effect to such Subsequent Transaction, for purposes of determining whether such ratio, test or basket availability has been complied with under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated until such time as the applicable Limited Condition Transaction has actually closed or the definitive agreement with respect thereto has been terminated; provided, that for purposes of any Restricted Payment, such ratio, basket or compliance with any other provision hereunder shall also be tested as if such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) had not been consummated.

SECTION 1.10 Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on LIBO Loans is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on LIBO Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-In Election, SECTION 2.10(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, pursuant to SECTION 2.10(d), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on LIBO Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to SECTION 2.10(b), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to SECTION 2.10(c)), including, without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

ARTICLE II

Amount and Terms of Credit

SECTION 2.01 Commitment of the Lenders.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) [Reserved].

(c) [Reserved].

(d) (i) The Additional Term B-5 Lender agrees to make a term loan to the Borrower in dollars (a “Term B-5 Loan”) on the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date in an amount not to exceed the amount of its Additional Term B-5 Commitment and (ii) each Converted Term B-4 Loan of each Amendment No. 6 Consenting Lender shall be converted into a Term B-5 Loan of such Lender effective as of the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Lender’s Converted Term B-4 Loan immediately prior to such conversion. Amounts repaid with respect to Term B-5 Loans may not be reborrowed. As of the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term B-5 Loans is $1,117,000,000.

SECTION 2.02 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.03 Procedure for Term Loan Borrowing.

(a) The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day prior to the anticipated Closing Date) requesting that the Lenders make the Term Loans on the Closing Date and specifying the amount to be borrowed and whether the Term Loans will initially be LIBO Loans or Prime Rate Loans (and, if LIBO Loans, the Interest Period for such Term Loans). Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Closing Date each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available

-49-

funds equal to the Term B Loan to be made by such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall credit the account of the Borrower on the books of such office of the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders in immediately available funds.

(b) Except as set forth in SECTION 2.09, SECTION 2.10 and SECTION 2.11, Term Loans shall be either Prime Rate Loans or LIBO Loans as the Borrower may request (which request shall substantially be made in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1) subject to and in accordance with this SECTION 2.03. Each Lender may fulfill its Commitment with respect to any Term Loan by causing any lending office of such Lender to make such Term Loan; provided, however, that any such use of a lending office shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Term B Loan in accordance with the terms of the applicable Note. Each Lender shall, subject to its overall policy considerations, use reasonable efforts to select a lending office which will not result in the payment of increased costs by the Borrower. Subject to the other provisions of this SECTION 2.03 and the provisions of SECTION 2.11, Borrowings of Term Loans of more than one Type may be incurred at the same time, but in any event no more than ten (10) Borrowings of LIBO Loans may be outstanding at any time.

(c) The procedures for the funding of Incremental Term Loans shall be as set forth in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Amendment.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date each Additional Term B-5 Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Term B-5 Loan to be made by such Additional Term B-5 Lender pursuant to its Additional Term B-5 Commitment. The Administrative Agent shall credit the account of the Borrower on the books of such office of the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Additional Term B-5 Lenders in immediately available funds.

SECTION 2.04 Repayment of Term Loans.

(a) On the Maturity Date of the Term B-5 Loans, the Borrower shall repay in full the principal amount of the Term B-5 Loans then outstanding.

(b) The principal amount of each Incremental Term Loan of any Series shall amortize as provided in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Amendment.

(c) The principal amount of the Extended Term Loans of any Extension Series shall amortize as provided in the applicable Term Loan Extension Amendment (to be decreased in accordance with SECTION 2.17(f) in the event of any mandatory prepayments of such Extended Term Loan made hereunder or as directed by the Borrower in the event of any voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans hereunder).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the amounts required to be paid with respect to the Term Loans of any Class shall be reduced in connection with any prepayment of the Term Loans of such Class in accordance with SECTION 2.16 or 2.17, as applicable; and (y) the Term Loans of each Class, together with all other amounts owed hereunder with respect thereto, shall, in any event, be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.05 Incremental Term Loans.

(a) The Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more additional Classes of Term Loans denominated in dollars under this Agreement (“Incremental Term Loans”). Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Incremental Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Term Loans shall be made, which shall be a date not less than five Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as agreed by the Administrative Agent); provided that:

(i) before and after giving effect to the borrowing of such Incremental Term Loans on the Incremental Effective Date no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or, to the extent the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans are being used to finance a Permitted Acquisition or other Acquisition, no Specified Default shall have occurred and be continuing);

-50-

(ii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Incremental Term Loans shall not be shorter than the then remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term B-5 Loans outstanding at the time of such borrowing;

(iii) all other terms applicable to such Incremental Term Loans (other than provisions relating to original issue discount, upfront fees and interest rates, amortization (other than the Maturity Date and subject to clause (ii) above), optional prepayments or redemption terms, in each case, which shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the Incremental Term Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans subject to the proviso contained in the definition of Applicable Margin), shall be on market terms (as determined by the Borrower); provided that, in the event any financial maintenance covenant is included, which is applicable to any Incremental Term Loans, either (x) such financial maintenance covenant does not apply until the Term B-5 Loans have been repaid in full or (y) such financial maintenance covenant shall also apply to the Term B-5 Loans;

(iv) the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Term Loans (other than Refinancing Term Loans) borrowed following the Closing Date, when aggregated with the principal amount of Qualifying Secured Debt and Qualifying Other Debt issued pursuant to clause (v)(ii) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness,” would not exceed the Maximum Incremental Amount;

(v) the representations and warranties in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be accurate in all material respects as of the Incremental Effective date (except to the extent that any such representation or warranty relates to a prior date), subject to customary “SunGard” limitations to the extent the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans are being used to finance a Permitted Acquisition or other similar Permitted Investments; and

(vi) the Loan Parties and the Collateral Agent shall enter into such amendments to the Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent (which shall not require any consent from any Lender other than those consents provided pursuant to this Agreement and which may be provided on a post-closing basis) in order to ensure that the Incremental Term Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Security Documents and shall deliver such other documents, certificates and opinions of counsel in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent.

(b) The Borrower may approach any Lender or any other Person that would be an Eligible Assignee to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Term Loans (a “Incremental Term Lender”); provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Term Loans may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide an Incremental Term Loan. Any Incremental Term Loans made on any Incremental Effective Date shall be designated a series (a “Series”) of Incremental Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that, subject to the limitations set forth in clause (a) above, any Incremental Term Loans may, to the extent provided in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Class of Term Loans.

(c) The Incremental Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Incremental Term Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans (an “Incremental Term Loan Amendment”) which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in clause (a) above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender other than those consents provided pursuant this Agreement). Each Incremental Term Loan Amendment shall be binding on the Lenders, the Loan Parties and the other parties hereto.

SECTION 2.06 Extended Term Loans.

(a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of any Class (an “Existing Term Loan Class”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this SECTION 2.06. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the Existing Term Loan Class) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall be consistent with the Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Class from which such Extended Term Loans are to be converted except that:

(i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class to the extent provided in the applicable Term Loan Extension Amendment, or, if no scheduled amortization payments apply to such Existing Term Loan Class, scheduled amortization payments may apply to such Extended Term Loans after the Maturity Date of such Existing Term Loan Class;

(ii) the interest rates and call protection with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be different than the interest rates and call protection for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class and fees, premiums, and AHYDO payments may be paid to the Extending Term Lenders to the extent provided in the applicable Term Loan Extension Amendment; and

(iii) the Term Loan Extension Amendment may provide for except as to interest rates, fees, premiums, amortization, prepayments, AHYDO payments and, subject to clause (i) above, scheduled amortization (which shall, subject to the terms of this SECTION 2.06, be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant offer of Extended Term Loans), Extended Term Loans with covenants and events of default which, if not consistent with the terms of the existing Term Loans, shall not be materially more restrictive to the Loan Parties (as determined in good faith by the Borrower), when taken as a whole, than the terms of the existing Term Loans unless (x) the Lenders of the existing Term Loans receive the benefit of such more restrictive terms or (y) any such provisions apply after the latest Maturity Date applicable to the Existing Term Loan Class at the time such Extended Term Loans are made or converted from an Existing Term Loan Class.

(b) Any Extended Term Loans converted pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a series (an “Extension Series”) of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that, subject to the limitations set forth in clause (a) above, any Extended Term Loans converted from an Existing Term Loan Class may, to the extent provided in the applicable Term Loan Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Class of Term Loans.

(c) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Class are requested to respond. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Class converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Class subject to such Extension Request (such Lender an “Extending Term Lender”) converted into Extended Term Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Class which it has elected to request be converted into Extended Term Loans (subject to any minimum denomination requirements reasonably imposed by the Administrative Agent and acceptable to the Borrower). In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Class subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to an Extension Request, Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Term Loans on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans included in each such Extension Election.

-52-

(d) Extended Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (a “Term Loan Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Borrower, and each Extending Term Lender providing an Extended Term Loan thereunder which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in clause (a) above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender other than those consents provided pursuant to this Agreement). Each Term Loan Extension Amendment shall be binding on the Lenders, the Loan Parties and the other parties hereto. In connection with any Term Loan Extension Amendment, the Loan Parties and the Collateral Agent shall enter into such amendments to the Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent (which shall not require any consent from any Lender other than those consents provided pursuant to this Agreement) in order to ensure that the Extended Term Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Security Documents and shall deliver such other documents, certificates and opinions of counsel in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 2.07 Notes.

(a) Promptly following the request of any Lender, the Term Loans made by such Lender shall be evidenced by a Note duly executed on behalf of the Borrower.

(b) Each Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower to endorse on a schedule attached to each Note delivered to such Lender (or on a continuation of such schedule attached to such Note and made a part thereof), or otherwise to record in such Lender’s internal records, an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each Term Loan from such Lender, each payment and prepayment of principal of any such Term Loan, each payment of interest on any such Term Loan and the other information provided for on such schedule; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make such a notation or any error therein shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Term Loans made by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Notes.

(c) Upon receipt of an affidavit and indemnity of a Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such Lender’s Note and upon cancellation of such Note, the Borrower will promptly issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note in favor of such Lender, in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor at such Lender’s expense.

SECTION 2.08 Interest on Term Loans.

(a) Subject to SECTION 2.12, each Prime Rate Loan of any Class shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) at a rate per annum that shall be equal to the then Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Prime Rate Loans of such Class.

(b) Subject to SECTION 2.09 through SECTION 2.12, each LIBO Loan of any Class shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Class for such Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin for LIBO Loans of such Class.

(c) Accrued interest on all Term Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and after such maturity on written demand.

SECTION 2.09 Conversion and Continuation of Term Loans.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time, on three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be in the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto and to be effective, must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the third Business Day preceding the date of any conversion), (i) to convert any outstanding Borrowings of Prime Rate Loans to Borrowings of LIBO Loans, or (ii) to continue an outstanding Borrowing of LIBO Loans for an additional Interest Period, or (iii) to convert any outstanding Borrowings of LIBO Loans to a Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans, subject in each case to the following:

(i) no Borrowing of Term Loans may be converted into, or continued as, LIBO Loans at any time when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Required Lenders have provided notice that such conversions and continuations are not permitted (nothing contained herein being deemed to obligate the Borrower to incur Breakage Costs upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default unless the Obligations are accelerated);

-53-

(ii) if less than a full Borrowing of Term Loans is converted, such conversion shall be made pro rata among the Lenders based upon the respective principal amounts of the Term Loans comprising such Borrowing held by such Lenders immediately prior to such conversion;

(iii) the aggregate principal amount of Prime Rate Loans being converted into or continued as LIBO Loans shall be in an integral of $1,000,000 and at least $5,000,000;

(iv) each Lender shall effect each conversion by applying the proceeds of its new LIBO Loan or Prime Rate Loan, as the case may be, to its Term Loan being so converted;

(v) the Interest Period with respect to a Borrowing of LIBO Loans effected by a conversion or in respect to the Borrowing of LIBO Loans being continued as LIBO Loans shall commence on the date of conversion or the expiration of the current Interest Period applicable to such continuing Borrowing, as the case may be;

(vi) a Borrowing of LIBO Loans may be converted only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, unless the applicable Borrower pays all Breakage Costs incurred in connection with such conversion (it being understood that no Amendment No. 6 Consenting Lender shall be entitled to receive any amount under this SECTION 2.09(a)(vi) in connection with the Converted Term B-4 Loans); and

(vii) each request for a conversion or continuation of a Borrowing of LIBO Loans which fails to state an applicable Interest Period shall be deemed to be a request for an Interest Period of one (1) month.

(b) If the Borrower does not give notice to convert any Borrowing of LIBO Loans, or does not give notice to continue, or does not have the right to continue, any Borrowing as LIBO Loans, in each case as provided in SECTION 2.09(a) above, such Borrowing shall automatically be converted to, or continued as, as applicable, a Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans, at the expiration of the then-current Interest Period. The Administrative Agent shall, after it receives notice from the Borrower, promptly give each Lender notice of any conversion, in whole or part, of any Term Loan made by such Lender.

SECTION 2.10 Alternate Rate of Interest for Term Loans.

(a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBO Borrowing:

(i) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable (including, without limitation, because the LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Interest Period; provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time, or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making or maintaining their Term Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

-54-

then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent shall deliver promptly upon obtaining knowledge of the same), (i) any Borrowing Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBO Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a LIBO Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans unless withdrawn by the Borrower.

(b) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but either (w) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the LIBO Screen Rate), (x) the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the LIBO Screen Rate), (y) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Margin). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Class Lenders of any Class stating that such Required Class Lenders object to such amendment as to such Class of Term Loans; provided however that receipt of such written notice from such Required Class Lender shall not prevent the effectiveness of such amendment with respect to any other Class. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.10(b), only to the extent the LIBO Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Borrowing Request that requests the conversion of any Borrower to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBO Borrowing shall be ineffective, (y) if any Borrowing Request requests a LIBO Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans unless, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Borrower elects in its discretion to rescind such Borrowing Request; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such proposed amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of each Class; provided that, with respect to any proposed amendment containing any SOFR-Based Rate, the Lenders shall be entitled to object only to the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment contained therein. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of each Class have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(c) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

-55-

(d) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this SECTION 2.10, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this SECTION 2.10.

SECTION 2.11 Change in Legality.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if any Change in Law occurring after the Amendment No. 7 Effective Date shall make it unlawful for a Lender to make or maintain a LIBO Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to a LIBO Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower, such Lender may (x) declare that LIBO Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon any request by the Borrower for a LIBO Borrowing shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for a Prime Rate Loan unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and (y) require that all outstanding LIBO Loans made by such Lender be converted to Prime Rate Loans, in which event all such LIBO Loans shall be automatically converted to Prime Rate Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in SECTION 2.09(b). In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights hereunder, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the LIBO Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted LIBO Loans of such Lender, shall instead be applied to repay the Prime Rate Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such LIBO Loans.

(b) For purposes of this SECTION 2.11, a notice to the Borrower pursuant to SECTION 2.11(a) above shall be effective, if lawful, and if any LIBO Loans shall then be outstanding, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period; and otherwise such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.12 Default Interest. After the occurrence of any Event of Default pursuant to SECTION 7.01(a) or SECTION 7.01(b) and at all times thereafter while such Event of Default is continuing, interest shall accrue on all overdue amounts owing by the Borrower (after as well as before judgment, as and to the extent permitted by law) at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days as applicable) (the “Default Rate”) equal to the rate (including the Applicable Margin) in effect from time to time plus two percent (2.00%) per annum and such interest shall be payable on written demand.

SECTION 2.13 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.14 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any holding company of any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

(ii) subject any Credit Party or any Loan Party to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to Loans under this Agreement (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by SECTION 2.23 (for the avoidance of doubt, no duplication of the Borrower’s obligation under SECTION 2.23 with respect to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes is intended under this clause (ii)) and any Excluded Taxes); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting Loans made by such Lender;

-56-

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost in any material amount in excess of those incurred by similarly situated lenders to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan or to increase the cost in any material amount in excess of those incurred by similarly situated lenders to such Lender or to reduce the amount in any material respect of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this SECTION 2.14 and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this SECTION 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this SECTION for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor, and provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.15 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.16 Optional Prepayment of Term Loans; Reimbursement of Lenders.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay without premium (except as provided in SECTION 2.19(d)) or penalty (but subject to payment of Breakage Costs as provided herein) outstanding Term Loans of any Class in whole or in part, (x) with respect to LIBO Loans, upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written, telex or facsimile notice to the Administrative Agent, prior to 12:00 noon, and (y) with respect to Prime Rate Loans, on the same Business Day if written, telex or facsimile notice is received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 noon, subject in each case to the following limitations:

(i) all prepayments shall be applied to reduce scheduled remaining installments on the applicable Term Loans as directed by the Borrower;

(ii) subject to the foregoing, outstanding Prime Rate Loans of any Class shall be prepaid before outstanding LIBO Loans of such Class are prepaid (except as otherwise directed by the Borrower). Each partial prepayment of LIBO Loans shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (but in no event less than $5,000,000). No prepayment of LIBO Loans of any Class shall be permitted pursuant to this SECTION 2.16 other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, unless the Borrower reimburses the Lenders for all Breakage Costs associated therewith within ten (10) Business Days of receiving a written demand for such reimbursement which sets forth the calculation of such Breakage Costs in reasonable detail. No partial prepayment of a Borrowing of LIBO Loans shall result in the aggregate principal amount of the LIBO Loans remaining outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing being less than $5,000,000 (unless all such outstanding LIBO Loans are being prepaid in full); and

-57-

(iii) each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount, Type and Class of Term Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of LIBO Loans, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Term Loans were made. Each notice of prepayment shall be revocable, provided that, within ten (10) Business Days of receiving a written demand for such reimbursement which sets forth the calculation of such Breakage Costs in reasonable detail, the Borrower shall reimburse the Lenders for all Breakage Costs associated with the revocation of any notice of prepayment. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receiving notice from the Borrower hereunder, notify each applicable Lender of the principal amount, Type and Class of Term Loans held by such Lender which are to be prepaid, the prepayment date and the manner of application of the prepayment.

(b) The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender as set forth below for any loss (other than loss of anticipated profits) incurred or to be incurred by the Lenders in the reemployment of the funds resulting from any prepayment (for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, conversion to Prime Rate Loans or acceleration by virtue of, and after, the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) of any LIBO Loan required or permitted under this Agreement, if such LIBO Loan is prepaid other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBO Loan (it being understood that no Amendment No. 6 Consenting Lender shall be entitled to receive any amount under this SECTION 2.16(b) in connection with the Converted Term B-4 Loans). Such loss shall be the amount (herein, collectively, “Breakage Costs”) as reasonably determined by such Lender as the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender on the amount so paid, not prepaid or not borrowed at a rate of interest equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such LIBO Loan (but specifically excluding any Applicable Margin), for the period from the date of such payment or failure to borrow or failure to prepay to the last day (x) in the case of a payment or refinancing of a LIBO Loan with Prime Rate Loans other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBO Loan or the failure to prepay a LIBO Loan, of the then current Interest Period for such LIBO Loan or (y) in the case of such failure to borrow, of the Interest Period for such LIBO Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure to borrow, over (B) the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the London interbank market. Any Lender demanding reimbursement for such loss shall deliver to the Borrower from time to time one or more certificates setting forth the amount of such loss as determined by such Lender and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount was determined and such amounts shall be due within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of such notice.

(c) Whenever any partial prepayment of Term Loans are to be applied to LIBO Loans of any Class, such LIBO Loans shall be prepaid in the chronological order of their Interest Payment Dates or as the Borrower may otherwise designate in writing.

(d) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this SECTION 2.16 (which provisions shall not be applicable to this SECTION 2.16(d)), the Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay Term Loans of any Class from Lenders electing to participate in such prepayments at a discount to the par value of such Term Loans and on a non-pro rata basis (each, a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment”) pursuant to the applicable procedures described in this SECTION 2.16(d); provided that (A) no Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be made unless (A) immediately after giving effect to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be offered to all Lenders with Term Loans of such Class on a pro rata basis. Each Lender making such assignment pursuant to this SECTION 2.16(d) acknowledges and agrees that in connection with such assignment, (1) the Loan Parties then may have and later may come into possession of MNPI, (2) such Lender has independently, and without reliance on any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates, made its own analysis and determination to enter into such assignment, notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of the MNPI and (3) none of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to such Lender, and such Lender hereby waives and releases, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any claims such Lender may have against any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates, under Applicable Law or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the MNPI. Each Lender entering into such an assignment further acknowledges that the MNPI may not be available to the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders.

(ii) To the extent the Borrower seeks to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, the Borrower will provide written notice to the Auction Manager (and if not the Auction Manager, the Administrative Agent) substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto (each, a “Discounted Prepayment Option Notice”) that the Borrower

-58-

desires to prepay Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount specified therein by the Borrower (each, a “Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount”), in each case at a discount to the par value of such Term Loans as specified below. The Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount of Term Loans shall not be less than $10,000,000. The Discounted Prepayment Option Notice shall further specify with respect to the proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment: (A) the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount for Term Loans and the Class of Term Loans to which such offer relates, (B) a discount range (which may be a single percentage) selected by the Borrower with respect to such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment equal to a percentage of par of the principal amount of such Term Loans (the “Discount Range”) and (C) the date by which Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment which shall be at least five Business Days following the date of the Discounted Prepayment Option Notice (the “Acceptance Date”).

(iii) Upon receipt of a Discounted Prepayment Option Notice in accordance with SECTION 2.16(d)(ii), the Auction Manager (and if not the Auction Manager, the Administrative Agent) shall promptly notify each applicable Lender thereof. On or prior to the Acceptance Date, each Lender with Term Loans of the applicable Class may specify by written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto (each, a “Lender Participation Notice”) to the Administrative Agent (A) a maximum discount to par (the “Acceptable Discount”) within the Discount Range (for example, a Lender specifying a discount to par of 20% would accept a prepayment price of 80% of the par value of the Term Loans to be prepaid) and (B) a maximum principal amount (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent) of Term Loans of the applicable Class held by such Lender with respect to which such Lender is willing to permit a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment at the Acceptable Discount (“Offered Loans”). Based on the Acceptable Discounts and principal amounts of Term Loans of the applicable Class specified by the Lenders in Lender Participation Notices, the Auction Manager, with the consent of the Borrower, shall calculate the applicable discount for Term Loans (the “Applicable Discount”), which Applicable Discount shall be (A) the percentage specified by the Borrower if the Borrower has selected a single percentage pursuant to SECTION 2.16(d)(ii) for the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment or (B) otherwise, the highest Acceptable Discount at which the Borrower can pay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount in full (determined by adding the principal amounts of Offered Loans commencing with the Offered Loans with the highest Acceptable Discount); provided, however, that in the event that such Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount cannot be repaid in full at any Acceptable Discount, the Applicable Discount shall be the lowest Acceptable Discount specified by the Lenders that is within the Discount Range. The Applicable Discount shall be applicable for all Lenders who have offered to participate in the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and have Qualifying Loans (as defined below). Any Lender with outstanding Term Loans under the applicable Class whose Lender Participation Notice is not received by the Auction Manager by the Acceptance Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount to their par value within the Applicable Discount.

(iv) The Borrower shall make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment by prepaying those Term Loans (or the respective portions thereof) offered by the Lenders (“Qualifying Lenders”) that specify an Acceptable Discount that is equal to or greater than the Applicable Discount (“Qualifying Loans”) at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would exceed the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, the Borrower shall prepay such Qualifying Loans ratably among the Qualifying Lenders based on their respective principal amounts of such Qualifying Loans (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Auction Manager). If the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would be less than the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, the Borrower shall prepay all Qualifying Loans.

(v) Unless such notice is rescinded, each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be made within five Business Days of the Acceptance Date, without premium or penalty (and without Breakage Costs), upon notice substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto (each a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice”), delivered to the Auction Manager no later than 1:00 P.M. New York City time, two Business Days prior to the date of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, which notice shall specify the date and amount of the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and the Applicable Discount determined by the Auction Manager. Upon receipt of any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice the Auction Manager shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable to the applicable Lenders, subject to the Applicable Discount on the applicable Term Loans, on the date specified therein together with accrued interest (on the par principal amount) to, but not including, such date on the amount prepaid unless such notice is rescinded.

-59-

(vi) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to reasonable procedures (including as to timing, rounding, minimum amounts, Type and Interest Periods and calculation of Applicable Discount in accordance with SECTION 2.16(d)(iii) above) reasonably established by the Auction Manager and the Borrower.

(vii) Prior to the delivery of a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may withdraw its offer to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Discounted Prepayment Option Notice.

(viii) To the extent the Term Loans of any Class are prepaid pursuant to this SECTION 2.16(d), scheduled amortization amounts for the Term Loans of such Class under SECTION 2.04 shall be reduced on in direct order maturity by the principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid.

(ix) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this SECTION 2.16(d) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any pro rata payment requirements) (it being understood and acknowledged that purchases of the Term Loans contemplated by this SECTION 2.16(d) shall not constitute Investments by such Person) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any transaction contemplated by this SECTION 2.16(d). The Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any information provided by the Auction Manager and shall have no liability therefore.

SECTION 2.17 Mandatory Prepayment. The outstanding Obligations shall be subject to prepayment as follows:

(a) If on any date any Loan Party shall have received Net Proceeds from any sale, transfer or other disposition (including pursuant to a sale and leaseback transaction) of any Collateral permitted pursuant to clause (q) of the definition of “Permitted Dispositions”, to the extent that such Net Proceeds are not required to be applied to the payment of obligations of the Borrower or other borrowers under the ABL Facility, an amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds shall be applied within five Business Days after such date toward the prepayment of Term Loans as set forth in SECTION 2.17(f) unless (a) no Specified Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) the proceeds therefrom are utilized for purposes of replacing, restoring or repairing the assets in respect of which such proceeds were received or reinvesting in assets used or useful in any of the Loan Parties’ or Restricted Subsidiaries business within twelve (12) months of the receipt of such proceeds (or within eighteen (18) months of receipt of such proceeds if a letter of intent or other binding commitment to reinvest such proceeds is entered into within twelve (12) months of receipt of such proceeds) and (b) no such prepayment shall be required in respect of any Net Proceeds unless and until such amount exceeds $10,000,000 in any Fiscal Year (and all amounts under such amount may be retained by the Borrower).

(b) If on any date any Loan Party shall have received Net Proceeds from any casualty or other insured damage to, or any taking under power of eminent domain or by condemnation, expropriation or similar proceeding of, any Collateral of a Loan Party, to the extent that such Net Proceeds are not required to be applied to the payment of obligations of the Borrower or other borrowers under the ABL Facility, an amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds shall be applied within five Business Days after such date toward the prepayment of Term Loans as set forth in SECTION 2.17(f) unless (i) the proceeds therefrom are required to be paid to the holder of a Lien on such property or asset having priority over the Lien of the Collateral Agent, or (ii) the proceeds therefrom are utilized for purposes of replacing, restoring or repairing the assets in respect of which such proceeds, awards or payments were received or reinvesting in assets used or useful in any of the Loan Parties’ or their Restricted Subsidiaries’ business within twelve (12) months of the receipt of such proceeds (or within eighteen (18) months of receipt of such proceeds if a letter of intent or other binding commitment to reinvest such proceeds is entered into within twelve (12) months of receipt of such proceeds); provided that no such prepayment shall be required in respect of any Net Proceeds unless and until such amount exceeds $10,000,000 in any Fiscal Year (and all amounts under such amount may be retained by the Borrower).

-60-

(c) If on any date any Loan Party shall have received Net Proceeds (i) from any Refinancing Term Loans or Indebtedness pursuant to clause (v)(i) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” or (ii) from the incurrence of any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Permitted Indebtedness), an amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds shall be applied within five Business Days after such date toward the prepayment of Term Loans as set forth in SECTION 2.17(f).

(d) If, for any Fiscal Year of the Borrower commencing with the Fiscal Year ending January 28, 2012, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, the Borrower shall, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date (as defined below), apply an amount, if positive, equal to the excess of (i) the ECF Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow minus (ii) the principal amount of Term Loans optionally prepaid pursuant to SECTION 2.16 during such Fiscal Year toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in SECTION 2.17(f) and the amount expended by the Borrower pursuant to SECTIONS 2.16(d) and 9.04(g) during such Fiscal Year. Each such prepayment shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than five Business Days after the date on which the compliance certificate of the Borrower has been delivered pursuant to SECTION 5.01(d).

(e) [Reserved].

(f) Any prepayment of any Term Loans pursuant to SECTIONS 2.17(a) through (d) above shall be applied to repay Term Loans of each then outstanding Class, provided, that (i) any prepayment of any Term Loans pursuant to SECTION 2.17(c) shall be applied to repay Term Loans of only those Class(es) selected by the Borrower. Any prepayment of any Class of Term Loans in accordance with the foregoing shall be applied as directed by the Borrower, (ii) to the extent any Qualifying Secured Debt that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations requires a prepayment from Excess Cash Flow, the amount of the prepayment of the Term Loans required above shall be reduced in proportion of the ratio of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans then outstanding to the aggregate amount of the Term Loans and such Qualifying Secured Debt then outstanding and (iii) any Lender may elect to decline its share of any prepayment pursuant to clause (a), (b) or (d) above by giving notice to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day following the date the Borrower gives notice of such prepayment (any amount declined by a Lender pursuant to this subclause (iii) a “Declined Amount”). Subject to the foregoing, outstanding Prime Rate Loans of any Class shall be prepaid before outstanding LIBO Loans of such Class are prepaid. No prepayment of LIBO Loans of any Class shall be permitted pursuant to this SECTION 2.17 until the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, unless the Borrower reimburses the Lenders for all Breakage Costs associated therewith within fifteen (15) Business Days of receiving a written demand for such reimbursement which sets forth the calculation of such Breakage Costs in reasonable detail. In order to avoid such Breakage Costs, as long as no Specified Default has occurred and is continuing, at the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall hold all amounts required to be applied to LIBO Loans of a particular Class in a Cash Collateral Account and will apply such funds to the applicable LIBO Loans of such Class at the end of the then pending Interest Period therefor (provided that the foregoing shall in no way limit or restrict the Agents’ rights upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default).

(g) The Borrower shall prepay all Non-Converted Term B-4 Loans on the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this SECTION 2.17, (A) to the extent that any or all of the Excess Cash Flow of a Foreign Subsidiary is prohibited or delayed by any requirement of law from being repatriated to the Loan Parties, an amount equal to the portion of Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in clause (d) above, as the case may be, but only so long, as the applicable requirement of law will not permit repatriation to the Loan Parties (the Loan Parties hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable requirement of law to permit repatriation), and once a repatriation of any of such affected Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable requirement of law,

-61-

an amount equal to such Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than ten Business Days after such repatriation is permitted) applied (net of any taxes that would be payable or reserved against if such amounts were actually repatriated whether or not they are repatriated) to the repayment of the Term Loans, and (B) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Excess Cash Flow of a Foreign Subsidiary could have an adverse tax consequence with respect to such Excess Cash Flow, an amount equal to the Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement, including SECTION 2.17 shall be construed to require any Foreign Subsidiary to repatriate cash.

SECTION 2.18 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.19 Fees.

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Agents, for their respective accounts, (i) the fees set forth in the Fee Letter as and when payment of such fees is due as therein set forth and (ii) such other fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Agents.

(b) All fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent and other Credit Parties as provided herein. Once due, all fees shall be fully earned and shall not be refundable under any circumstances (except to the extent set forth in the Fee Letter).

(c) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender on the Closing Date an upfront fee equal to 1.00% of the Term Loan made by such Lender on the Closing Date (which fee may be netted by each Lender from the proceeds of its Term Loan made to the Borrower).

(d) In the event that, at any time after the Amendment No. 8 Effective Date and on or prior to the date which is six months after the Amendment No.  78 Effective Date and except for any event in connection with a Change in Control or other transaction prohibited by this Agreement, the Borrower makes any voluntary prepayment of all of the Term B-5 Loans with the proceeds of any secured term loan Indebtedness under any credit facility (other than pursuant to a Discounted Prepayment Offer or open market purchases), which term loan Indebtedness has a lower Yield than the Yield of the Term B-5 Loans and such term loan Indebtedness was incurred for the primary purpose of reducing the Yield of its term loan Indebtedness, then the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender with a Term B-5 Loan, a fee in an amount equal to 1.00% of such Lender’s Term B-5 Loans prepaid with the proceeds of such term loan Indebtedness.

SECTION 2.20 Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Account. The Administrative Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of the Borrower (each, the “Loan Account”) which will reflect (i) all Term Loans of each Class made by the Lenders to the Borrower or for the Borrower’s account and (ii) any and all other monetary Obligations that have become payable. The Loan Account will be credited with all amounts received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or from other Persons for the Borrower’s account, and the amounts so credited shall be applied as set forth in and to the extent required by SECTION 2.17(f) or 7.03, as applicable.

SECTION 2.21 Payments.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees, amounts payable under SECTION 2.14, 2.16(b) or 2.23, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its Funding Office, except that payments pursuant to SECTIONS 2.14, 2.16(b), 2.23, 9.03 or any other provision hence specifying a Person, shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments to the appropriate recipient promptly

-62-

following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, except with respect to LIBO Borrowings, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, if any payment due with respect to LIBO Borrowings shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, unless that succeeding Business Day is in the next calendar month, in which event, the date of such payment shall be on the last Business Day of subject calendar month, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

(b) Except as specifically provided herein all funds received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of SECTIONS 2.17(f) or 7.03 ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due to such respective parties.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

SECTION 2.22 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.23 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, however, that if any applicable withholding agent shall be required to deduct or remit any such Taxes from such payments, then (i) in the case of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions or remittances for such Taxes have been made by the applicable withholding agent (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this SECTION 2.23) the applicable Credit Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid or payable by such Credit Party on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document and any Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this SECTION 2.23) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (whether or not correctly or legally asserted) to the extent not already paid by the Loan Parties pursuant to SECTION 2.23(a); provided that if the Borrower reasonably believes that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, each Lender will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to obtain a refund of such taxes so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, result in any additional costs, expenses or risks or be otherwise disadvantageous to it; provided further, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this SECTION 2.23 for any penalties and interest incurred in any Fiscal Year for which such Lender is claiming compensation if such Lender does not furnish notice of such claim within six (6) months from the end of such Fiscal Year; provided further, that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then the beginning of such six month period shall be extended to include such period of retroactive effect. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Credit Party, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Credit Party, setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount was determined, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

-63-

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Each Lender shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by law, or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in, withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under the Loan Documents. Unless the applicable withholding agent has received forms or other documents satisfactory to it indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Lender are not subject to withholding Tax or are subject to such Tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Borrower, Administrative Agent or other applicable withholding agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) Each Lender that is a U.S. Person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Domestic Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.

(ii) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter when required by law or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) two duly completed and executed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party;

(B) two duly completed and executed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms);

(C) in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit L-1, or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to the effect that such Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments in connection with the Loan Documents are effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business and (y) two duly completed and executed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form);

(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership, or a is a Participant holding a participation granted by participating Lender), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit L-2, L-3 or L-4 (as applicable), Form W-9, Form W-8IMY (or other successor forms) or any other required information from each beneficial owner, as applicable (provided that, if the Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, a certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit L-2 shall be provided by such Lender on behalf of such direct or indirect partners); or

-64-

(E) any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax 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 requirements of law to permit the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

Each Lender shall, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of the forms described above, whenever a lapse in time or change in such Lender’s circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence so delivered expired, obsolete or inaccurate, promptly (1) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) renewals, amendments or additional or successor forms, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required in order to confirm or establish such Lender’s status or that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax or (2) notify Administrative Agent and the Borrower of its legal ineligibility to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation or information that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(f) [Reserved].

(g) Should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver any documentation required hereunder, the Loan Parties shall, at such Lender’s expense, take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

(h) If any Loan Party shall be required pursuant to this SECTION 2.23 to pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Credit Party to the extent that such Credit Party becomes subject to Taxes subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if applicable, subsequent to the date such Person becomes a party to this Agreement) as a result of any change in the circumstances of such Credit Party (other than a change in Applicable Law), including without limitation a change in the residence, place of incorporation, principal place of business of such Credit Party or a change in the branch or lending office of such Credit Party, as the case may be, such Credit Party shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize any amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant to this SECTION 2.23(h); provided, however, that such efforts shall not include the taking of any actions by such Credit Party that would result in any tax, costs or other expense to such Credit Party (other than a tax, cost or other expense for which such Credit Party shall have been reimbursed or indemnified by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) or any action which would or might in the reasonable opinion of such Credit Party have an adverse effect upon its business, operations or financial condition or otherwise be disadvantageous to such Credit Party.

(i) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its good faith discretion, that it has received a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amount pursuant to this SECTION 2.23, it shall pay over such refund within 30 days of its receipt thereof to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower or other relevant Loan Party under this SECTION 2.23 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Lender or Administrative Agent and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender or Administrative Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This SECTION 2.23 shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

-65-

(j) If a payment made to a Credit Party would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Credit Party fails 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 Credit Party shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by FATCA and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent any documentation reasonably requested by the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent sufficient for the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Credit Party has complied with such applicable reporting requirements and to determine the amount, if any, required to be withheld.

SECTION 2.24 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under SECTION 2.14 or cannot make LIBO Loans under SECTION 2.11, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to SECTION 2.23, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Term Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to SECTION 2.14 or SECTION 2.23, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be liable for such costs and expenses of a Lender requesting compensation if (i) such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement on a date after the Closing Date and (ii) the relevant Change in Law occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto.

(b) If any Lender becomes the subject of a Bail-In Action, requests compensation under SECTION 2.14 or cannot make Term Loans under SECTION 2.11, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to SECTION 2.23 or any Lender rejects an Extension request, then the Borrower may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in SECTION 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) or (ii) prepay any such Lender on a non pro rata basis; provided, however, that (i) in the case of an assignment, the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent required by SECTION 9.04, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Term Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts or in the case of a non pro rata prepayment) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under SECTION 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to SECTION 2.23, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation or otherwise accept such payment 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.

SECTION 2.25 Permitted Debt Exchanges.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, a “Permitted Debt Exchange Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower, the Borrower may from time to time following the Closing Date consummate one or more exchanges of Term Loans for Qualifying Secured Debt or Qualifying Other Debt in the form of notes (such notes, “Permitted Debt Exchange Notes,” and each such exchange a “Permitted Debt Exchange”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the final offering document in respect of a Permitted Debt Exchange Offer is delivered to the relevant Lenders, (ii) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Term Loans exchanged shall equal no more than the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Permitted Debt Exchange Notes issued in exchange for such Term Loans; provided that the aggregate principal amount of the Permitted Debt Exchange Notes may include accrued interest and premium (if any) under the Term Loans exchanged and underwriting discounts, fees, commissions and expenses in connection with the issuance of such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes, (iii) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans exchanged under each applicable Class by a Borrower pursuant to any

-66-

Permitted Debt Exchange shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrower on the date of the settlement thereof (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, any applicable exchanging Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, or such other form as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, in respect thereof pursuant to which the respective Lender assigns its interest in the Term Loans being exchanged pursuant to the Permitted Debt Exchange to the Borrower for immediate cancellation), (iv) if the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans of a given Class (calculated on the face amount thereof) tendered by Lenders in respect of the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer (with no Lender being permitted to tender a principal amount of Term Loans which exceeds the principal amount thereof of the applicable Class actually held by it) shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of such Class offered to be exchanged by the Borrower pursuant to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer, then the Borrower shall exchange Term Loans subject to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer tendered by such Lenders ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts so tendered, (v) all documentation in respect of such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications generally directed to the Lenders in connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing and made in consultation with the Borrower and the Auction Manager, and (vi) any applicable Minimum Tender Condition shall be satisfied.

(b) With respect to all Permitted Debt Exchanges effected by the Borrower pursuant to this SECTION 2.25, (i) such Permitted Debt Exchanges (and the cancellation of the exchanged Term Loans in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments, and (ii) such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall be made for not less than $5,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Term Loans; provided that subject to the foregoing clause (ii) the Representative may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Tender Condition”) to consummating any such Permitted Debt Exchange that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer in the Borrower’s discretion) of Term Loans of any or all applicable Classes be tendered.

(c) In connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, the Borrower and the Auction Manager shall mutually agree to such procedures as may be necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this SECTION 2.25 and without conflict with SECTION 2.25(a); provided that the terms of any Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall provide that the date by which the relevant Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be not less than a reasonable period (in the discretion of the Borrower and the Auction Manager) of time following the date on which the Permitted Debt Exchange Offer is made.

(d) The Borrower shall be responsible for compliance with, and hereby agrees to comply with, all applicable securities and other laws in connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, it being understood and agreed that (x) none of the Auction Manager, the Administrative Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility in connection with such Borrower’s compliance with such laws in connection with any Permitted Debt Exchange and (y) each Lender shall be solely responsible for its compliance with any applicable “insider trading” laws and regulations to which such Lender may be subject under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

ARTICLE III

Representations and Warranties

To induce the Credit Parties to enter into this Agreement and make the Term Loans, the Loan Parties executing this Agreement or a Joinder Agreement hereto, jointly and severally, make the following representations and warranties to each Credit Party with respect to each Loan Party on the Closing Date, and in each case as of the date such representation and warranty is made unless an earlier date is specified:

SECTION 3.01 Organization; Powers. Each Loan Party is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite corporate or other applicable entity power and authority to own its property and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted, except, in each case, where the failure to do so, or so possess, individually or in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party has all requisite organizational power and authority to execute and deliver and perform all its obligations under all Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party. Each Loan Party is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing (where such concept exists) in, every jurisdiction in

-67-

which the nature of its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing individually or in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Schedule 3.01 attached hereto sets forth, as of the Closing Date, each Loan Party’s name as it appears in official filings in its state of incorporation or organization, its state of incorporation or organization, organization type, organization number, if any, issued by its state of incorporation or organization, and its federal employer identification number.

SECTION 3.02 Authorization; Enforceability. The transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents to be entered into by each Loan Party are within such Loan Party’s corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, membership, partnership or other necessary action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is a party hereto or thereto and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party, when executed and delivered by such Loan Party will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, (ii) the need for filings and registrations necessary to create or perfect the Liens on the Collateral granted by the Loan Parties in favor of the Secured Parties and (iii) with respect to enforceability against Foreign Subsidiaries or under foreign laws, the effect of foreign laws, rules and regulations as they relate to pledges, if any, of Capital Stock in Foreign Subsidiaries and intercompany Indebtedness owed by Foreign Subsidiaries.

SECTION 3.03 Governmental and Other Approvals; No Conflicts. The transactions to be entered into and contemplated by the Loan Documents (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except for (i) such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) filings and recordings necessary to perfect in the United States Liens created under the Loan Documents and enforce the rights of the Lenders and the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents, in each case to the extent required under the Security Documents or (iii) the failure of which to obtain would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (b) will not violate any Applicable Law (except to the extent that such violation would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect) or the Charter Documents of any Loan Party, (c) do not violate or result in a default (with due notice, lapse of grace period or both) under any indenture or any other agreement, instrument or other evidence of Material Indebtedness, except to the extent that such default would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Loan Party, except Liens created under the Loan Documents and other Permitted Encumbrances.

SECTION 3.04 Financial Condition. The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Agents the Consolidated balance sheet, and statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (i) as of and for the Fiscal Year ended February 1, 2014, audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent public accountants, and (ii) as of and for the Fiscal Quarter ending May 3, 2014, certified by a Financial Officer of the Borrower. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes. Since February 1, 2014 there has been no event, change, condition or development that has had or could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.05 Properties.

(a) Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.05(a), each Loan Party has title to, or valid leasehold interests in or right to use, all its real and personal property material to its business, except for defects which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Schedule 3.05(b) sets forth with respect to each Loan Party a list of all registrations and issuances of the United States registered Intellectual Property owned by such Loan Party and all applications for the registrations or issuance thereof as of the Closing Date. To the knowledge of each Loan Party, each such registration, issuance and application is subsisting except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of each Loan Party, the Intellectual Property owned by each Loan Party is valid and enforceable, and no proceeding is pending challenging the ownership, registration, validity,

-68-

enforceability or use of any item of Intellectual Property except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party owns or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property used in its business, except to the extent that the failure to so own or have the right to use would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and each Loan Party’s use of Intellectual Property owned by such Loan Party does not infringe upon, misappropriate, dilute or otherwise violate the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements, misappropriations, dilutions or other violations that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No proceeding is pending (or to the knowledge of each Loan Party, threatened) in which any Person is alleging that a Loan Party is infringing, misappropriating, diluting, or otherwise violating the Intellectual Property rights of any Person except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Schedule 3.05(c)(i) sets forth the address (including county) of all Real Estate that is owned by the Loan Parties as of the Closing Date. Schedule 3.05(c)(ii) sets forth the address (including county) of all Real Estate that is leased by the Loan Parties as of the Closing Date. Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, to the knowledge of the Responsible Officers of the Loan Parties each of such Leases is in full force and effect and the Loan Parties are not in default of the terms thereof.

SECTION 3.06 Litigation and Environmental Matters.

(a) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.06(a), there are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the actual knowledge of Responsible Officers of a Loan Party, threatened in writing against or affecting any Loan Party as to which there is a reasonable expectation of an adverse determination which, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected individually or in the aggregate to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than Disclosed Matters).

(b) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.06(b), no Loan Party (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received written notice of any actual or potential claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability, which, in each case, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.06(c), to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, no Real Estate or facility owned, operated or leased by any Loan Party is listed or proposed for listing on the National Priorities List promulgated pursuant to CERCLA or similar state “Superfund” list except to the extent that such filings, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.06(d) as of the Closing Date, no Lien has been recorded or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened under any Environmental Law with respect to any Real Estate of the Loan Parties.

SECTION 3.07 Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each Loan Party is in compliance with all Applicable Law and all Material Indebtedness, and no event of default has occurred and is continuing thereunder, except in each case where the failure to comply or the existence of a default, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party has obtained all permits, licenses and other authorizations which are required with respect to the ownership and operations of its business, except where the failure to obtain such permits, licenses or other authorizations, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party is in compliance with all terms and conditions of all such permits, licenses, orders and authorizations, except where the failure to comply with such terms or conditions, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.08 Investment Company Status. No Loan Party is an “investment company” as defined in, and subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

-69-

SECTION 3.09 Taxes. Each Loan Party has timely filed or caused to be filed all tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, for which such Loan Party has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP, and as to which no Lien has arisen or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.10 ERISA. The Loan Parties and their ERISA Affiliates are in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not result in a Material Adverse Effect, each Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service and nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which would cause such Plan to lose its qualified status. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not result in a Material Adverse Effect, the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan subject to ERISA (based on the assumptions used for purposes of the most recent actuarial report prepared by such Plan’s actuaries) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan.

SECTION 3.11 Disclosure.

(a) None of the written reports, financial statements, certificates or other written information (other than any projections, pro formas, budgets and general market information) concerning the Loan Parties furnished by or on at the direction of any Loan Party to any Credit Party in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished (together with the Borrower’s (or its direct or indirect parent entity’s) Annual Reports on Form 10-K for prior fiscal years and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters since the last fiscal year-end, Form 8-Ks and Definitive Proxy Statement on Form 14A for the Borrower’s (or its direct or indirect parent entity’s) 2014 annual shareholder meeting)), when taken as a whole, contains, as of the date furnished, any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made.

(b) As of the Amendment No. 78 Effective Date, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification is true and correct in all respects.

SECTION 3.12 Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.12 sets forth the name of, and the ownership interest of each Loan Party in, each Subsidiary as of the Closing Date; there is no other Capital Stock of any class outstanding as of the Closing Date. To the knowledge of the Loan Parties, all such shares of Capital Stock as of the Closing Date are validly issued, fully paid, and, with respect to corporate shares, nonassessable.

SECTION 3.13 Insurance. Schedule 3.13 sets forth a description of all business interruption, general liability, directors and officers liability, comprehensive, casualty and other insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Loan Parties as of the Closing Date. Each insurance policy listed on Schedule 3.13 is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date and all premiums in respect thereof that are due and payable as of the Closing Date have been paid and such insurance is in such amounts and covering such risks and liabilities (and with such deductibles, retentions and exclusions) as are in accordance with normal and prudent industry practice. As of the Closing Date, none of BCF Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (a) has received notice from any insurer (or any agent thereof) that substantial capital improvements or other substantial expenditures will have to be made in order to continue such insurance or (b) has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers at a substantially similar cost.

SECTION 3.14 Labor Matters. As of the Closing Date, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against any Loan Party pending or, to the actual knowledge of any Responsible Officer of any Loan Party, threatened, except to the extent that strikes, lockouts or slowdowns would not reasonably be expected to result in a

-70-

Material Adverse Effect. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Loan Parties have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters to the extent that any such violation could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except to the extent that such liability would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, all payments due from any Loan Party, or for which any claim may be made against any Loan Party, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued in accordance with GAAP as a liability on the books of such Loan Party. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.14, as of the Closing Date no Loan Party is a party to or bound by any material collective bargaining agreement.

Negative Covenants

Until (i) the Commitments have expired or been terminated and (ii) the principal of and interest on each Term Loan and all fees and other Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations with respect to then unasserted claims) shall have been paid in full, each Loan Party covenants and agrees with the Credit Parties that:

SECTION 6.01 Indebtedness and Other Obligations. No Loan Party will, nor will it permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Indebtedness, except Permitted Indebtedness.

For purposes of determining compliance with this SECTION 6.01, in the event that an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) at any time meets the criteria of more than one of the categories described in “Permitted Indebtedness” or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to multiple clauses in the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness,” the Borrower, in its sole discretion, may classify or reclassify (or later divide, classify or reclassify) such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) and shall only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses. Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest, premium, fees or expenses, in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Capital Stock or preferred stock shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this SECTION 6.01.

-78-

SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by any Credit Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Credit Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by SECTION 9.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Term Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.

(b) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein (including SECTIONS 2.05, 2.06 and 2.10(b)), neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Loan Parties and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Agent(s) and the Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment, modification or other agreement shall:

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent or of any Default or Event of Default or mandatory prepayment hereunder shall not constitute an increase of any Commitment of any Lender);

-95-

(ii) without:

(A) the prior written consent of all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the Required Lenders), reduce the principal amount of any Obligation or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than the waiver of the Default Rate), or reduce any fees payable under the Loan Documents; provided that no amendment entered into pursuant to the terms of SECTION 2.10(b) shall constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (A);

(B) the prior written consent of all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the Required Lenders), postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Obligation, or any interest thereon, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the Maturity Date (it being understood that the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest or constitute a reduction, waiver or excuse of any payment of principal or interest and a waiver of interest pursuant to SECTION 2.12 shall not constitute a reduction, waiver or excuse of any payment of interest);

(C) the prior written consent of Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the Required Lenders), except for Permitted Dispositions or for Collateral releases as provided in SECTION 8.16, release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents (it being understood that entering into any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or incurring any Qualifying Secured Debt shall not constitute a release of all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents);

(D) the prior written consent of all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the Required Lenders), except as expressly permitted hereby and by the Facility Guarantees, release all or substantially all of the value of the Facility Guarantees; or

(E) the prior written consent of all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the Required Lenders), change SECTION 2.17(a) or (b) or SECTION 7.03 to adversely affect pro rata sharing;

(F) the prior written consent of all Lenders, change any of the provisions of this SECTION 9.02(b) or reduce the percentage required to consent in the definition of “Required Lenders”; or

(G) the prior written consent of all Lenders of the relevant Class, amend, waive, or otherwise modify the definition of “Required Class Lenders” as it relates to such Class.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this SECTION 9.02:

(i) in the event that the Borrower shall request that this Agreement or any other Loan Document be modified, amended or waived in a manner which would require the consent of the Lenders pursuant to SECTION 9.02(b) or all directly and adversely affected Lenders and such amendment is approved by the Required Lenders but not by the requisite percentage of the Lenders (other than the Required Lenders (or more than 50% of the directly and adversely affected Lenders)), the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to amend this Agreement without the consent of the Lender or Lenders which did not agree to the modification or amendment requested by the Borrower (such Lender or Lenders, collectively the “Minority Lenders”), provided that, with respect to each such Minority Lender and, solely in the case of Amendment No. 8, with respect to each consenting Lender determined by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (such Lender or Lenders, collectively the “Reduced Lenders” and, together with, the Minority Lenders, the “Replaced Lenders”) with respect to all or a portion of such Reduced Lender’s outstanding Term Loans as determined by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (such Term Loans, the “Reduced Term Loans” and, together with all of the Minority Lender’s Term Loans, collectively, the “Replaced Term Loans”), the Borrower shall, by giving written notice to Administrative Agent and such Replaced Lender of its election to do so, elect either (x) to cause such Replaced Lender (and such Replaced Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Replaced Term Loans in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 9.04 or (y) prepay such Replaced Lender on a non pro rata basis; provided further that (1) on the

-96-

date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to the Replaced Lender an amount equal to the principal of all outstanding Replaced Term Loans of the Replaced Lender; (2) on the date of such assignment, the Borrower shall pay all accrued interest on the Replaced Term Loans of such Replaced Lender and any amounts payable to such Replaced Lender pursuant to SECTIONS 2.14, 2.16(b) or 2.23 or otherwise as if it were a prepayment (and, if, other than in connection with a Change in Control or other transaction not permitted hereby, such Replaced Lender is being removed in connection with an amendment for the primary purpose of lowering the effective interest rates of the Term B-5 Loan or that modifies SECTION 2.19(d) in a manner adverse to such Replaced Lender after the Amendment No. 8 Effective Date but prior to the date which is six months after the Amendment No. 8 Effective Date, the Borrower shall also pay to such Replaced Lender a fee equal to 1.00% of the Term B-5 Loan of such Replaced Lender that is required to be so assigned); and (3) each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which the Minority Lenders did not consent. In connection with any such replacement, any Replaced Lender shall not be required to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation with respect to any required assignment of its Term Loans pursuant to this SECTION 9.02(c)(i) and the assignment of any Replaced Lender’s Replaced Loans to an assignee pursuant to this SECTION 9.02(c)(i) shall become effective immediately upon receipt by (i) such Replaced Lender of a notice that all Replaced Lender’s Replaced Term Loans are being required to be assigned to such assignee, which notice shall be signed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and (ii) the Administrative Agent (for the account of such Replaced Lender) of immediately available funds in an amount from (x) such assignee equal to the principal amount of such Replaced Lender’s Replaced Term Loan and (y) the Borrower equal to the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on such Replaced Lender’s Replaced Term Loan to, but excluding, the date of such payment. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Minority Lender, such Minority Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Minority Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Minority Lender;

(ii) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

(iii) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may without the input or consent of the Lenders, effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and Borrower to effect the provisions of SECTION 2.05 or 2.06 or to effect any refinancing, extension, renewal or replacement of the Term Loans with any Refinancing Term Loans, Qualifying Secured Debt or Qualifying Other Debt.

(iv) guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed by the Loan Parties and Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended, supplemented and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order (a) to comply with local Law or advice of local counsel, (b) to cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects or (c) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(v) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified (x) any obvious error, any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in any provision of the Loan Documents, (y) to effect administrative changes of a technical or immaterial nature or (z) incorrect cross references or similar inaccuracies in this Agreement or the applicable Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

-97-

(vi) in connection with an amendment that addresses solely a re-pricing transaction in which any Class of Term Loans is refinanced with a replacement Class of term loans bearing (or is modified in such a manner such that the resulting term loans bear) a lower Yield (a “Permitted Repricing Amendment”), only the consent of the Lenders holding Term Loans subject to such permitted repricing transaction that will continue as a Lender in respect of the repriced tranche of Term Loans or modified Term Loans.

(vii) notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) solely with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as such term is defined below) to permit the refinancing of all or any portion of any Class of Term Loans outstanding as of the applicable date of determination (the “Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan tranche hereunder (the “Replacement Term Loans”), provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans plus premiums, accrued interest, fees and expenses in connection therewith, (ii) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Refinanced Term Loans, unless the any such higher Applicable Margin applies after the final maturity date of all then outstanding Term Loans, (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity and final maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity and final maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing (without giving effect to nominal amortization) and (iv) the mandatory prepayment provisions of the Replacement Term Loans shall not require more than pro rata payments with the existing Term Loans.

(d) No notice to or demand on any Loan Party shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. Each holder of a Note shall be bound by any amendment, modification, waiver or consent authorized as provided herein, whether or not a Note shall have been marked to indicate such amendment, modification, waiver or consent and any consent by a Lender, or any holder of a Note, shall bind any Person subsequently acquiring a Note, whether or not a Note is so marked. No amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be effective against any Loan Party unless signed by such Loan Party.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, grant extensions of time for the satisfaction of any of the requirements under in respect of any particular Collateral or any particular Subsidiary if it determines that the satisfaction thereof with respect to such Collateral or such Subsidiary cannot be accomplished without undue expense or unreasonable effort or due to factors beyond the control of Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required to be satisfied under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(f) Subject to the provisos of this paragraph, for purposes of any amendment, modification, waiver or consent (other than pursuant to SECTIONS 9.02(b)(i), (ii), (iii) or any amendment, modification, waiver or consent that directly and adversely affects any member of the Sponsor Group in its capacity as a Lender disproportionately in relation to other affected Lenders) under any Loan Document, any Term Loans held by a member of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) shall be automatically deemed to be voted in the same proportion as all other Lenders who are not members of the Sponsor Group; provided that (a) in the event that any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code shall be instituted by or against the Borrower, each member of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) shall acknowledge and agree that they are each “insiders” under Section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code and, as such, the claims associated with the Term Loans and Commitments owned by it shall not be included in determining whether the applicable class of creditors holding such claims has voted to accept a proposed plan for purposes of Section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code, or, alternatively, to the extent that the foregoing designation is deemed unenforceable for any reason, each member of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) shall vote in such proceedings in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by those Lenders who are not members of the Sponsor Group, except to the extent that any plan of

-98-

reorganization proposes to treat the Obligations held by such member of the Sponsor Group in a manner that is less favorable in any material respect to such member of the Sponsor Group than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not members of the Sponsor Group; and (c) for purposes of this paragraph, for the avoidance of doubt, members of the Sponsor Group shall be deemed to not include Investment Funds (and the foregoing limitations shall not apply in respect of Investment Funds).

SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally pay all Credit Party Expenses incurred as of the Closing Date on the Closing Date. Thereafter, the Loan Parties shall jointly and severally pay all Credit Party Expenses within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice therefor setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail; provided that in the event the Loan Parties have a bona fide dispute with any such expenses, payment of such disputed amounts shall not be required until the earlier of the date such dispute is resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Loan Parties or thirty (30) days after receipt of any such invoice (and any such disputed amount which is so paid shall be subject to a reservation of the Loan Parties’ rights with respect thereto).

(b) The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Secured Parties and each of their Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and each of the respective stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, and advisors of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all damages, actual out-of-pocket losses, claims, actions, causes of action, settlement payments, obligations, liabilities and related expenses, (including legal expenses limited to the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Agents and one counsel for all other Indemnitees (other than the Agents) plus one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction plus, in the event of an actual or potential conflict of which the Borrower has been advised, one additional counsel to all the affected persons, incurred, suffered, sustained or required to be paid by, or asserted against, any Indemnitee) arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to or arising from any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto or (v) any documentary taxes, assessments or similar charges made by any Governmental Authority by reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (w) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any Agent or such Indemnitee or any Related Indemnitee of such Indemnitee or (x) are relating to disputes among Indemnitees (other than the Agents and ArrangersArranger in their capacities as such and other than conduct involving a Loan Party) or (y) are finally determined in a non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction to have resulted from a material breach by such Indemnitee of its obligations under this Agreement provided further that to the extent of any amounts paid to an Indemnitee in respect of this SECTION 9.03 for indemnified liabilities, such Indemnitee, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees to refund and return any and all amounts paid by the Borrower to it if, pursuant to operation of any of the foregoing clauses (w) through (y), such Indemnitee was finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non-appealable judgment to not be entitled to receipt of such amount. In connection with any indemnified claim hereunder, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to select its own counsel and the Loan Parties shall promptly pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.

(c) No party to this Agreement shall assert and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each such party hereby waives, any claim against any other party to this Agreement or any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing in this paragraph (c) shall limit the Loan Parties’ indemnification obligations under SECTION 9.03(b) to any Indemnitee.

-99-

(d) The provisions of paragraphs (b) and (c) of this SECTION 9.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of any Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Credit Party. All amounts due under this SECTION 9.03 shall be payable within thirty (30) days of written demand therefor, which written demand shall set forth such amounts in reasonable detail.

(e) For purposes of the foregoing, “Related Indemnitee” of an Indemnitee means (i) any controlling person or controlled affiliate of such Indemnitee involved in the negotiation and preparation of the Loan Documents, performing services under the Loan Documents or extending of credit or holding of credit hereunder and (ii) the respective directors, officers, partners, member, agents or employees of such Indemnitee or any of its controlling person or controlled affiliates involved in the negotiation and preparation of the Loan Documents, performing services under the Loan Documents or extending of credit or holding of credit hereunder.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Term Loans of any Class, the amount of Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the trade date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment or, if no trade date is so specified, as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $500,000, unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under clauses (a) or (b) of SECTION 7.01 or under clauses (h) or (j) (in each case with respect to the Borrower) of SECTION 7.01 has occurred and is continuing,

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws and any tax forms required by SECTION 2.23(e),

(E) No assignment shall be made to any member of the Sponsor Group (other than an Investment Fund) except in accordance with clause (f) below and no member of the Sponsor Group (other than an Investment Fund) may assign any Term Loans except in compliance with the requirements of this clause (b) and the requirements of paragraph (f)(i)(x) and (f)(i)(y) below, and

(F) the Borrower shall, upon reasonable request by the Administrative Agent, provide such documentation to the Administrative Agent in connection with any assignment by a Lender to an assignee that bears a relationship to the Borrower under Section 108(e)(4) of the Code, so as to allow the Administrative Agent to determine whether the assigned portion of the Term Loan will have original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, if so, the amount of such original issue discount.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this SECTION, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of SECTIONS 2.14, 2.23, 2.24 and 9.03, subject to the limitations and requirements of those SECTIONS including documentation requirements in SECTION 2.23, and entitled to any fees payable hereunder that have accrued for such Lender’s account but have not yet been paid). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this SECTION shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c)(i) of this SECTION.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and principal amount (and related interest amounts) of the Term Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by SECTION 2.23(e) and 2.23(j) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b)(ii) of this SECTION and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b)(i) of this SECTION, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

-101-

(vi) The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature” and words of like import in any Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) other than to (x) the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (other than (i) Investment Funds and (ii) other than to a member of the Sponsor Group to the extent the terms of such participation comply with the requirements applicable to an assignment to a member of the Sponsor Group and for purposes of this paragraph (c) and paragraph (f) below, any Term Loans in which a member of the Sponsor Group holds a participating interest shall be subject to the 20% limitation set forth in paragraph (f)(i)(z) below and shall be treated as held directly by such member of the Sponsor Group for purposes of such paragraph; provided that (A) any Lender who sells a participation to a member of the Sponsor Group shall notify the Agent of the terms thereof and (B) no member of the Sponsor Group (other than an Investment Fund) shall sell a participation unless the conditions set forth in paragraph (f)(i)(x) below are satisfied) or (y) any Disqualified Institution (provided that such Disqualified Institutions shall have been identified in writing to all Lenders (other than, with respect to any Disqualified Institutions that has been identified by name in accordance with the definition of “Disqualified Institutions”, any Affiliates thereof that are readily identifiable on the basis of their name)) and in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loans owing to it), provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent 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. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first proviso to SECTION 9.02(b) that directly and adversely affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this SECTION, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of SECTIONS 2.14, 2.23 and 2.24 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the requirements and limitations of those SECTIONS to the same extent as if it were a Lender; provided that any documentation required to be provided by a Participant pursuant to SECTION 2.23(e) shall be provided solely to the participating Lender) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this SECTION. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 9.08 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (solely for tax purposes), shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each Participant’s interest in the Term Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Term Loan or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Term Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, and such Lender, each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under SECTION 2.14 or SECTION 2.23 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or the right to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law after the participant becomes a Participant.

-102-

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this SECTION shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Term Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Term Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Term Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Term Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Term Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Term Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, such party will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this SECTION 9.04, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Term Loan to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Term Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Term Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV.

(f) (i) Notwithstanding SECTION 9.04(b), any Lender may assign all or a portion of its Term Loans to a member of the Sponsor Group (other than a natural person) in accordance with this SECTION 9.04(f) (and any member of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) shall not assign any Term Loan pursuant to SECTION 9.04(b) above or acquire a participation in a Term Loan or sell a participation in its Term Loans unless the conditions set forth in subparagraph (x) and, solely in the case of an assignment, subparagraph (y) below are satisfied); provided that:

(x) each Lender making such assignment to a member of the Sponsor Group acknowledges and agrees that in connection with such assignment, (1) such member of the Sponsor Group then may have and later may come into possession of MNPI, (2) such Lender has independently, and without reliance on any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates, made its own analysis and determination to enter into such assignment notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of the MNPI and (3) none of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to such Lender, and such Lender hereby waives and releases, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any claims such Lender may have against any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, and their respective Affiliates, under Applicable Law or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the MNPI; each Lender entering into such an assignment further acknowledges that the MNPI may not be available to the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders;

(y) the assigning Lender or the Lender to whom such assignment is being made, as the case may be, and the member of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) purchasing such Lender’s Term Loans or assigning Term Loans to such Lender, as applicable, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance”) in lieu of an Assignment and Acceptance; and

(z) no Term Loan may be assigned to a member of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) pursuant to this SECTION 9.04(f), if after giving effect to such assignment, the members of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) in the aggregate would own (or hold participations in) in excess of 20% of all Term Loans of any Class then outstanding at the time of assignment.

-103-

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no member of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) shall have any right to (a) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender to which representatives of the Loan Parties are not invited, (b) receive any information or material prepared by Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among Administrative Agent and/or one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to any Loan Party or its representatives (and in any case, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Term Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to ARTICLE II), or (c) make or bring (or participate in, other than as a passive participant in or recipient of its pro rata benefits of) any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender with respect to any duties or obligations or alleged duties or obligations of such Agent or any other such Lender under the Loan Documents.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in SECTION 9.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Required Class Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders and/or Required Class Lenders, as applicable, have (a) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (b) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (c) directed or required the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document all Term Loans held by any member of the Sponsor Group (other than an Investment Fund) shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders and/or Required Class Lenders, as applicable, have taken any actions.

(iv) Additionally, if there is any assignment of any Term Loan pursuant to this SECTION 9.04(f), each Loan Party and each member of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) that becomes a Lender hereunder hereby agree that if a case under Title 11 of the United States Code is commenced against any Loan Party, such Loan Party shall seek (and each such member of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) shall consent) to provide that the vote of any member of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) (in its capacity as a Lender) with respect to any plan of reorganization of such Loan Party shall not be counted except that any member of the Sponsor Group’s (other than any Investment Fund) vote (in its capacity as a Lender) may be counted to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat the Obligations held by such member of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) in a manner that is less favorable to such member of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrower.

(g) Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its Term Loans to any Loan Party through (x) offers to purchase open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with SECTION 2.16(d) and/or (y) open market purchases on a non-pro rata basis, provided that in the case of clause (y) (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) any Term Loans that are so assigned will be automatically and irrevocably cancelled and the aggregate principal amount of the tranches and installments of the relevant Term Loans then outstanding shall be reduced by an amount equal to the principal amount of such Term Loans, (iii) each Lender making such assignment to any Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that in connection with such assignment, (1) the Loan Parties then may have and later may come into possession of MNPI, (2) such Lender has independently, and without reliance on any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates, made its own analysis and determination to enter into such assignment, notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of the MNPI and (3) none of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to such Lender, and such Lender hereby waives and releases, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any claims such Lender may have against Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates, under Applicable Law or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the MNPI (other than claims as a result of a breach of SECTION 9.04).

SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, indemnities, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Term Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and, notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect until (i) the Commitments have expired or been terminated and (ii) the principal of and interest on each Term Loan and all fees and other Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations with respect to then unasserted claims) shall have been paid in full.

SECTION 9.14 Additional Waivers.

(a) The Obligations are the joint and several obligation of each Loan Party. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any other Loan Party under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or under Applicable Law, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release of any Loan Party from, any of the terms or provisions of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the Collateral or other security held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party.

(b) The obligations of each Loan Party to pay the Obligations in full hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the payment of such Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Loan Party or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Party as a matter of law or equity (other than the payment of such Obligations).

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Loan Party, other than the payment in full in cash of all the Obligations after the termination of all Commitments to any Loan Party under any Loan Document. The Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any other Loan Party, or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Loan Party hereunder except to the extent that all the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and performed in full after the termination of Commitments to any Loan Party under any Loan Document. Pursuant to Applicable Law, each Loan Party waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to Applicable Law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Loan Party against any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other waiver or other provision set forth in this Agreement, each Loan Party waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by any Credit Party, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Credit Party’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against such Loan Party by the operation of Section 580(d) of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. Each Loan Party waives all rights and defenses that such Loan Party may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Estate which means, among other things: (i) a Credit Party may collect from any Loan Party without first foreclosing on any Real Estate or personal property Collateral pledged by a Loan Party; (ii) if any Credit Party forecloses on any Real Estate pledged by any Loan Party, the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which

-107-

that Real Estate is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the Real Estate is worth more than the sale price; and (iii) the Credit Parties may collect Obligations from a Loan Party even if a Credit Party, by foreclosing on any such Real Estate, has destroyed any right any Loan Party may have to collect from the other Loan Parties. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses any Loan Party may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Estate. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Each Loan Party hereby absolutely, knowingly, unconditionally, and expressly waives any and all claim, defense or benefit arising directly or indirectly under any one or more of Sections 2787 to 2855 inclusive of the California Civil Code or any similar law of California.

(e) Each Loan Party hereby agrees to keep each other Loan Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of its business, affairs, finances, and financial condition, and its ability to perform its Obligations under the Loan Documents, and in particular as to any adverse developments with respect thereto. Each Loan Party hereby agrees to undertake to keep itself apprised at all times as to the status of the business, affairs, finances, and financial condition of each other Loan Party, and of the ability of each other Loan Party to perform its Obligations under the Loan Documents, and in particular as to any adverse developments with respect to any thereof. Each Loan Party hereby agrees, in light of the foregoing mutual covenants to inform each other, and to keep themselves and each other informed as to such matters, that the Credit Parties shall have no duty to inform any Loan Party of any information pertaining to the business, affairs, finances, or financial condition of any other Loan Party, or pertaining to the ability of any other Loan Party to perform its Obligations under the Loan Documents, even if such information is adverse, and even if such information might influence the decision of one or more of the Loan Parties to continue to be jointly and severally liable for, or to provide Collateral for, the Obligations of one or more of the other Loan Parties. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Party hereby expressly waives any duty of the Credit Parties to inform any Loan Party of any such information.

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this SECTION shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
