to the Board of Directors of the issuer upon the occurrence of such a breach or
default represent a minority of the aggregate voting power of all directors of
Board of Directors of the issuer. The percentage of Voting Equity Interests of
any issuer thereof beneficially owned by a Person shall be determined by
reference to the percentage of the aggregate voting power of all Voting Equity
Interests of such issuer that are represented by the Voting Equity Interests
beneficially owned by such Person.

SECTION 1.02    Classification of Loans and Borrowings. For purposes of this
Agreement, Loans and Borrowings may be classified and referred to by Class
(e.g., a “Term Loan”) or by Type (e.g., a “Eurocurrency Loan”) or by Class and
Type (e.g., a “Eurocurrency Term Loan”). Borrowings also may be classified and
referred to by Class (e.g., a “Term Loan Borrowing”) or by Type (e.g., a
“Eurocurrency Borrowing”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “Eurocurrency Term
Borrowing”).
SECTION 1.03    Terms Generally. The definitions of terms herein shall apply
equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the
context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine,
feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall
be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “will”
shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.”
Unless the context requires otherwise, (a) any definition of or reference to any
agreement (including this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), instrument or
other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement,
instrument or other document as from time to time amended, amended and restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such
amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein), (b) any reference
herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and
assigns (subject to any restrictions on assignment set forth herein) and, in the
case of any Governmental Authority, any other Governmental Authority that shall
have succeeded to any or all functions thereof, (c) the words “herein,” “hereof”
and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to
this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (d)
all references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be
construed to refer to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to,
this Agreement and (e) the words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to
have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and
intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts and
contract rights. All terms herein which are defined as having the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Existing Credit Agreement shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement, including
any defined or used terms and cross-references therein.
SECTION 1.04    Accounting Terms; GAAP.
(a)    All accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall
be construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including financial
ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to
this Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with GAAP.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of
determining compliance with any test contained in this Agreement, the First Lien
Leverage Ratio, the Interest Coverage Ratio, the Total Leverage Ratio and the
Secured Leverage Ratio shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis to give effect
to all Specified Transactions (including the Transactions) that have been made
during the applicable period of measurement or subsequent to such period and
prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation is made.
(c)    Where reference is made to “Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis” or similar language, such consolidation shall not include
any Subsidiaries of the Borrower other than the Restricted Subsidiaries;
provided that any calculations or measure shall be determined hereunder with
respect to Borrower (including, without limitation, Consolidated EBITDA,
Consolidated Interest Expense, Consolidated Net Income, Consolidated Total
Assets, Consolidated Total Debt, the First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Interest
Coverage Ratio, Permitted Receivables Financing, Total Leverage Ratio and the
Secured Leverage Ratio) on a consolidated basis, which consolidation shall only
include the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries.
(d)    If there occurs a change in generally accepted accounting principles
occurring after the Effective Date and such change would cause a change in the
method of calculation of any term or measure used in this Agreement (an
“Accounting Change”), then the Borrower may elect, as evidenced by a written
notice of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, that such term or measure
shall be calculated as if such Accounting Change had not occurred; provided
that, with respect to any Accounting Change (other than an Accounting Change in
respect of the treatment of leases), in Borrower’s good faith determination,
Borrower’s election to calculate such term or measure as if such Accounting
Change had not occurred will not be less favorable to the Lenders in any
material respect than the method of calculation of such term or measure as in
effect on the Effective Date. If such an

63

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

election is made, and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so
request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate
in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent
thereof in light of such Accounting Change (subject to the approval of the
Required Lenders).
(e)    Unless otherwise specified or the context requires otherwise, all
references to First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Interest Coverage Ratio, the Total
Leverage Ratio and the Secured Leverage Ratio and any financial definitions
(including, without limitation, Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Interest
Expense, Consolidated Net Income, Consolidated Total Assets, Consolidated Total
Debt, the First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Interest Coverage Ratio, Permitted
Receivables Financing, Total Leverage Ratio and the Secured Leverage Ratio)
herein shall refer to the calculation thereof in respect of the Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis for the most recently ended Test
Period.
SECTION 1.05    Effectuation of Transactions. All references herein to Parent,
the Borrower and their subsidiaries shall be deemed to be references to such
Persons, and all the representations and warranties of Parent, the Borrower and
the other Loan Parties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall be deemed made, in each case, after giving effect to the Acquisition and
the other Transactions to occur on the Effective Date, unless the context
otherwise requires.
SECTION 1.06    Limited Condition Transactions.
When determining compliance with, or inapplicability of, any provision or term
of this Agreement in connection with or related to any Limited Condition
Transaction and any actions or transactions related or appurtenant thereto, at
the option of the Borrower, including for purposes of:
(i)    determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which
requires the calculation of the Interest Coverage Ratio, the Secured Leverage
Ratio, the Total Leverage Ratio or the First Lien Leverage Ratio;
(ii)    determining the accuracy of representations and warranties and/or
whether a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or
any subset of Defaults or Events of Default); or
(iii)    testing availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement
(including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or
Consolidated Total Assets or by reference to the Available Amount or the
Available Equity Amount);
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 compliance with, or inapplicability of,
such provision or term shall be deemed to be the first date (the “LCT Test
Date”) any of the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction
are entered into. If after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition
Transaction and any actions or transactions related or appurtenant thereto, the
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries would have been permitted or not
prohibited to consummate such Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or
transactions related or appurtenant thereto on the relevant LCT Test Date in
compliance with such term or provision, such term or provision shall be deemed
to have been complied with (or satisfied) for all purposes; provided that (a) if
financial statements are available for one or more fiscal quarters after such
LCT Test Date, the Borrower may elect in its sole discretion to determine such
compliance or inapplicability of such terms or provisions on the basis of such
financial statements, and the LCT Test Date shall be the date of determination
of such compliance or inapplicability after the date of availability of such
financial statements, (b) no determination of compliance or inapplicability of
any such term or provision shall be required at any time after the applicable
LCT Test Date for such Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or
transactions related or appurtenant thereto and (c) Consolidated Interest
Expense for purposes of the Interest Coverage Ratio will be calculated using an
assumed interest rate as reasonably determined by the Borrower.
For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election, (1) if any
term or provision of this Agreement for which compliance was determined or
tested as of the LCT Test Date would at any time after the LCT

64

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Test Date otherwise not be complied with for any reason, such terms and
provisions will nevertheless continue to be determined to be complied with; (2)
no such determination of compliance or inapplicability of any such term or
provision of this Agreement shall be affected by any subsequent Default or Event
of Default and such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed not to have
occurred or be continuing solely for purposes of such compliance or
inapplicability; and (3) all determinations of compliance with or
inapplicability of any term or provision of this Agreement for any action or
inaction that are not comprised within the action or inaction contemplated or
related to such Limited Condition Transaction after the LCT Test Date and prior
to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is
consummated or the date that such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated,
expires or is abandoned, shall be determined after giving pro forma effect to
such Limited Condition Transaction. Until the consummation of the Sports Network
II Investment, such transaction shall be treated under this Agreement as a
Limited Condition Transaction in respect of which an LCT Election has been made.
SECTION 1.07        Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in
connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any
comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws), (a) if any asset,
right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right,
obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have
been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person and (b) if
any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have
been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of
its Equity Interests at such time.
SECTION 1.08        Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on
Eurocurrency 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
Eurocurrency Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector
industry initiatives are currently (as of the Effective Date) underway to
identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London
interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate is
no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in Section
2.14 of this Agreement, such Section 2.14 provides a mechanism for determining
an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will notify the
Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.14, in advance of any change to the reference
rate upon which the interest rate on Eurocurrency 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, whether
the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or
replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section
2.14(b), 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

THE CREDITS
SECTION 2.01    Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, each Term B-2a Lender severally agrees to make a Term B-2a Loan to the
Borrower on the Effective Date denominated in dollars in a principal amount not
exceeding its Term B-2 Commitment and (b) each Revolving Lender severally agrees
to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower denominated in dollars from time to time
during the Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount which
will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment. The Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving
Loans. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
SECTION 2.02    Loans and Borrowings.
(a)    Each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be made as part of a
Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders
ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class.
The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not
relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder, provided that the
Commitments of the Lenders are several and, other than as expressly provided
herein with respect to a Defaulting Lender, no Lender shall be responsible for
any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required hereby.
(b)    Subject to Section 2.14, each Revolving Loan Borrowing and Term Loan
Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as the
Borrower may request in accordance herewith; provided that all Borrowings made
on the Effective Date must be made as ABR Borrowings unless the Borrower shall
have given the notice required for a Eurocurrency Borrowing under Section 2.03.
Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan.
(c)    At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurocurrency
Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral
multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum;
provided that a Eurocurrency Borrowing that results from a continuation of an
outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal
to such outstanding Borrowing. At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such
Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the
Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum. Each Swingline Loan
shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and
not less than the Borrowing Minimum. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class
may be outstanding at the same time.
SECTION 2.03    Requests for Borrowings. To request a Revolving Loan Borrowing
or Term Loan Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of
such request by telephone (a)(x) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not
later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of
the proposed Borrowing (or, in the case of any Eurocurrency Borrowing to be made
on the Effective Date, such shorter period of time as may be agreed to by the
Administrative Agent) or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than
11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided
that any such notice of an ABR Revolving Loan Borrowing to finance the
reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(f) may be
given no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed
Borrowing. Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be
delivered by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission to the
Administrative Agent and shall be signed by the Borrower. Each such Borrowing
Request shall specify the following information:
(i)    whether the requested Borrowing is to be a Term B-2 Loan Borrowing, a
Revolving Loan Borrowing or a Borrowing of any other Class (specifying the Class
thereof);
(ii)    the aggregate amount of such Borrowing;
(iii)    the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

66

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iv)    whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency
Borrowing;
(v)    in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to
be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of
the term “Interest Period”;
(vi)    the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to
be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06 or, in
the case of any ABR Revolving Loan Borrowing or Swingline Loan requested to
finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(f),
the identity of the Issuing Bank that made such LC Disbursement, and
(vii)    except on the Effective Date and with respect to the initial
Borrowings, that, as of the date of such Borrowing, the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02(a) and Section 4.02(b) are satisfied.
If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified as to any Borrowing,
then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is
specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the
Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s
duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with
this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the
applicable Class of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan
to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.
SECTION 2.04    Swingline Loans.
(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including Section
2.22), in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this
Section 2.04, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the
Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period denominated
in dollars in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will
not result in (i) the aggregate Revolving Exposures exceeding the aggregate
Revolving Commitments or (ii) the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans
outstanding exceeding Swingline Sublimit; provided that the Swingline Lender
shall be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline
Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.
(b)    To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative
Agent and the Swingline Lender of such request (i) by telephone (confirmed in
writing) or by facsimile or electronic communication, if arrangements for doing
so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank (confirmed by telephone),
not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, or, if agreed by the Swingline
Lender, 3:00 p.m. New York City time on the day of such proposed Swingline Loan.
Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date
(which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Swingline Loan and
in the case of any ABR Revolving Loan Borrowing or Swingline Loan requested to
finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(f),
the identity of the Issuing Bank that made such LC Disbursement. The Swingline
Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a
credit to any accounts of the Borrower maintained with the Swingline Lender for
the Swingline Loan (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the
reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(f), by
remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the requested date of such Swingline Loan.
(c)    The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative
Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require
the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a
portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the
aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate.
Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice
thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice the Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Revolving
Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as
provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or
Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its
obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant

67

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default
or any reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such
payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction
whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this
paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as
provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section
2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving
Lenders pursuant to this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly
remit to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving
Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any
participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and
thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the
Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by
the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other Person on behalf of the
Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender
of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted
by the Swingline Lender to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received
by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative
Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to
this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear;
provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline
Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and thereafter to the
Borrower, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the
Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan
pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the
payment thereof.
(d)    The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, designate as
additional Swingline Lenders one or more Revolving Lenders that agree to serve
in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Revolving Lender of an
appointment as a Swingline Lender hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement,
which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower, executed by the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and such designated Swingline Lender, and, from and after
the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Revolving Lender shall have all
the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement and (ii)
references herein to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to include such
Revolving Lender in its capacity as a lender of Swingline Loans hereunder.
(e)    The Borrower may terminate the appointment of any Swingline Lender as a
“Swingline Lender” hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such
Swingline Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent. Any such termination
shall become effective upon the earlier of (i) such Swingline Lender’s
acknowledging receipt of such notice and (ii) the fifth Business Day following
the date of the delivery thereof; provided that no such termination shall become
effective until and unless the Swingline Exposure of such Swingline Lender shall
have been reduced to zero. Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such
termination, the terminated Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and
shall continue to have all the rights of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement
with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to such termination, but shall
not make any additional Swingline Loans.
(f)    Any Swingline Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement
among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Swingline Lender and
the successor Swingline Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the
Lenders of any such replacement of a Swingline Lender.  At the time any such
replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid interest
accrued for the account of the replaced Swingline Lender pursuant to Section
2.13(a).  From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the
successor Swingline Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the
replaced Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans
made thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Swingline Lender” shall
be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swingline Lender, or to
such successor and all previous Swingline Lenders, as the context shall
require.  After the replacement of a Swingline Lender hereunder, the replaced
Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the
rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect
to Swingline Loans made by it prior to its replacement, but shall not be
required to make additional Swingline Loans.
(g)    Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Swingline
Lender, any Swingline Lender may resign as a Swingline Lender at any time upon
30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent,

68

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such Swingline Lender shall be
replaced in accordance with Section 2.04(f) above.
SECTION 2.05    Letters of Credit.
(a)    General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including
Section 2.22), each Issuing Bank that is so requested by the Borrower agrees, in
reliance upon the agreement of the Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section
2.05, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in dollars for the Borrower’s own
account (or for the account of any Subsidiary so long as the Borrower and such
other Subsidiary are co-applicants and jointly and severally liable in respect
of such Letter of Credit), in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, which shall reflect the standard
operating procedures of such Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time
during the Revolving Availability Period and prior to the fifth Business Day
prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, provided that, if applicable Issuing
Bank’s standard operating procedures do not provide for the issuance of
electronic Letters of Credit, it shall only be required to issue paper Letters
of Credit hereunder; provided, further, that Royal Bank of Canada and Deutsche
Bank AG New York Branch shall only be required to issue Standby Letters of
Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit
application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by
the Borrower with, any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms
and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be
fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period,
obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired (without
any drawing having been made thereunder that has not been rejected or honored)
or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. The letters of credit issued and
outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement on the Effective Date as
described on Schedule 2.05(a) (the “Existing Letters of Credit”) shall be deemed
to be “Letters of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents (and, for avoidance of doubt, the interests and participations therein
of all the Revolving Lenders in the Existing Letters of Credit as of the
Effective Date shall be deemed re-allocated ratably in proportion to their
respective Revolving Commitments as of such date).
(b)    Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request
the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an
outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall deliver in writing by hand
delivery or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements
for doing so have been approved by the recipient) to the applicable Issuing Bank
and the Administrative Agent (at least five Business Days before the requested
date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension or such shorter period as the
applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent may agree) a notice
requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of
Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on
which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (d)
of this Section 2.05), the currency and amount of such Letter of Credit, the
name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall
be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If
requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a
letter of credit or bank guarantee application on such Issuing Bank’s standard
form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit (an “LC
Application”). A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended
only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of
Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving
effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) subject to Section
9.04(b)(ii), the Applicable Fronting Exposure of each Issuing Bank shall not
exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment or its Revolving Commitment, (ii) the
aggregate Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving
Commitments, (iii) the Revolving Exposure of the applicable Issuing Bank shall
not exceed its Revolving Commitment, (iv) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not
exceed the aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments and (v) the LC Exposure of the
applicable Issuing Bank shall not exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment. No
Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue (or amend) any Letter of
Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or
arbitrator shall enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing (or amending)
the Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any
directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental
Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit the issuance
(or amendment) of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in
particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to the Letter of
Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement

69

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in
effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any
unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective
Date and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it, (ii) the
issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of general
application of such Issuing Bank now or hereafter applicable to letters of
credit generally, (iii) except as otherwise agreed by such Issuing Bank, the
Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $250,000 or (iv) any
Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, if after giving effect to Section
2.22(a)(iv), any Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure remains outstanding, unless
such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash
Collateral, reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank with the Borrower or
such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure
arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued (or amended)
or such Letter of Credit and all other LC Exposure as to which such Issuing Bank
has Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure.
(c)    Notice. Each Issuing Bank agrees that it shall not permit any issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit to occur unless it shall
have given to the Administrative Agent any written notice thereof required under
paragraph (m) of this Section and each Issuing Bank hereby agrees to give such
notice.
(d)    Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the
close of business on the earlier of (i) the date that is one year after the date
of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or
extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date
that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date; provided that
if such expiry date is not a Business Day, such Letter of Credit shall expire at
or prior to close of business on the next succeeding Business Day; provided,
however, that any Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Borrower,
include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically
for additional consecutive periods of one year or less (but not beyond the date
that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date) unless the
applicable Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof within the time period
specified in such Letter of Credit or, if no such time period is specified, at
least 30 days prior to the then-applicable expiration date, that such Letter of
Credit will not be renewed.
(e)    Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit or an amendment to
a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof, and without any further action
on the part of the Issuing Bank that is the issuer thereof or the Lenders, such
Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally acquires from such Issuing Bank without
recourse or warranty (regardless of whether the conditions set forth in Section
4.02 shall have been satisfied), a participation in such Letter of Credit equal
to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount
available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in
furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
such Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC
Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the
date due as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section 2.05 in dollars, or of any
reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason.
Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance
whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of
Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or
termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be
made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(f)    Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in
respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement
by paying to the Issuing Bank, with notice of such payment given to the
Administrative Agent, an amount equal to such LC Disbursement in the same
currency as the LC Disbursement not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives notice
of such LC Disbursement; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than
$1,000,000, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth
herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or Section 2.04 that such
payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Loan Borrowing or a Swingline Loan, in
each case in an equivalent amount, and, to the extent so financed, the
Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by
the resulting ABR Revolving Loan Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower
fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each
Revolving Lender of

70

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in
respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.
Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to
the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from
the Borrower, in dollars and in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with
respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis
mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this
paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable
Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly
following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower
pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such
payment to the applicable Issuing Bank in dollars or, to the extent that
Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse
such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their
interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this
paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the
funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall
not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to
reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(g)    Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC
Disbursements as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section 2.05 and the
obligations of the Revolving Lenders as provided in paragraph (e) of this
Section 2.05 is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all
circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or
enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other
document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or
invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in
any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of
such Letter of Credit, (iv) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default,
(v) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right
that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary, the Issuing Bank
or any other person, or (vi) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether
or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of
this Section 2.05, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a
right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of their Affiliates
shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with
the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to
make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred
to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or
delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication
under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to
make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or
any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Banks;
provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank
from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed
to consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are
hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law)
suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to
exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented
under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto
expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct
on the part of an Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment), such Issuing Bank shall be
deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the
foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that,
with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in
substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank
may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such
documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such
Letter of Credit, and any such acceptance or refusal shall be deemed not to
constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(h)    Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly
following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a
demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly
notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by hand
delivery, facsimile or electronic communication (if arrangements for doing so
have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) of such demand for payment
and whether such Issuing Bank has made an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided
that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the
Borrower of its obligation to

71

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such
LC Disbursement in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Section.
(i)    Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement,
then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the
date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear
interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made
to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at
the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the
Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph
(f) of this Section 2.05, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued
pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and
after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (f) of
this Section 2.05 to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of
such Lender to the extent of such payment and shall be payable within two
Business Days of demand or, if no demand has been made, within two Business Days
of the date on which the Borrower reimburses the applicable LC Disbursement in
full. If any Revolving Lender shall not have made its Applicable Percentage of
such LC Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided in clause
(f) above, such Revolving Lender shall agree to pay interest on such amount, for
each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid at a
rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules or practices on interbank compensation.
(j)    Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default under clause (a), (b),
(h) or (i) of Section 7.01 shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day on
which the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required
Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving
Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50.0% of the aggregate LC
Exposure of all Revolving Lenders) demanding the deposit of Cash Collateral
pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the
Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the
benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, an amount of cash in dollars equal
to the portions of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit, as of such
date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation
to deposit such Cash Collateral shall become effective immediately, and such
deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice
of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the
Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01. The Borrower also shall
deposit Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required
by Section 2.11(b). Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent
as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower
under this Agreement. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, if
any Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure remains outstanding (after giving effect
to Section 2.22(a)(iv)), then promptly upon the request of the Administrative
Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to
the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover such
Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral
provided by the Defaulting Lender). The Administrative Agent shall have
exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal,
over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such
deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of
the Administrative Agent in Permitted Investments and at the Borrower’s risk and
expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on
such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall
be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC
Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so
applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of
the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans
has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC
Exposure representing more than 50.0% of the aggregate LC Exposure of all the
Revolving Lenders), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower
under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. If the
Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a
result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or the existence of a Defaulting
Lender, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned
to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been
cured or waived or after the termination of Defaulting Lender status, as
applicable. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral
hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(b), such amount (to the extent not applied as
aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower as and to the extent that, after
giving effect to such return, the Borrower would remain in compliance with
Section 2.11(b) and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

72

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(k)    Designation of Additional Issuing Banks. The Borrower may, at any time
and from time to time, designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more
Revolving Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The
acceptance by a Revolving Lender of an appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder
shall be evidenced by an agreement, which shall be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, executed
by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such designated Revolving Lender
and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Revolving
Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this
Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed
to include such Revolving Lender in its capacity as an issuer of Letters of
Credit hereunder.
(l)    Termination of an Issuing Bank. The Borrower may terminate the
appointment of any Issuing Bank as an “Issuing Bank” hereunder by providing a
written notice thereof to such Issuing Bank, with a copy to the Administrative
Agent. Any such termination shall become effective upon the earlier of (i) such
Issuing Bank’s acknowledging receipt of such notice and (ii) the fifth Business
Day following the date of the delivery thereof; provided that no such
termination shall become effective until and unless the LC Exposure attributable
to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (or its Affiliates) shall have
been reduced to zero. At the time any such termination shall become effective,
the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated
Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). Notwithstanding the effectiveness of
any such termination, the terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto
and shall continue to have all the rights of an Issuing Bank under this
Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such
termination, but shall not issue any additional Letters of Credit.
(m)    Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed
by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in addition to its
notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, report in writing
to the Administrative Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent
periods as shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect
of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including all issuances,
extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all
disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) within five Business Days following the
time that such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of
Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the
currency and face amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or
extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii)
on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the
date, currency and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on
which the Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be
reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and
currency and amount of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day,
such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as
to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.
(n)    Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the
Issuing Bank and the Borrower, when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules
of the ISP98 shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of
UCP shall apply to each Commercial Letter of Credit, and as to all matters not
governed thereby, the laws of the State of New York.
SECTION 2.06    Funding of Borrowings.
(a)    Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the
proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in dollars
by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, to the applicable account of the
Administrative Agent most-recently designated by it for such purpose by notice
to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in
Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the
Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an
account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing
Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of
an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(f) shall be remitted by the
Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that
Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.05(f) to reimburse
such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests
may appear.

73

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender
prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available
on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in
reliance on such assumption and in its sole discretion, make available to the
Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made
its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent,
then the applicable Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent an amount
equal to such share on demand of the Administrative Agent. If such Lender does
not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon demand of the Administrative
Agent therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and
the Borrower agrees to pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover
from such Lender or the Borrower interest on such corresponding amount, for each
day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to
but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the
case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules
on interbank compensation, the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative
Agent to be its cost of funding such amount, or (ii) in the case of the
Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing in accordance with
Section 2.13. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then
such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing.
(c)    Obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and Revolving
Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and to
make payments pursuant to Section 9.03(c) are several and not joint. The failure
of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any
payment under Section 9.03(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve
any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and,
other than as expressly provided herein with respect to a Defaulting Lender, no
Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its
Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section
9.03(c).
SECTION 2.07    Interest Elections.
(a)    Each Revolving Loan Borrowing and Term Loan Borrowing initially shall be
of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request or designated by
Section 2.03 and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial
Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request or designated by Section
2.03. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a
different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency
Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section.
The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of
the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated
ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the
Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.
This Section shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or
continued.
(b)    To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify
the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a
Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were
requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on
the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election
Request shall be irrevocable and confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile
or other electronic transmission to the Administrative Agent of a written
Interest Election Request signed by the Borrower.
(c)    Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the
following information in compliance with Section 2.03:
(i)    the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if
different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof,
the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case
the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall
be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

74

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ii)    the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest
Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)    whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a
Eurocurrency Borrowing; and
(iv)    if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the
Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election,
which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest
Period.”
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does
not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(d)    Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request in accordance
with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the
applicable Class of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each
resulting Borrowing.
(e)    If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with
respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at
the end of such Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected
an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
SECTION 2.08    Termination and Reduction of Commitments.
(a)    Unless previously terminated, the Term B-2 Commitments of the Term B-2a
Lenders shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
on the Effective Date and (ii) the funding of the Term B-2a Loans to the
Borrower. The Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity
Date. The Term B-1 Commitment terminated on the Third Amendment Effective Date.
(b)    The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the
Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of
any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not
less than $1,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the
Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of
the Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the
aggregate Revolving Exposures would exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments.
(c)    The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to
terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least
one Business Day prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction,
specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following
receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of
the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this
Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the
Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is
conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of
the proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or the occurrence of some
other identifiable event or condition, in which case such notice may be revoked
by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the
specified effective date of termination) if such condition is not satisfied. Any
termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent.
Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the
Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.
SECTION 2.09    Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
(a)    The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal
amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Revolving Maturity Date,
(ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid
principal amount of

75

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.10 and (iii) to the
Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made by
the Swingline Lender on the earlier to occur of (A) the date that is 10 Business
Days after such Loan is made and (B) the Revolving Maturity Date; provided that
on each date that a Revolving Loan Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay
all Swingline Loans that were outstanding on the date such Borrowing was
requested.
(b)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an
account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender
resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal
and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record
(i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the
Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest
due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender
hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent
hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
(d)    The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or
(c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts
of the obligations recorded therein, provided that the failure of any Lender or
the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall
not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay any amounts due
hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any
inconsistency between the entries made pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) of
this Section, the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
paragraph (c) of this Section shall control.
(e)    Any Lender may request through the Administrative Agent that Loans of any
Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower
shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order
of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its
registered assigns) and in a form provided by the Administrative Agent and
approved by the Borrower.
SECTION 2.10    Amortization of Term Loans.
(a)    Subject to adjustment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, the
Borrower shall repay Term B-1 Loan Borrowings and Term B-2 Loan Borrowings on
the last Business Day of each of March, June, September and December (commencing
on December 31, 2019 in the case of Term B-2 Loans) in the amount equal to (i)
in the case of the Term B-1 Loans, (A) in the case of each such installment due
prior to the Term B-1 Loan Maturity Date, 0.25% of the aggregate original
principal amount of the Term B-1 Loans outstanding as of the Third Amendment
Effective Date (as reduced, to the extent applicable, prior to the Effective
Date pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement) and (B) in the case of the
installment due on the Term B-1 Loan Maturity Date, the entire remaining balance
of the Term B-1 Loan, and (ii) in the case of Term B-2 Loans, (A) in the case of
each such installment due prior to the Term B-2 Loan Maturity Date, 0.25% of the
aggregate original principal amount of the Term B-2 Loans outstanding as of the
Effective Date and (B) in the case of the installment due on the Term B-2 Loan
Maturity Date, the entire remaining balance of the Term B-2 Loan.
(b)    Any prepayment of a Term Loan Borrowing of any Class (i) pursuant to
Section 2.11(a)(i) shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled and
outstanding repayments of the Term Loan Borrowings of such Class to be made
pursuant to this Section as directed by the Borrower (and absent such direction
in direct order of maturity) and (ii) pursuant to Section 2.11(c) shall be
applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled and outstanding repayments of the
Term Loan Borrowings of such Class to be made pursuant to this Section, or,
except as otherwise provided in any Refinancing Amendment or Loan Modification
Offer, pursuant to the corresponding section of such Refinancing Amendment or
Loan Modification Offer, as applicable, in direct order of maturity.
(c)    Prior to any repayment of any Term Loan Borrowings of any Class
hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the
applicable Class to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by
telephone (confirmed by hand delivery or facsimile) of such election not later
than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, two Business Day before the scheduled date
of such repayment. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as

76

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall make such
designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to
minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.16. Each repayment of a Borrowing
shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing.
Repayments of Term Loan Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on
the amount repaid.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if on any
date (the “Test Date”) (x) the maturity date for any of the then outstanding
Other Debt shall fall within 91 days of the Test Date, (y) an amount in excess
of $200,000,000 of the outstanding principal amount of such Other Debt shall
remain outstanding and (z) the First Lien Leverage Ratio is in excess of 2.50 to
1.00, then each Term B-1 Loan Maturity Date shall automatically be accelerated
to the Test Date and all of the Term B-1 Loans shall thereupon be due and
payable on the Test Date, together with all interest and fees accrued thereon or
in respect thereof and any amounts payable pursuant hereto, including Sections
2.15, 2.16 and 2.17.
SECTION 2.11    Prepayment of Loans.
(a)    (i) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time
to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (subject
to the immediately succeeding proviso); provided that in the event that, on or
prior to the date that is six months after the Effective Date, the Borrower (A)
makes any prepayment of Term B-2 Loans in connection with any Repricing
Transaction the primary purpose of which is to decrease the Effective Yield on
such Term B-2 Loans or (B) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in
a Repricing Transaction the primary purpose of which is to decrease the
Effective Yield on the Term B-2 Loans, the Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Lenders,
(x) in the case of clause (A), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the principal
amount of the Term B-2 Loans being prepaid in connection with such Repricing
Transaction and (y) in the case of clause (B), an amount equal to 1.00% of the
aggregate amount of the applicable Term B-2 Loans outstanding immediately prior
to such amendment that are subject to an effective pricing reduction pursuant to
such Repricing Transaction.
(ii)    Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, so long
as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower
may prepay the outstanding Term Loans on the following basis:
(A)    The Borrower shall have the right to make a voluntary prepayment of Term
Loans at a discount to par (such prepayment, the “Discounted Term Loan
Prepayment”) pursuant to a Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment,
Borrower Solicitation of Discount Range Prepayment Offers or Borrower
Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, in each case made in accordance
with this Section 2.11(a)(ii); provided that (x) the Borrower shall not make any
Borrowing of Revolving Loans to fund any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and (y)
the Borrower shall not initiate any action under this Section 2.11(a)(ii) in
order to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment with respect to any Class unless
(I) at least ten Business Days shall have passed since the consummation of the
most recent Discounted Term Loan Prepayment with respect to such Class as a
result of a prepayment made by the Borrower on the applicable Discounted
Prepayment Effective Date; or (II) at least three Business Days shall have
passed since the date the Borrower was notified that no Term Lender was willing
to accept any prepayment of any Term Loan and/or Other Term Loan at the
Specified Discount, within the Discount Range or at any discount to par value,
as applicable, or in the case of Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment
Offers, the date of the Borrower’s election not to accept any Solicited
Discounted Prepayment Offers.
(B)    (1) Subject to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower may from
time to time offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by providing the
Auction Agent with three Business Days’ notice in the form of a Specified
Discount Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such offer shall be made
available, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to each Term Lender and/or
each Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual tranche
basis, (II) any such offer shall specify the aggregate principal amount offered
to be prepaid (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Amount”) with respect to each
applicable tranche, the tranche or tranches of Term Loans subject to such offer
and the specific percentage discount to par (the “Specified Discount”) of such
Term Loans to be prepaid (it being

77

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

understood that different Specified Discounts and/or Specified Discount
Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different tranches of Term
Loans and, in such an event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer
pursuant to the terms of this Section), (III) the Specified Discount Prepayment
Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $10,000,000 and whole
increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such offer shall remain
outstanding through the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date. The Auction
Agent will promptly provide each relevant Term Lender with a copy of such
Specified Discount Prepayment Notice and a form of the Specified Discount
Prepayment Response to be completed and returned by each such Term Lender to the
Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on
the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant
Term Lenders (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date”).
(2)    Each relevant Term Lender receiving such offer shall notify the Auction
Agent (or its delegate) by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date
whether or not it agrees to accept a prepayment of any of its relevant then
outstanding Term Loans at the Specified Discount and, if so (such accepting Term
Lender, a “Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender”), the amount and the tranches
of such Term Lender’s Term Loans to be prepaid at such offered discount. Each
acceptance of a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by a Discount Prepayment
Accepting Lender shall be irrevocable. Any Term Lender whose Specified Discount
Prepayment Response is not received by the Auction Agent by the Specified
Discount Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept the
Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment.
(3)    If there is at least one Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender, the
Borrower will make prepayment of outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this
paragraph (B) to each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender in accordance with
the respective outstanding amount and tranches of Term Loans specified in such
Term Lender’s Specified Discount Prepayment Response given pursuant to
subsection (2); provided that, if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans
accepted for prepayment by all Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders exceeds the
Specified Discount Prepayment Amount, such prepayment shall be made pro-rata
among the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders in accordance with the
respective principal amounts accepted to be prepaid by each such Discount
Prepayment Accepting Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the
Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its
reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Specified Discount
Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within three
Business Days following the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date, notify
(I) the Borrower of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such offer, the
Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and the aggregate principal amount of the
Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the tranches to be prepaid, (II) each Term
Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, and the aggregate principal
amount and the tranches of Term Loans to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on
such date and (III) each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender of the Specified
Discount Proration, if any, and confirmation of the principal amount, tranche
and Type of Loans of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on
such date. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the
foregoing notices to the Borrower and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in
such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the
Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below
(subject to subsection (J) below).
(C)    (1) Subject to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower may from
time to time solicit Discount Range Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction
Agent with three Business Days’ notice in the form of a Discount Range
Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at
the sole discretion of the Borrower, to each Term Lender and/or each Lender with
respect to any Class of Loans on an individual tranche basis, (II) any such
notice shall specify the maximum aggregate principal amount of the relevant Term
Loans (the “Discount Range Prepayment Amount”), the tranche or tranches of Term
Loans subject to such offer and the maximum and minimum percentage discounts to
par (the “Discount Range”) of the principal amount of such Term Loans with
respect to each relevant tranche of Term Loans willing to be prepaid by the
Borrower (it being understood that different Discount Ranges and/or Discount
Range Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different

78

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

tranches of Term Loans and, in such an event, each such offer will be treated as
a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section), (III) the Discount
Range Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than
$10,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each
such solicitation by the Borrower shall remain outstanding through the Discount
Range Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each
relevant Term Lender with a copy of such Discount Range Prepayment Notice and a
form of the Discount Range Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding
relevant Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than
5:00 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery
of such notice to the relevant Term Lenders (the “Discount Range Prepayment
Response Date”). Each relevant Term Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer
shall be irrevocable and shall specify a discount to par within the Discount
Range (the “Submitted Discount”) at which such Lender is willing to allow
prepayment of any or all of its then outstanding Term Loans of the applicable
tranche or tranches and the maximum aggregate principal amount and tranches of
such Term Lender’s Term Loans (the “Submitted Amount”) such Term Lender is
willing to have prepaid at the Submitted Discount. Any Term Lender whose
Discount Range Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the
Discount Range Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to
accept a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any
discount to their par value within the Discount Range.
(2)    The Auction Agent shall review all Discount Range Prepayment Offers
received on or before the applicable Discount Range Prepayment Response Date and
shall determine (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding
requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the
Applicable Discount and Term Loans to be prepaid at such Applicable Discount in
accordance with this subsection (C). The Borrower agrees to accept on the
Discount Range Prepayment Response Date all Discount Range Prepayment Offers
received by Auction Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, in the
order from the Submitted Discount that is the largest discount to par to the
Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par, up to and including the
Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount
Range (such Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the
Discount Range being referred to as the “Applicable Discount”) which yields a
Discounted Term Loan Prepayment in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
lower of (I) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount and (II) the sum of all
Submitted Amounts. Each Term Lender that has submitted a Discount Range
Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at a discount to par that is larger than
or equal to the Applicable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably
consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Submitted Amount (subject to
any required proration pursuant to the following subsection (3)) at the
Applicable Discount (each such Term Lender, a “Participating Lender”).
(3)    If there is at least one Participating Lender, the Borrower will prepay
the respective outstanding Term Loans of each Participating Lender in the
aggregate principal amount and of the tranches specified in such Term Lender’s
Discount Range Prepayment Offer at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the
Submitted Amount by all Participating Lenders offered at a discount to par
greater than the Applicable Discount exceeds the Discount Range Prepayment
Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the relevant Term Loans for those
Participating Lenders whose Submitted Discount is a discount to par greater than
or equal to the Applicable Discount (the “Identified Participating Lenders”)
shall be made pro-rata among the Identified Participating Lenders in accordance
with the Submitted Amount of each such Identified Participating Lender and the
Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding
requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will
calculate such proration (the “Discount Range Proration”). The Auction Agent
shall promptly, and in any case within five Business Days following the Discount
Range Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the Borrower of the respective Term
Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the Discounted Prepayment Effective
Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount of the
Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the tranches to be prepaid, (II) each Term
Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and
the aggregate principal amount and tranches of Term Loans to be prepaid at the
Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Participating Lender of the
aggregate principal amount and tranches of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the
Applicable Discount on such date, and (IV) if applicable, each Identified
Participating Lender of the Discount Range Proration. Each determination by the
Auction Agent

79

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Term Lenders
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The
payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable
by the Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with
subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).
(D)    (1) Subject to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower may from
time to time solicit Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers by providing the
Auction Agent with three Business Days’ notice in the form of a Solicited
Discounted Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be
extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to each Term Lender and/or
each Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual tranche
basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate dollar amount of
the Term Loans (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount”) and the tranche or
tranches of Term Loans the Borrower is willing to prepay at a discount (it being
understood that different Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amounts may be offered
with respect to different tranches of Term Loans and, in such an event, each
such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this
Section), (III) the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount shall be in an
aggregate amount not less than $10,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof and (IV) each such solicitation by the Borrower shall remain
outstanding through the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The
Auction Agent will promptly provide each relevant Term Lender with a copy of
such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice and a form of the Solicited
Discounted Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Term Lender to the
Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time on the
third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant
Term Lenders (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date”). Each Term
Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer shall (x) be irrevocable, (y)
remain outstanding until the Acceptance Date, and (z) specify both a discount to
par (the “Offered Discount”) at which such Term Lender is willing to allow
prepayment of its then outstanding Term Loan and the maximum aggregate principal
amount and tranches of such Term Loans (the “Offered Amount”) such Term Lender
is willing to have prepaid at the Offered Discount. Any Term Lender whose
Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by
the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have
declined prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount.
(2)    The Auction Agent shall promptly provide the Borrower with a copy of all
Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received on or before the Solicited
Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Borrower shall review all such
Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers and select the largest of the Offered
Discounts specified by the relevant responding Term Lenders in the Solicited
Discounted Prepayment Offers that is acceptable to the Borrower (the “Acceptable
Discount”), if any. If the Borrower elects to accept any Offered Discount as the
Acceptable Discount, then as soon as practicable after the determination of the
Acceptable Discount, but in no event later than by the third Business Day after
the date of receipt by the Borrower from the Auction Agent of a copy of all
Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers pursuant to the first sentence of this
subsection (2) (the “Acceptance Date”), the Borrower shall submit an Acceptance
and Prepayment Notice to the Auction Agent setting forth the Acceptable
Discount. If the Auction Agent shall fail to receive an Acceptance and
Prepayment Notice from the Borrower by the Acceptance Date, the Borrower shall
be deemed to have rejected all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.
(3)    Based upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Response Date, within three Business Days after receipt of an
Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted Prepayment Determination
Date”), the Auction Agent will determine (in consultation with the Borrower and
subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole
reasonable discretion) the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of Term
Loans (the “Acceptable Prepayment Amount”) to be prepaid by the Borrower at the
Acceptable Discount in accordance with this Section 2.11(a)(ii)(D)). If the
Borrower elects to accept any Acceptable Discount, then the Borrower agrees to
accept all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by
the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, in the order from largest
Offered Discount to smallest Offered Discount, up to and including the
Acceptable Discount. Each

80

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Term Lender that has submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer with an
Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount shall
be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its
Offered Amount (subject to any required pro-rata reduction pursuant to the
following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (each such Term Lender, a
“Qualifying Lender”). The Borrower will prepay outstanding Term Loans pursuant
to this subsection (D) to each Qualifying Lender in the aggregate principal
amount and of the tranches specified in such Term Lender’s Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Offer at the Acceptable Discount; provided that if the aggregate
Offered Amount by all Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than
or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loans for those
Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the
Acceptable Discount (the “Identified Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made pro rata
among the Identified Qualifying Lenders in accordance with the Offered Amount of
each such Identified Qualifying Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation
with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made
in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited
Discount Proration”). On or prior to the Discounted Prepayment Determination
Date, the Auction Agent shall promptly notify (I) the Borrower of the Discounted
Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the
Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the tranches to be prepaid, (II) each Lender
of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Acceptable Discount, and the
Acceptable Prepayment Amount of all Term Loans and the tranches to be prepaid to
be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Qualifying Lender
of the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of such Term Lender to be
prepaid at the Acceptable Discount on such date, and (IV) if applicable, each
Identified Qualifying Lender of the Solicited Discount Proration. Each
determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing
notices to the Borrower and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to
the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted
Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to
subsection (J) below).
(E)    In connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the Borrower and
the Term Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may require as a
condition to any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the payment of customary fees
and expenses from the Borrower in connection therewith.
(F)    If any Term Loan is prepaid in accordance with paragraphs (B) through (D)
above, the Borrower shall prepay such Term Loans on the Discounted Prepayment
Effective Date. The Borrower shall make such prepayment to the Auction Agent,
for the account of the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating
Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, at the Administrative Agent’s
office in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and all such prepayments shall
be applied to the remaining principal installments of the relevant tranche of
Term Loans on a pro rata basis across such installments. The Term Loans so
prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the par
principal amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment
Effective Date. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders,
Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable. The aggregate
principal amount of the tranches and installments of the relevant Term Loans
outstanding shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate
principal amount of the tranches of Term Loans prepaid on the Discounted
Prepayment Effective Date in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment.
(G)    To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Term
Loan Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures consistent, with the
provisions in this Section 2.11(a)(ii), established by the Auction Agent acting
in its reasonable discretion and as reasonably agreed by the Borrower.
(H)    Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for
purposes of this Section 2.11(a)(ii), each notice or other communication
required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its
delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon Auction Agent’s (or its

81

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of such notice or
communication; provided that any notice or communication actually received
outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the
opening of business on the next Business Day.
(I)    Each of the Borrower and the Term Lenders acknowledges and agrees that
the Auction Agent may perform any and all of its duties under this Section
2.11(a)(ii) by itself or through any Affiliate of the Auction Agent and
expressly consents to any such delegation of duties by the Auction Agent to such
Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by such Affiliate. The
exculpatory provisions pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to each Affiliate
of the Auction Agent and its respective activities in connection with any
Discounted Term Loan Prepayment provided for in this Section 2.11(a)(ii) as well
as activities of the Auction Agent.
(J)    The Borrower shall have the right, by written notice to the Auction
Agent, to revoke in full (but not in part) its offer to make a Discounted Term
Loan Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice,
Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice
therefor at its discretion at any time on or prior to the applicable Specified
Discount Prepayment Response Date (and if such offer is revoked pursuant to this
subclause (J), any failure by the Borrower to make any prepayment to a Term
Lender, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall not constitute
a Default or Event of Default under Section 7.01 or otherwise).
Notwithstanding anything to contrary, the provisions of this Section 2.11(a)(ii)
shall permit any transaction permitted by such section to be conducted on a
Class by Class basis and on a non-pro rata basis across Classes (but not within
a single Class), in each case, as selected by the Borrower.
(b)    In the event and on each occasion that the aggregate Revolving Exposures
exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay Revolving
Loan Borrowings or Swingline Loans (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding,
deposit Cash Collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 2.05(j)) in an aggregate amount necessary to eliminate such excess.
(c)    In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by
or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of
any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, within ten Business Days after such
Net Proceeds are received (or, in the case of a Prepayment Event described in
clause (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event,” on the date of such
Prepayment Event), prepay Term Loan Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to
the Disposition Percentage of the amount of such Net Proceeds; provided that, in
the case of any event described in clause (a) of the definition of the term
“Prepayment Event,” if the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries invest (or
commit to invest) the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof) within
450 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds in the business of the Borrower and
the other Subsidiaries (including any acquisitions or other Investment permitted
under Section 6.04), then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this
paragraph in respect of such Net Proceeds in respect of such event (or the
applicable portion of such Net Proceeds, if applicable) except to the extent of
any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so invested (or agreed or
committed to be invested) by the end of such 450 day period (or if agreed or
committed to be so invested within such 450 day period, have not been so
invested within 630 days after receipt thereof (or if agreed or committed to be
so invested within such 630 day period, have not been so invested within 810
days after receipt thereof)), at which time a prepayment shall be required in an
amount equal to such Net Proceeds that have not been so invested (or committed
to be invested); provided, further, the Borrower may use a portion of such Net
Proceeds to prepay or repurchase any other Indebtedness (and in the case of
revolving obligations to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect
thereto) to the extent such other Indebtedness and the Liens securing the same
are permitted hereunder and the documentation governing such other Indebtedness
requires such a prepayment or repurchase thereof with the proceeds of such
Prepayment Event, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (x) the
amount of such Net Proceeds and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
outstanding principal amount of such other Indebtedness and the denominator of
which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and such other
Indebtedness

82

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d)    Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder,
the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall
specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to
paragraph (f) of this Section. In the event of any mandatory prepayment of Term
Loan Borrowings made at a time when Term Loan Borrowings of more than one Class
remain outstanding, the Borrower shall select which Class (or Classes) of Term
Loan Borrowings are to be prepaid in their sole discretion; provided that the
aggregate amount of such prepayment is allocated pro rata among the Term Loan
Borrowings of each such Class; provided, further, that any Term Lender (and, to
the extent provided in the Refinancing Amendment or Loan Modification Offer for
any Class of Other Term Loans, any Lender that holds Other Term Loans of such
Class) may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed
by facsimile) at least one Business Day prior to the prepayment date, to decline
all or any portion of any prepayment of its Term Loans or Other Term Loans of
any such Class pursuant to this Section (other than an optional prepayment
pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section or a mandatory prepayment as a
result of the Prepayment Event set forth in clause (b) of the definition
thereof, which may not be declined), in which case the aggregate amount of the
prepayment that would have been applied to prepay Term Loans or Other Term Loans
of any such Class but was so declined shall be retained by the Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries (such amounts, “Retained Declined Proceeds”). Optional
prepayments of Term Loan Borrowings shall be allocated among the Classes of Term
Loan Borrowings as directed by the Borrower. In the absence of a designation by
the Borrower as described in the preceding provisions of this paragraph of the
Type of Borrowing of any Class, the Administrative Agent shall make such
designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to
minimizing breakage costs owing under Section 2.16.
(e)    The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of
prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by
facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a
Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three
Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of
an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business
Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and
shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or
portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a
reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that
a notice of optional prepayment may state that such notice is conditional upon
the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from
the issuance of other Indebtedness or the occurrence of some other identifiable
event or condition, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by
the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified
date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following
receipt of any such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline
Loans), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents
thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that
would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as
provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount
of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied
ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be
accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13. At the
Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section
2.11, such prepayment shall not be applied to any Term Loan or Revolving Loan of
a Defaulting Lender and shall be allocated ratably among the relevant
non-Defaulting Lenders.
(f)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of Section 2.11(c), (A) to the
extent that any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Prepayment Event set forth in
clause (a) of the definition thereof by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a
prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(c) (a “Foreign Prepayment Event”) are
prohibited or delayed by any Requirement of Law from being repatriated to the
Borrower, the portion of such Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to
be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(c) and such
amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only
so long, as the applicable Requirement of Law will not permit repatriation to
the Borrower (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign
Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable
Requirement of Law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of
any of such affected Net Proceeds is permitted under the applicable Requirement
of Law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net
Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than three Business Days
after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved
against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to
Section 2.11(c) and (B) to the extent that and for so long as the Borrower has
determined in good faith that repatriation of any or all of the Net Proceeds of
any Foreign

83

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Prepayment Event would have a material adverse tax consequence with respect to
such Net Proceeds, the Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be
applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(c) and such
amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that when
the Borrower determines in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net
Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event would no longer have a material adverse
tax consequence with respect to such Net Proceeds, such Net Proceeds shall be
promptly (and in any event not later than three Business Days after such
repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a
result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c);
provided that in the case of clause (A), on or before the date on which any such
Net Proceeds so retained would otherwise have been required as permitted to be
applied to reinvestments or prepayments pursuant to Section 2.11, the Borrower
may apply an amount equal to such Net Proceeds to such reinvestments or
prepayments, as applicable, as if such Net Proceeds had been received by the
Borrower rather than such Foreign Subsidiary, less the amount of additional
taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Proceeds had
been repatriated (or, if less, the Net Proceeds that would be calculated if
received by such Foreign Subsidiary).
SECTION 2.12    Fees.
(a)    The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in dollars for the
account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the
Applicable Revolving Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily unused amount of
the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the
Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the Revolving Commitments
terminate. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the third
Business Day following the last day of each of the Borrower’s fiscal quarters
and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the
first such date to occur after the Effective Date. All commitment fees shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual
number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For
purposes of computing commitment fees, a Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall
be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC
Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be
disregarded for such purpose).
(b)    The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
each Revolving Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) a participation fee
with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at
the Applicable Rate, in each case, used to determine the interest rate
applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans on the daily amount of such Revolving
Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed
LC Disbursements), during the period from and including the Effective Date to
but excluding the later of the date on which such Revolving Lender’s Revolving
Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have
any LC Exposure. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Bank,
for its own account, a fronting fee, in respect of each Letter of Credit issued
by such Issuing Bank to the Borrower for the period from the date of issuance of
such Letter of Credit through the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (or
if terminated on an earlier date to the termination date of such Letter of
Credit), computed at a rate equal to 0.125% per annum or such other percentage
per annum to be agreed upon between the Borrower and such Issuing Bank of the
daily outstanding amount of such Letter of Credit, as well as such Issuing
Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.
Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day
of each March, June, September and December shall be payable in accordance with
clause (c) below; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on
which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the
date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand
until the expiration or cancellation of all outstanding Letters of Credit. All
participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of
360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed.
(c)    All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately
available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to an Issuing Bank, in the case
of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and
participation fees, to the Revolving Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid
hereunder shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

84

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d)    The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own
account, an agency fee payable in the amount and at the times separately agreed
upon between Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to Section 2.22, the Borrower
shall not be obligated to pay any amounts to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to
this Section 2.12; provided that such amounts shall be payable to any
non-Defaulting Lender that assumes the obligations of a Defaulting Lender
pursuant to Section 2.22(a)(iv).
(f)    The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agents, without duplication, such fees
as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing, as set forth in the Fee
Letters in the amounts and at the times so specified therein.
SECTION 2.13    Interest.
(a)    The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan)
shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b)    The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at
the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus
the Applicable Rate.
(c)    (i) During the continuance of an Event of Default under clauses (a) or
(b) of Section 7.01, the Borrower shall pay interest on past due amounts owing
by it hereunder, at a rate per annum equal to (A) in the case of overdue
principal of any Loan, 2.00% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to
such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (B) in the
case of any other amount, 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR
Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section and (ii) prior to
the occurrence of the Term B-1 Loan Termination Date, during the continuance of
an Event of Default under clauses (d), (e), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01, the
Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each
Term B-1 Lender interest at a rate equal to (A) in the case of overdue principal
of any Loan, 2.00% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Term B-1
Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (B) in the case
of any other amount, 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving
Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that no amount
shall be payable pursuant to this Section 2.13(c) to a Defaulting Lender so long
as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that no amounts
shall accrue pursuant to this Section 2.13(c) on any overdue amount,
reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Disbursement or other amount
payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting
Lender; provided, further, that such amounts shall be payable to any
non-Defaulting Lender that assumes the obligations of a Defaulting Lender
pursuant to Section 2.22(a)(iv).
(d)    Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon
termination of the Revolving Commitments, provided that (i) interest accrued
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in
the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of
an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period),
accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on
the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any
conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest
Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective
date of such conversion.
(e)    All computations of interest for ABR Loans (including ABR Loans
determined by reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate) shall be made on the basis of
a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All
other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day
year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as
applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).
Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and
shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the
Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same
day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.18, bear interest for one
day. Each determination by the

85

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive
and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.14    Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) If prior to the commencement of
any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:
(i)    the Administrative Agent 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 because the LIBO Rate is not available or published on a current
basis) for such Interest Period; or
(ii)    the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the
Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included
in such Borrowing for such Interest Period,
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the
Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and,
until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective
and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing then such
Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and the utilization of the LIBO Rate
component in determining the Alternate Base Rate shall be suspended; provided,
however, that, in each case, the Borrower may revoke any Borrowing Request that
is pending when such notice is received.
(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) of this Section 2.14 have arisen and such circumstances are
unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) of
this Section 2.14 have not arisen but either (w) the supervisor for the
administrator of the LIBO Rate has made a public statement that the
administrator of the LIBO Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor
administrator that will continue publication of the LIBO Rate), (x) the
administrator of the LIBO Rate has made a public statement identifying a
specific date after which the LIBO Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease
to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator that will
continue publication of the LIBO Rate), (y) the supervisor for the administrator
of the LIBO Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after
which the LIBO Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or
(z) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Rate or a Governmental
Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public
statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO 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; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so
determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the
purposes of this Agreement. 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 Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.
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)(w),
clause (ii)(x) or clause (ii)(y) of the first sentence of this Section 2.14(b),
only to the extent the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period is not available or
published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Interest Election Request
that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of
any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective and
(y) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

86

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 2.15    Increased Costs.
(a)    If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any
Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO
Rate); or
(ii)    impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market
any other condition, cost or expense (other than with respect to Taxes)
affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter
of Credit or participation therein; or
(iii)    subject any Lender to any Taxes on its Loans, letters of credit,
Commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities
or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the actual cost to
such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining
its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the actual cost to such
Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of
Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or issue any Letter
of Credit) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such
Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise),
then, from time to time upon request of such Lender or Issuing Bank, the
Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, for such increased costs actually incurred or reduction
actually suffered, provided that to the extent any such costs or reductions are
incurred by any Lender as a result of any requests, rules, guidelines or
directives enacted or promulgated under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and Basel III after the Effective Date, then
such Lender shall be compensated pursuant to this Section 2.15(a) only to the
extent such Lender is imposing such charges on similarly situated borrowers
under the other syndicated credit facilities that such Lender is a lender under.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph (a) will not apply to (A)
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes or (B) Excluded Taxes.
(b)    If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding
capital or liquidity requirements has the effect of reducing the rate of return
on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or
Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or
the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans
held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a
level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing
Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking
into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of
such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy
and liquidity requirements), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender
or Issuing Bank, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or
Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such
reduction actually suffered.
(c)    A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or
amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding
company in reasonable detail, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a)
or (b) of this Section delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 Business Days
after receipt thereof.
(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such
Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant
to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more
than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or

87

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim
compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise
to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof.
SECTION 2.16    Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the optional payment
of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of
Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert,
continue or optionally prepay any Revolving Loan or Term Loan on the date
specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such
notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(e) and is revoked in accordance
therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last
day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the
Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 or Section 9.02(d), then, in any such event,
the Borrower shall, after receipt of a written request by any Lender affected by
any such event (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for
requesting such amount), compensate each Lender for the actual loss, cost and
expense attributable to such event. For purposes of calculating amounts payable
by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 2.16, each Lender shall be
deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Loan made by it at the Adjusted LIBO
Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing for a comparable
amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Loan was in
fact so funded. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts
that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section delivered
within ten Business Days of such event to the Borrower shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as
due on any such certificate within 15 Business Days after receipt of such
demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section will not apply to losses,
costs or expenses resulting from Taxes, as to which Section 2.17 shall govern.
SECTION 2.17    Taxes.
(a)    Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party
under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction
for any Taxes, provided that if the applicable Withholding Agent shall be
required by applicable Requirements of Law to deduct any Taxes from such
payments, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions,
(ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted
to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
Requirements of Law and (iii) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or
Other Tax, the amount payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as
necessary so that after all required deductions have been made (including
deductions applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.17) the
Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.
(b)    Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrower
shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with Requirements of Law.
(c)    The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender,
within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case
may be, and any Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed
or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) and
any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or
not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in
reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent
on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.
(d)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17,
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.

88

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(e)    Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at
the time or times prescribed by law and reasonably requested by the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and such other documentation
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (i) as will
permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding or
(ii) as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine
whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting
requirements. Each Lender shall, whenever a lapse or time or change in
circumstances renders such documentation obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any
material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly
notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its inability to
do so.
Without limiting the foregoing:
(1)    Each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this
Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent) two properly completed and duly signed original copies
of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from
U.S. federal backup withholding.
(2)    Each Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code 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 upon the request of the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:
(A)    two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) claiming
eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States
is a party,
(B)    two properly completed and duly signed 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 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) two
properly completed and duly signed certificates substantially in the form of
Exhibit P-1, P-2, P-3 and P-4, as applicable, (any such certificate, a “U.S. Tax
Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two properly completed and duly signed original
copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor
forms),
(D)    to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where
the Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), two properly completed
and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any
successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E,
U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required
information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be
required under this Section 2.17(e) if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as
applicable (provided that, if the Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal
income tax purposes (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or
indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the U.S. Tax
Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Lender on behalf of such direct
or indirect partner(s)), or
(E)    two properly completed and duly signed original copies of any other form
prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws as a basis for claiming a
complete exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax on any
payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents, together with such
supplementary documentation as may be

89

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(3)    If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to
U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to
comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those
contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law
(including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such
additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA , to determine whether such
Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and,
if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.
Solely for purposes of this clause (3), “FATCA” shall include any amendments
made to FATCA after the Effective Date.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this clause (e), a Lender shall not be
required to deliver any form or other documentation that such Lender is not
legally eligible to deliver.
(f)    If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists
for contesting any Taxes for which indemnification has been demanded hereunder,
the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender, as applicable, shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower in a reasonable
challenge of such Taxes if so requested by the Borrower; provided that (a) the
Administrative Agent or such Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that
it would not be subject to any unreimbursed third party cost or expense or
otherwise be prejudiced by cooperating in such challenge, (b) the Borrower pays
all related expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable
and (c) the Borrower indemnifies the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as
applicable, for any liabilities or other costs incurred by such party in
connection with such challenge. The Administrative Agent or a Lender shall claim
any refund that it determines is reasonably available to it, unless it concludes
in its reasonable discretion that it would be adversely affected by making such
a claim. If the Administrative Agent or a Lender receives a refund of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the
Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower
(but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid,
by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses
(including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender 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
the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees promptly 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. The Administrative Agent or such
Lender, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the
Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the
requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority
(provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may delete any
information therein that the Administrative Agent or such Lender deems
confidential). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.17(f)
shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make
available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to Taxes which it
deems confidential to any Loan Party or any other Person).
(g)    The agreements in this Section 2.17 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(h)    For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” shall include any
Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender.
(i)    In addition, if applicable, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the
Borrower (x)(I) in the case of the Administrative Agent, prior to the date on
which the first payment by the Borrower is due hereunder or (II) in

90

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the case of any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to Article
VIII that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code, prior to the first date on or after the date on which
the Administrative Agent becomes a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to
Article VIII on which payment by the Borrower is due hereunder, as applicable,
two copies of a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8IMY certifying that
the Administrative Agent is a U.S. branch and intends to be treated as a U.S.
person for purposes of withholding under Chapter 3 of the Code pursuant to
Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) or Section 1.441-1T(b)(2)(iv), as applicable, of the
United States Treasury Regulations, and (y) on or before the date on which any
such previously delivered documentation expires or becomes obsolete or invalid,
after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent
documentation previously delivered by it to the Borrower, and from time to time
if reasonably requested by the Borrower, two further copies of such
documentation.
SECTION 2.18    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.
(a)    The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it under any
Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees, or reimbursement of LC
Disbursement or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or
otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other
Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior
to 2:00 p.m., New York City time), 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 such account as
may be specified by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made
directly to any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender shall be made as expressly
provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17
and 9.03 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 received by it for
the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following
receipt thereof. If any payment (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans)
under any Loan Document 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. If any
payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a
Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment
into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the
immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any payment of principal
pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at
the then applicable rate for the period of such extension. All payments or
prepayments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars.
(b)    If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the
Administrative Agent to pay fully all applicable amounts of principal,
unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds
shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of applicable interest and fees then
due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the
applicable amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii)
second, towards payment of applicable principal and unreimbursed LC
Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then
due to such parties.
(c)    If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of
its Loans of a given Class or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline
Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the
aggregate amount of its Loans of such Class or participations in LC
Disbursements or Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the
proportion received by any other Lender with outstanding Loans of the same Class
or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans, then the Lender
receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the Loans of such Class or participations in LC Disbursements
of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such
payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate
amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of such
Class or participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such
participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise
thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase
price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and (ii) the
provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any

91

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express
terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from
existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant
(including a Purchasing Borrower Party) or (C) any disproportionate payment
obtained by a Lender of any Class as a result of the extension by Lenders of the
maturity date or expiration date of some but not all Loans or Commitments of
that Class or any increase in the Applicable Rate in respect of Loans of Lenders
that have consented to any such extension. The Borrower consents to the
foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable
law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim
with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct
creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. Except to the
extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Borrowing of a particular Class shall
be made from the relevant Lenders, each payment of commitment fee under Section
2.12 shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders, and each termination or
reduction of the amount of the Commitments of a particular Class under Section
2.08 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of such Class of the
relevant Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective
Commitments of such Class; (ii) each Borrowing of any Class shall be allocated
pro rata among the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their respective
Commitments of such Class (in the case of the making of Loans) or their
respective Loans of such Class (in the case of conversions and continuations of
Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Loans, Term
Loans, Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Term Loans by the Borrower
shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with
the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them;
and (iv) each payment of interest on Revolving Loans, Term Loans, Incremental
Revolving Loans and Incremental Term Loans by the Borrower shall be made for
account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of
interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders. Except to
the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Borrowing of a particular Class
shall be made from the relevant Lenders, each payment of commitment fee under
Section 2.12 shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders, and each
termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments of a particular Class
under Section 2.08 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of such Class
of the relevant Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective
Commitments of such Class; (ii) each Borrowing of any Class shall be allocated
pro rata among the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their respective
Commitments of such Class (in the case of the making of Loans) or their
respective Loans of such Class (in the case of conversions and continuations of
Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Loans, Term
Loans, Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Term Loans by the Borrower
shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with
the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them;
and (iv) each payment of interest on Revolving Loans, Term Loans, Incremental
Revolving Loans and Incremental Term Loans by the Borrower shall be made for
account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of
interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders.
(d)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks 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 and in its sole discretion, distribute to the
Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event,
if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or
the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including
the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment
to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate
and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation.
(e)    If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it
pursuant to Section 2.04(c), Section 2.05(e), Section 2.05(f), Section 2.06(a),
Section 2.06(b), Section 2.06(c), Section 2.18(d) or Section 9.03(c), then the
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and in the order determined by the
Administrative Agent (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply
any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of
such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Section until all

92

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in
a segregated account as Cash Collateral for, and to be applied to, any future
funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section.
SECTION 2.19    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, 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 2.17 or
any event that gives rise to the operation of Section 2.23, then such Lender
shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding
or booking its Loans hereunder or its participation in any Letter of Credit
affected by such event, or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment
of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation (i) would
eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 or
mitigate the applicability of Section 2.23, as the case may be, and (ii) would
not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense reasonably deemed by
such Lender to be material and would not be inconsistent with the internal
policies of, or otherwise be disadvantageous in any material economic, legal or
regulatory respect to, such Lender.
(b)    If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or gives
notice under Section 2.23, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional
amount to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any
Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to
such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and
delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume
such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender or an Affiliated Lender,
if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation), provided that (A) the
Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent to the extent such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an
assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable (and if a Revolving Commitment
is being assigned and delegated, each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender),
which consents, in each case, shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (B)
such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the then market
value of the outstanding principal of its Loans and unreimbursed participations
in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued but unpaid interest thereon,
accrued but unpaid 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), (C) the Borrower or
such assignee shall have paid (unless waived) to the Administrative Agent the
processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b)(ii) and (D) in the
case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 2.15, payment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17 or a notice
given under Section 2.23, such assignment will result in a material reduction in
such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such
assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such
Lender or otherwise (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender
under paragraph (a) above), the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require
such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an
assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an
Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and
the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a
party thereto.
SECTION 2.20    Incremental Credit Extension.
(a)    The Borrower may at any time and from time to time after the Effective
Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, by notice to the
Administrative Agent request (i) one or more additional Classes of term loans or
additional term loans of the same Class of any existing Class of term loans (the
“Incremental Term Loans”), (ii) one or more increases in the amount of the
Revolving Commitments of any Class (each such increase, an “Incremental
Revolving Commitment Increase”) or (iii) one or more additional Classes of
Revolving Commitments (the “Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments,” and,
together with the Incremental Term Loans and the Incremental Revolving
Commitment Increases, the “Incremental Facilities”); provided that, subject to
Section 1.06, after giving effect to the effectiveness of any Incremental
Facility Amendment referred to below and at the time that any such Incremental
Term Loan, Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase or Additional/Replacement
Revolving Commitment is made or effected, no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be

93

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

continuing or would result therefrom (except, in the case of the incurrence or
provision of any Incremental Facility in connection with a Permitted Acquisition
or other Investment permitted or not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement
or irrevocable repayment, repurchase or redemption of any Indebtedness, which
shall be subject to no Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of
Section 7.01 having occurred and being continuing). Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental
Facilities (including, without duplication, the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of any Incremental Equivalent Debt issued in lieu of Incremental Term
Loans) shall not at the time of incurrence of any such Incremental Facilities
(and after giving effect to such incurrence) exceed the Incremental Cap at such
time (calculated in a manner consistent with the definition of “Incremental
Cap”).
(b)    Each Incremental Term Loan shall comply with the following clauses (A)
through (F): (A) except with respect to the Incremental Maturity Carveout
Amount, the maturity date of any Incremental Term Loans shall not be earlier
than the Term B-2 Loan Maturity Date and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity
of the Incremental Term Loans shall not be shorter than the remaining Weighted
Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans, (B) the pricing (including any “MFN”
or other pricing terms), interest rate margins, rate floors, fees, premiums
(including prepayment premiums), funding discounts and, subject to clause (A),
the maturity and amortization schedule for any Incremental Term Loans shall be
determined by the Borrower and the applicable Additional Lenders, (C)(i) the
Incremental Term Loans shall be secured solely by the Collateral on an equal and
ratable basis (or a junior basis, subject to a Second Lien Intercreditor
Agreement) with the Secured Obligations and (ii) no Incremental Term Loans shall
be guaranteed by entities other than the Guarantors and (D) any Incremental Term
Loan that has terms and conditions consistent with the Term Loans in the
reasonable determination of the Borrower shall be on terms and pursuant to
documentation to be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Additional
Lenders; provided, that to the extent such terms and documentation are not
consistent with the Term Loans (except to the extent permitted by clause (A) or
(B) above), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
(it being understood that, to the extent that any financial maintenance covenant
is added for the benefit of any Incremental Term Loan, no consent shall be
required from the Administrative Agent or any of the Term Lenders to the extent
that such financial maintenance covenant is (1) also added for the benefit of
any existing Loans or (2) only applicable after the Latest Maturity Date).
(c)    The Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase shall be treated the same
as the Class of Revolving Commitments being increased (including with respect to
maturity date thereof) and shall be considered to be part of the Class of
Revolving Credit Facility being increased (it being understood that, if required
to consummate an Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase, the pricing,
interest rate margins, rate floors and undrawn commitment fees on the Class of
Revolving Commitments being increased may be increased and additional upfront or
similar fees may be payable to the lenders providing the Incremental Revolving
Commitment Increase (without any requirement to pay such fees to any existing
Revolving Lenders)).
(d)    The Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments (i) shall rank equal in
right of payment with the Revolving Loans, shall be secured only by the
Collateral securing the Secured Obligations and shall only be guaranteed by only
the Loan Parties, (ii) shall not mature, require scheduled amortization payments
or require mandatory reduction of the such Additional/Replacement Revolving
Commitments, in each case, earlier than the Revolving Maturity Date, (iii)
subject to clause (v) below, shall have interest rates (including through fixed
interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, undrawn commitment
fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts, prepayment terms and premiums
and commitment reduction and termination terms as determined by the Borrower and
the lenders of such commitments, (iv) shall contain borrowing, repayment and
termination of Commitment procedures as determined by the Borrower and the
lenders of such commitments and (v) may otherwise have terms and conditions
different from those of the Revolving Credit Facility; provided that (x) except
with respect to matters contemplated by clauses (i), (ii) (iii) and (iv) above,
any differences shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
(except for covenants and other provisions applicable only to the periods after
the Latest Maturity Date) and (y) the documentation governing any
Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments may include a financial maintenance
covenant so long as the Administrative Agent shall have been given prompt
written notice thereof and this Agreement is amended to include such financial
maintenance covenant for the benefit of each facility (provided, further,
however, that, (x) if the applicable new financial maintenance covenant is a
“springing” financial maintenance covenant for the benefit of such revolving
credit facility or covenant

94

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

only applicable to, or for the benefit of, a revolving credit facility, such
financial maintenance covenant shall be automatically included in this Agreement
only for the benefit of each revolving credit facility hereunder (and not for
the benefit of any term loan facility hereunder)) and (y) to the extent that any
financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of any
Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments and is only applicable after the
Latest Maturity Date, no such financial maintenance covenant shall be required
to be added to this Agreement.
(e)    Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall set
forth the requested amount of the relevant Incremental Term Loans, Incremental
Revolving Commitment Increases or Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments.
(f)    Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving
Commitment Increases and Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments shall
become Commitments (or in the case of an Incremental Revolving Commitment
Increase to be provided by an existing Lender with a Revolving Commitment, an
increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Commitment) under this Agreement
pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement
and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each
Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment (provided that no Lender shall be
obligated to provide any loans or commitments under any Incremental Facility
unless it so agrees), if any, each Additional Lender, if any, the Administrative
Agent and, in the case of Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases, each
Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender. Incremental Term Loans and loans under
Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and Additional/Replacement Revolving
Commitments shall be a “Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents. The Incremental Facility Amendment may without the consent of
any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as may be necessary, appropriate or advisable (including changing the
amortization schedule of existing Term Loans in a manner required to make the
Incremental Term Loans fungible with such Term Loans), in the reasonable opinion
of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this
Section 2.20 (including, in connection with an Incremental Revolving Commitment
Increase, to reallocate Revolving Exposure on a pro rata basis among the
relevant Revolving Lenders). The Borrower may use the proceeds of the
Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and
Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments for any purpose permitted or not
prohibited by this Agreement.
(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.20 shall
supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 9.02 to the contrary.
(h)    The Borrower may elect to have used amounts under clause (b) of the
definition of “Incremental Cap”, if any prior to utilization of clause (a) of
the definition of “Incremental Cap” and the Borrower may elect to have used
amounts under clause (c) of the definition of “Incremental Cap” prior to
utilization of clause (a) or (b) of the definition of “Incremental Cap”.
SECTION 2.21    Refinancing Amendments.
(a)    At any time after the Effective Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any
Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in
respect of (a) all or any portion of any Class of Term Loans then outstanding
under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (a) will be deemed to
include any then outstanding Other Term Loans) or (b) all or any portion of the
Revolving Loans (or unused Revolving Commitments) under this Agreement (which
for purposes of this clause (b) will be deemed to include any then outstanding
Other Revolving Loans and Other Revolving Commitments), in the form of (x) Other
Term Loans or Other Term Commitments or (y) Other Revolving Loans or Other
Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, in each case pursuant to a
Refinancing Amendment; provided that the Net Proceeds of such Credit Agreement
Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied, substantially concurrently with the
incurrence thereof, to the prepayment of outstanding Term Loans or reduction of
Revolving Commitments being so refinanced, as the case may be; provided further
that the terms and conditions applicable to such Credit Agreement Refinancing
Indebtedness may provide for any additional or different financial or other
covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the Borrower and the
Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the Latest Maturity
Date that is in effect on the date such Credit Agreement Refinancing
Indebtedness is issued, incurred or obtained. Each Class of Credit

95

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.21 shall be in
an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $10,000,000 in the case
of Other Term Loans or $10,000,000 in the case of Other Revolving Loans and (y)
an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (in each case unless the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree). Any Refinancing
Amendment may provide for the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of
the Borrower, or the provision to the Borrower of Swingline Loans, pursuant to
any Other Revolving Commitments established thereby, in each case on terms
substantially equivalent to the terms applicable to Letters of Credit and
Swingline Loans under the Revolving Commitments and reasonably satisfactory to
the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each applicable Lender as to the effectiveness of each
Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the
effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed
amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the
existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred
pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and
Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans, Other Revolving Loans, Other
Revolving Commitments and/or Other Term Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment
may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in
the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect
the provisions of this Section. In addition, if so provided in the relevant
Refinancing Amendment and with the consent of each Issuing Bank, participations
in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the Revolving Maturity Date shall be
reallocated from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments to Lenders holding
extended revolving commitments in accordance with the terms of such Refinancing
Amendment; provided, however, that such participation interests shall, upon
receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Revolving Commitments, be deemed
to be participation interests in respect of such Revolving Commitments and the
terms of such participation interests (including, without limitation, the
commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.21 shall
supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 9.02 to the contrary.
SECTION 2.22    Defaulting Lenders.
(a)    General. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement (except as set forth in Section 9.17), if any Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a
Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(i)    Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall
be restricted as set forth in Section 9.02.
(ii)    Reallocation of Payments. Subject to the last sentence of Section
2.11(e), any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by
the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether
voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise, and
including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.08), shall be applied at such time or
times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the
payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative
Agent hereunder; second, in the case of a Revolving Lender, to the payment on a
pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to each Issuing
Bank and the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, as the Borrower may request (so
long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in
respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof
as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent;
fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against
that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its
obligations under this Agreement; fifth, in the case of a Revolving Lender, if
so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a
non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy
obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth,
to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the
Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by

96

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against that Defaulting
Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under
this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to
the payment of any amounts owing to any Loan Party as a result of any judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Loan Party against that
Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its
obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as
otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(iii)    Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to
receive or accrue any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.12(a) for any period
during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be
required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have
been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to
receive Letter of Credit fees as provided in Section 2.12(b).
(iv)    Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.
During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of
computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire,
refinance or fund participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit
pursuant to Section 2.04 and Section 2.05, the “Applicable Percentage” of each
non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving
Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that the aggregate obligation of
each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in
Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference,
if any, of (1) the Revolving Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2)
the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans of that non-Defaulting
Lender.
(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank agree in writing in their sole discretion
that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender,
the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the
effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth
therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of
outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the
Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded
and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held
on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable
Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv)), whereupon that
Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will
be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on
behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided,
further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected
parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a
waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s
having been a Defaulting Lender.
SECTION 2.23    Illegality. If any Lender determines that any law has made it
unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful,
for any Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by
reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates
based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the
Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make
or continue Eurocurrency Loans or to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans
shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer
exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon three Business
Days’ notice from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), in the
case of Eurocurrency Loans, prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurocurrency
Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans either on the last day of the Interest Period
therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency
Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to
maintain such Eurocurrency Loans, and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality
of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Adjusted
LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, during the period of such suspension,
compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to
the Adjusted LIBO Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is
advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender
to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate. Each
Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing
promptly upon becoming aware that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to
determine

97

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate. Upon any such
prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the
amount so prepaid or converted.
SECTION 2.24    Loan Modification Offers.
(a)    At any time after the Effective Date, the Borrower may on one or more
occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, make one or more
offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more
Classes (each Class subject to such a Loan Modification Offer, an “Affected
Class”) to effect one or more Permitted Amendments relating to such Affected
Class pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent
and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (including mechanics to permit
conversions, cashless rollovers and exchanges by Lenders and other repayments
and reborrowings of Loans of Accepting Lenders or Non-Accepting Lenders replaced
in accordance with this Section 2.24). Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms
and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which
such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective. Permitted Amendments
shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the
Lenders of the Affected Class that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer
(such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting
Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and Commitments of such
Affected Class as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made.
(b)    A Permitted Amendment shall be effected pursuant to a Loan Modification
Agreement executed and delivered by Parent, the Borrower, each applicable
Accepting Lender and the Administrative Agent; provided that no Permitted
Amendment shall become effective unless Parent and the Borrower shall have
delivered to the Administrative Agent such legal opinions, board resolutions,
secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other documents as shall be
reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness
of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each Loan Modification Agreement may,
without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Accepting Lenders,
effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be
necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give
effect to the provisions of this Section 2.24, including any amendments
necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting
Lenders as a new “Class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder.
(c)    If, in connection with any proposed Loan Modification Offer, any Lender
declines to consent to such Loan Modification Offer on the terms and by the
deadline set forth in such Loan Modification Offer (each such Lender, a
“Non-Accepting Lender”) then the Borrower may, on notice to the Administrative
Agent and the Non-Accepting Lender, replace such Non-Accepting Lender in whole
or in part by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to)
assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in Section 9.04) all or any part of its interests, rights
and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Loans and Commitments of
the Affected Class to one or more Eligible Assignees (which Eligible Assignee
may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that
neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the
Borrower to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that (a) the
applicable assignee shall have agreed to provide Loans and/or Commitments on the
terms set forth in the applicable Permitted Amendment, (b) such Non-Accepting
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of the Loans of the Affected Class assigned by it pursuant to this
Section 2.24(c), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts
payable to it hereunder from the Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such
outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) and (c) unless waived, the
Borrower or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent
the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b).
(d)    No rollover, conversion or exchange (or other repayment or termination)
of Loans or Commitments pursuant to any Loan Modification Agreement in
accordance with this Section 2.24 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory
payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.24 shall
supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 9.02 to the contrary.

satisfied solely by Parent’s filing of its financial statements with the U.S.

operations and statements of cash flows of the Borrower and the Guarantors,
presented in accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC
(as in effect from time to time) as of the end of and for such fiscal quarter
and the then elapsed portion of the fiscal year, setting forth in each case in
comparative form the figures for the corresponding period or periods of (or, in
the case of the balance sheet, as of the end of) the previous fiscal year, all
certified by a Financial Officer as presenting fairly in all material respects
the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower
and the Subsidiaries (excluding non-Guarantor Subsidiaries), or Parent and its
Subsidiaries, as the case may be, as of the end of and for such fiscal quarter
(except in the case of cash flows) and such portion of the fiscal year on a
consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, subject to
normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes; provided,
however, that in the event the financial statements of Parent are no longer
required by Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X to include the consolidated balance
sheets, statements of

105

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

operations and statements of cash flows of the Borrower and the Guarantors, then
so long as a Guarantee Release Date has not occurred (or, if a Guarantee Release
Date has occurred, so long as the obligations of Parent under the Guarantee
Agreement have been reinstated pursuant to Section 9.14 and are in effect), the
Borrower's and Parent’s obligations under this Section 5.01(b) shall be deemed
satisfied solely by Parent’s filing of its financial statements with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission in compliance with the requirements of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder as in effect
from time to time;
(c)    [reserved];
(d)    not later than five Business Days after any delivery of financial

following fiscal year setting forth anticipated income, expense and capital
expenditure items for each quarter during such fiscal year in form substantially
similar to forecasts historically provided by Parent or other Affiliates of the
Borrower (in the good faith judgment of the Borrower); provided that if the
Ratings Condition is satisfied at such time, the Borrower shall only be required
to deliver a consolidated statement of operations pursuant to this Section
5.01(e);
(f)    promptly after the same become publicly available, copies of all periodic
and other reports, proxy statements and registration statements (other than
amendments to any registration statement (to the extent such registration
statement, in the form it became effective, is delivered to the Administrative
Agent), exhibits to any registration statement and, if applicable, any
registration statement on Form S-8) filed by Parent, the Borrower or any
Subsidiary with the SEC or with any national securities exchange;
(g)    promptly upon the same become publicly available, copies of any and all
periodic or special reports filed by Parent, the Borrower or any of the
Borrower’s Subsidiaries with the FCC or with any other Federal, state or local
Governmental Authority, if such reports indicate any material adverse change in
the business, operations, affairs or condition of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or if copies thereof are requested by any Lender or the
Administrative Agent, and copies of any and all material notices and other
material communications from the FCC or from any other Federal, state or local
Governmental Authority with respect to the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or
any Station;
(h)    promptly following any request therefor, (i) such other information

behalf or on behalf of any Lender may reasonably request in writing and (ii)

and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act and
the Beneficial Ownership Regulation; and
(i)    during each fiscal quarter, the Borrower will participate in a conference
call with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, during which the financial
condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be discussed; provided that
this obligation may be satisfied by a Parent Entity of the Borrower holding a
public investor call during any such fiscal quarter.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
Section 5.01 may be satisfied with respect to financial information of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries by furnishing (A) the Form 10-K or 10-Q (or the
equivalent), as applicable, of the Borrower (or a Parent Entity thereof) filed
with the SEC or with a similar regulatory authority in a foreign jurisdiction or
(B) the applicable financial statements of the Borrower (or any Parent Entity);
provided that to the extent such information relates to a Parent Entity that
exceeds the lesser of (i) 1.0% of the Consolidated Total Assets of such Parent
Entity and its Restricted Subsidiaries and (ii) 1.0% of the total revenue for
the preceding year of such Parent Entity and its Restricted Subsidiaries, then
such information

106

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

relating to such Parent Entity shall be accompanied by consolidating
information, which may be unaudited, that explains in reasonable detail the
differences between the information relating to such parent, on the one hand,
and the information relating to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a
stand-alone basis, on the other hand, and to the extent such information is in
lieu of information required to be provided under Section 5.01(a), such
materials are accompanied by a report and opinion of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
or any other independent registered public accounting firm of nationally
recognized standing, which report and opinion shall be prepared in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards and shall not be subject to any
“going concern” or like qualification or exception or any qualification or
exception as to the scope of such audit (other than any exception or explanatory
paragraph, but not a qualification, that is expressly solely with respect to, or
expressly resulting solely from, (i) an upcoming maturity date of any
Indebtedness occurring within one year from the time such opinion is delivered
or (ii) any potential inability to satisfy a financial maintenance covenant on a
future date or in a future period); provided, further, that clauses (a) and (b)
of this Section 5.01 shall in any event be deemed satisfied so long as the
financial statements of Parent filed with the SEC for the corresponding period
comply in all material respect with Regulation S-X, as in effect from time to
time.
Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a), (b), (f) or (g)
(to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with
the SEC) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to
have been delivered on the earlier of the date (A) on which the Borrower posts
such documents, or provides a link thereto, on the Borrower’s website on the
Internet or (B) on which such documents are posted on the Borrower’s behalf on
IntraLinks/IntraAgency or another website, if any, to which each Lender and the
Administrative Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or
whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent); provided that: (i) the Borrower
shall deliver such documents to the Administrative Agent upon its reasonable
request until a written notice to cease delivering such documents is given by
the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Borrower shall notify the Administrative
Agent (by telecopier or electronic mail) of the posting of any such documents
and upon its reasonable request, provide to the Administrative Agent by
electronic mail electronic versions (i.e., soft copies) of such documents. The
Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery of or
maintain paper copies of the documents referred to above, and each Lender shall
be solely responsible for timely accessing posted documents and maintaining its
copies of such documents.
The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent and/or the
Joint Bookrunners will make available to the Lenders materials and/or
information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively,
“Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another
similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders (each,
a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material
non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its Affiliates, or the
respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in
investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’
securities. The Borrower hereby agrees that it will, upon the Administrative
Agent’s reasonable request, identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that
may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (i) all such Borrower
Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a
minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first
page thereof; (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be
deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Joint Bookrunners and
the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material
non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with
respect to the Borrower or their respective securities for purposes of United
States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent
such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set
forth in Section 9.12); (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are
permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated
“Public Side Information”; and (iv) the Administrative Agent and the Joint
Bookrunners shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not
marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform
not designated “Public Side Information.” Other than as set forth in the
immediately preceding sentence, the Borrower shall be under no obligation to
mark the Borrower Materials “PUBLIC.”

107

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 5.02    Notices of Material Events. Promptly after any Responsible
Officer of Parent or the Borrower obtains actual knowledge thereof, Parent or
the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to each
Lender through the Administrative Agent) written notice of the following:
(a)    the occurrence of any Default; and
(b)    the filing or commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by or before
any arbitrator or Governmental Authority against or, to the knowledge of a
Financial Officer or another executive officer of Parent, the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries, affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the
receipt of a written notice of an Environmental Liability or the occurrence of
an ERISA Event, in each case, that could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect; and
(c)    any change in the information provided in the Beneficial Ownership
Certification delivered to the Administrative Agent that would result in a
change to the list of beneficial owners identified in such certification.
Each notice delivered under this Section shall be accompanied by a written
statement of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower setting forth the details of
the event or development requiring such notice and any action taken or proposed
to be taken with respect thereto.
SECTION 5.03    Information Regarding Collateral.
(a)    Parent or the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent promptly
(and in any event within 60 days or such longer period as reasonably agreed to
by the Collateral Agent) written notice of any change (i) in any Loan Party’s
legal name (as set forth in its certificate of organization or like document) or
(ii) in the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of any Loan Party or
in the form of its organization.
(b)    Not later than five Business Days after delivery of financial statements
pursuant to Section 5.01(a), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (i)
setting forth the information required pursuant to Schedules I through IV of the
Collateral Agreement or confirming that there has been no change in such
information since the Effective Date or the date of the most recent certificate
delivered pursuant to this Section, (ii) identifying any wholly-owned Subsidiary
that has become, or ceased to be, a Material Subsidiary during the most recently
ended fiscal quarter (unless such Subsidiary was and remains a Loan Party) and
(iii) certifying that all notices required to be given prior to the date of such
certificate by this Section 5.03 and Section 5.12 have been given.

108

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 5.04    Existence; Conduct of Business. Each of Parent and the Borrower
will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, do or cause to be done all
things necessary to obtain, preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect
its legal existence and the rights, licenses, permits, privileges, and
franchises, and Intellectual Property material to the conduct of its business,
in each case (other than the preservation of the existence of Parent and the
Borrower) to the extent that the failure to do so could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect, provided that the foregoing shall not
prohibit any merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution permitted under
Section 6.03 or any Disposition permitted by Section 6.05.
SECTION 5.05    Payment of Taxes, Etc. Each of Parent and the Borrower will, and
will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, pay its obligations in respect of
Taxes before the same shall become delinquent or in default, unless the same are
being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted
with adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP being maintained, except where
the failure to make payment could not reasonably be expected, individually or in
the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 5.06    Maintenance of Properties. Each of Parent and the Borrower will,
and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, keep and maintain all property
material to the conduct of its business in good working order and condition,
ordinary wear and tear excepted, except where the failure to do so could not
reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse Effect.
SECTION 5.07    Insurance. Each of Parent and the Borrower (a) will, and will
cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, maintain, with insurance companies that
Parent and the Borrower believe (in the good faith judgment of the management of
Parent and the Borrower) are financially sound and responsible at the time the
relevant coverage is placed or renewed, insurance in at least such amounts
(after giving effect to any self-insurance which Parent and the Borrower believe
(in the good faith judgment of management of Parent and the Borrower) is
reasonable and prudent in light of the size and nature of its business) and
against at least such risks (and with such risk retentions) as Parent and the
Borrower believe (in the good faith judgment of the management of Parent and the
Borrower) are reasonable and prudent in light of the size and nature of its
business; and (b) and will furnish to the Lenders, upon written request from the
Administrative Agent, information presented in reasonable detail as to the
insurance so carried. Each such policy of insurance maintained by a Loan Party
shall (i) name the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as an
additional insured thereunder as its interests may appear and (ii) in the case
of each casualty insurance policy, contain a loss payable clause or endorsement
that names Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties as the loss payee
thereunder.
SECTION 5.08    Books and Records; Inspection and Audit Rights. Each of Parent
and the Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, maintain
proper books of record and account in which entries that are full, true and
correct in all material respects and are in conformity with GAAP (or applicable
local standards) consistently applied shall be made of all material financial
transactions and matters involving the assets and business of Parent, the
Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be. Each of Parent and
the Borrower will, and will cause the Restricted Subsidiaries to, permit any
representatives designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, upon
reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its properties, to examine and
make extracts from its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances
and condition with its officers and independent accountants, all at such
reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested; provided that, excluding
any such visits and inspections during the continuation of an Event of Default,
only the Administrative Agent (acting jointly) on behalf of the Lenders may
exercise visitation and inspection rights of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders under this Section 5.08 and the Administrative Agent shall not exercise
such rights more often than one time during any calendar year absent the
existence of an Event of Default, which visitation and inspection shall be at
the reasonable expense of the Administrative Agent; provided, further that (a)
when an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any
of their respective representatives or independent contractors) may do any of
the foregoing at the expense of the Borrower at any time during normal business
hours and upon reasonable advance notice and (b) the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders shall give Parent and the Borrower the opportunity to participate in
any discussions with Parent’s independent public accountants.
SECTION 5.09    Compliance with Laws. Each of Parent and the Borrower will, and
will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, comply with its Organizational
Documents and all Requirements of Law with respect to it

109

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.
SECTION 5.10    Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit. The Borrower will use the
net proceeds of the Term Loans and any Revolving Loans drawn on the Effective
Date, together with the Equity Financing, the net proceeds of the RSN Notes, the
borrowings under the RSN Credit Agreement and cash on hand to, directly or
indirectly finance a portion of the Transactions; provided that the Revolving
Loans shall be available to the Borrower on the Effective Date in an amount
necessary to fund working capital and general corporate purposes, original issue
discount or upfront fees required to be paid on the Effective Date and any
Transactions Costs. The Borrower and its subsidiaries will use the proceeds of
the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans drawn after the Effective Date and
Letters of Credit for (i) any for working capital, general corporate purposes or
any other purpose permitted or not prohibited by this Agreement (including
Permitted Acquisitions and any other purpose permitted or not prohibited by this
Agreement) and (ii) any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, applied among
the Loans and any Incremental Term Loans in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. The proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans will be used for working
capital and general corporate purposes (including Permitted Acquisitions and any
other purpose permitted or not prohibited by this Agreement).
SECTION 5.11    Additional Subsidiaries. If any additional Restricted Subsidiary
is formed or acquired after the Effective Date (including, without limitation,
upon the formation of any Subsidiary that is a Delaware Divided LLC and is not
otherwise an Excluded Subsidiary), Parent or the Borrower will, within 90 days
after such newly formed or acquired Restricted Subsidiary is formed or acquired
(unless such Restricted Subsidiary is an Excluded Subsidiary), notify the
Collateral Agent thereof, and all actions (if any) required to be taken with
respect to such newly formed or acquired Restricted Subsidiary in order to
satisfy the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement shall have been taken with
respect to such Restricted Subsidiary and with respect to any Equity Interest in
or Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary owned by or on behalf of any Loan
Party within 90 days after such notice (or such longer period as the Collateral
Agent shall reasonably agree).
SECTION 5.12    Further Assurances.
(a)    Each of Parent and the Borrower will, and will cause each Loan Party to,
execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and
instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and
recording of financing statements and other documents), that may be required
under any applicable law and that the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders
may reasonably request, to cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be
and remain satisfied, all at the expense of the Loan Parties.
(b)    If, after the Effective Date, any material assets (excluding any owned or
leased real property or improvements thereto or any interest therein) are
acquired by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or are held by any Subsidiary
on or after the time it becomes a Loan Party pursuant to Section 5.11 (other
than assets constituting Collateral under a Security Document that become
subject to the Lien created by such Security Document upon acquisition thereof
or constituting Excluded Assets), the Borrower will (subject to the terms and
conditions of the last paragraph of the definition of the term “Collateral and
Guarantee Requirement” and of the Security Documents) notify the Collateral
Agent thereof, and, if requested by the Collateral Agent, the Borrower will
cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the Secured Obligations and
will take and cause the other Loan Parties to take, such actions as shall be
necessary and reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent and consistent with
the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to grant and perfect such Liens,
including actions described in paragraph (a) of this Section, all at the expense
of the Loan Parties and subject to last paragraph of the definition of the term
“Collateral and Guarantee Requirement.”

110

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 5.13    Ratings. Each of Parent and the Borrower will use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause (a) the Borrower to continuously have a corporate
rating from each of S&P and Moody’s (but not to maintain any specific rating)
and (b) the Term B-2 Loans to be continuously rated by each of S&P and Moody’s
(but not to maintain a specific rating).
SECTION 5.14    Certain Post-Closing Obligations. As promptly as practicable,
and in any event within the time periods after the Effective Date specified in
Schedule 5.14 or such later date as the Collateral Agent reasonably agrees to in
writing, including to reasonably accommodate circumstances unforeseen on the
Effective Date, Parent, the Borrower and each other Loan Party shall deliver the
documents or take the actions specified on Schedule 5.14 that would have been
required to be delivered or taken on the Effective Date but for the proviso to
Section 4.01(f), in each case except to the extent otherwise agreed by the
Collateral Agent pursuant to its authority as set forth in the definition of the
term “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement”.
SECTION 5.15    Designation of Subsidiaries.
(a)    Parent may at any time after the Effective Date designate any Restricted
Subsidiary (other than the Borrower) as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any
Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or any Subsidiary as a
Designated SBG Subsidiary; provided that, immediately before and after such
designation on a Pro Forma Basis as of the end of the most recent Test Period,
no Event of Default under clauses (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 shall
have occurred and be continuing. The designation of any Subsidiary as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary or the removal of any Designated SBG Subsidiary as a
Subsidiary after the Effective Date shall constitute an Investment by Parent or
its applicable Subsidiary therein at the date of designation in an amount equal
to the Fair Market Value of Parent’s or its Subsidiary’s (as applicable)
investment therein. The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a
Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute (i) the incurrence at the time of
designation of any Investment, Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing
at such time and (ii) a return on any Investment by such Person in Unrestricted
Subsidiaries pursuant to the preceding sentence in an amount equal to the Fair
Market Value at the date of such designation of such Person or its Subsidiary’s
(as applicable) Investment in such Subsidiary.
(b)    Each Designated SBG Subsidiary (unless constituting an Excluded
Subsidiary) shall become a “Subsidiary Loan Party” hereunder and all actions
required to be taken with respect to such Designated SBG Subsidiary in order to
satisfy the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement shall have been taken with
respect to such Designated SBG Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
Designated SBG Subsidiary shall not be required to become a “Subsidiary Loan
Party” hereunder or a “Grantor” under the Security Documents, so long as the
following requirements are satisfied: (i) (A) such Subsidiary is not liable,
directly or indirectly, with respect to any Indebtedness other than Non-Recourse
Indebtedness and has not guaranteed or otherwise provided credit support at the
time of such designation for any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries (other than the Subsidiaries of such Subsidiary) and (B) such
Subsidiary is directly owned by Parent or a wholly owned subsidiary thereof
which is a Guarantor hereunder and the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary has been
pledged in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Agreement or
(ii) at the time of acquisition of such Subsidiary by Parent, satisfaction of
the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement would violate any provision of
applicable law or any agreement to which such Subsidiary is a party, provided
that if at any time thereafter such Subsidiary (or any of its Subsidiaries)
shall cease to be subject to the prohibitions referred to in this clause (ii),
Parent will take such action, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to take
such action, promptly to ensure that such Subsidiary (and/or the relevant
Subsidiary or Subsidiaries of such Subsidiary) become “Subsidiary Loan Parties”
hereunder and promptly to satisfy the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement with
respect thereto (and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, without
further approval of the Lenders, to enter into such supplements to the Guarantee
and to the Collateral Agreement or any joinder or other agreement relating
thereto as shall be necessary to give effect to the foregoing).

111

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 5.16    Change in Business. Parent, the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will not fundamentally and substantively alter
the character of their business, taken as a whole, from the business conducted
by them on the Effective Date and other business activities which are
extensions, development or expansion thereof or otherwise incidental,
complementary, reasonably related or ancillary to any of the foregoing
(including, without limitation, any such extension, development or expansion
into any Similar Business).
SECTION 5.17    Changes in Fiscal Periods. The Borrower shall not make any
change in its fiscal year; provided, however, that the Borrower may, upon
written notice to the Administrative Agent, change its fiscal year to any other
fiscal year reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in which case,
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent will, and are hereby authorized by the
Lenders to, make any adjustments to this Agreement that are necessary to reflect
such change in fiscal year.
SECTION 5.18    Plan Assets. No Loan Party or Subsidiary will be an entity
deemed to hold “plan assets” within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations.

ARTICLE VI

of the Loan Document Obligations pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement and (C) if
the Indebtedness being Guaranteed is subordinated to the Loan Document
Obligations, such Guarantee shall be subordinated to the Guarantee of the Loan
Document Obligations on terms at least as favorable to the Lenders as those
contained in the subordination of such Indebtedness;
(iv)    Indebtedness, Disqualified Equity Interests and Preferred Stock owing to
any other Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower or Parent to the extent permitted

Party shall be subordinated to the Loan Document Obligations (but only to the
extent permitted by applicable law and not giving rise to material adverse Tax
consequences) on terms (A) at least as favorable

Acquisition or any Investment permitted by or not prohibited by this Agreement,
or Indebtedness, Disqualified Equity Interests or Preferred Stock of any Person
that is assumed by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in
connection with an acquisition of assets by the Borrower or such Restricted

property) of or in respect of principal of or interest on any Junior Financing,
or any payment or other distribution (whether in cash, securities or other
property), including any sinking fund or similar deposit, on account of the
purchase, redemption, retirement, acquisition, cancellation or termination of
any Junior Financing (or a portion thereof) meets the criteria of clauses (i)
through (v) above, the Borrower will be entitled to divide, classify or later

reclassification) such payment (or portion thereof) between such clauses (i)
through (v), in a manner that otherwise complies with this Section 6.08(b).
(c)    The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, amend or modify any documentation governing any Junior

this Section 6.08 will not prohibit the payment of any Restricted Payment or the
consummation of any irrevocable redemption, purchase, defeasance or other
payment within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof or the giving of
such irrevocable notice, as applicable, if at the date of declaration or the
giving of such notice such payment would have complied with the provisions of

modifications, waivers, consents or replacements is not materially more
disadvantageous in the judgment of the Board of Directors of the Borrower or the

compared to the totality of such agreements or arrangements as in effect on the
Effective Date);

any direct or indirect parent thereof;
(xii)    transactions related to or in connection with any Permitted Receivables

relating to registration rights and indemnities provided to equity holders of

ending on or about December 31, 2019) to exceed 4.50 to 1.00 (provided that the
provisions of this Section 6.10 shall not be applicable to any such Test Period

SECTION 6.11    License Subsidiaries.
(a)    Whenever the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries acquires any Broadcast
License after the Effective Date, the Borrower shall cause such acquisition to
take place as follows in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations,
including pursuant to approvals from the FCC: (i) each Broadcast License so
acquired shall be transferred to and held by a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the
Borrower that is a License Subsidiary (provided that any License Subsidiary
shall be permitted to hold one or more Broadcast Licenses); (ii) the related
operating assets shall be transferred to and held by an operating company that
is a Subsidiary of the Borrower (an “Operating Subsidiary”); and (iii) the
Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered (if not theretofore delivered)
to the Administrative Agent, to the extent required under the Collateral
Agreement and the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement pursuant to and subject
to the terms thereof, a pledge of all Capital Stock of such License Subsidiary
and such Operating Subsidiary (and, if reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent, furnish to the Administrative Agent evidence that the
foregoing transactions have been so effected).
(b)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall not
permit any License Subsidiary to: (i) create, incur, assume or have outstanding

Obligations and subject to a Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or subordinated

prohibited under Section 6.01 and the contractual agreements with one or more
Operating Subsidiaries entered into in the ordinary course of business solely
with respect to the management of the relevant Station’s operations; (ii) own
any right, franchise or other asset, except for Broadcast Licenses transferred
to it by the Borrower of which it is a wholly-owned Subsidiary, Broadcast

franchises or other assets; (v) engage in any business other than holding
Broadcast Licenses, such agreements with Operating Subsidiaries and incidental
activities thereto; or (vi) make or hold any Investment.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, the Borrower
and the Subsidiary Loan Parties shall not be obligated to effect any transaction
contrary to law or the rules, regulations or policies of the FCC, and shall be
permitted to unwind the transactions contemplated by this Section to the extent
necessary to comply with a ruling of the FCC; provided that the Borrower shall
and shall cause each of the Subsidiary Loan Parties to use its best efforts to
carry out the provisions of this Section consistent with all laws

139

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and all rules, regulations and policies of the FCC, including pursuing any
necessary approval or consents of the FCC.
(d)    The Borrower will cause all Broadcast Licenses for Owned Stations at all
times to be held in the name of the respective License Subsidiary for the Owned
Station being operated under authority of such Broadcast Licenses.

SECTION 6.12    Covenant Suspension. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, during any period of time when (x) the Borrower (or its
successor) satisfies the Ratings Condition and is rated by two Rating Agencies,
or from any two or three Rating Agencies in the event the Borrower is rated by
three Rating Agencies and (y) no Default has occurred and is continuing (such
event, a “Covenant Suspension Event”), Parent (solely in the case of Section
6.07), the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be required to
comply with the terms of Section 6.01, the Permitted Receivables Financing Cap,
Section 6.04, Section 6.06, Section 6.07, Section 6.08, Section 6.09 and Section
6.11 (the covenants in such Sections, the “Suspension Covenants”); provided that
(x) for purposes of compliance with Section 6.02, if Section 6.02 references any
portion of Section 6.01, such limitation or restriction included in Section 6.01
will continue to apply under Section 6.02 as if Section 6.01 was in effect and
any failure to comply with such limitations or restrictions shall be a default
under Section 7.01(d) and (y) the 75% cash consideration requirement set forth
in Section 6.05(k) shall be calculated on an aggregate basis with respect to all
Dispositions made under such covenant from and after the Effective Date and
until the Reversion Date. In the event that Parent, the Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries are not required to comply with the Suspension Covenants
for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date
(the “Reversion Date”) the Ratings Condition is not satisfied, then Parent
(solely with respect to Section 6.07), the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries will thereafter again be required to comply with the Suspension
Covenants with respect to any future events or transactions. Notwithstanding
that the Suspension Covenants may be reinstated, no Default, Event of Default or
breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under any Loan Document with respect
to the Suspension Covenants and none of Parent (solely with respect to Section
6.07), the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for
any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period, or any
actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior
to the Reversion Date, as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspension
Covenants during the Suspension Period (or upon termination of the Suspension
Period or after that time based solely on events that occurred during the
Suspension Period).
It is understood and agreed that (a) with respect to Restricted Payments or
payments of Junior Financing made on or after the Reversion Date, the amount of
Restricted Payments and Junior Financing made will be calculated as though the
covenant in Section 6.08(a) or Section 6.08(b) had been in effect prior to, but
not during the Suspension Period, (b) all Indebtedness incurred or issued during
the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued
pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(ii), (c) all Investments completed during the
Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to
Section 6.04(f), (d) any transaction prohibited pursuant to Section 6.07 entered
into after the Reversion Date pursuant to an agreement entered into during any
Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to clause (a)(i) of
Section 6.07 and (e) any transaction with an Affiliate entered into after the
Reversion Date pursuant to an agreement entered into during any Suspension
Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to clause (viii) of Section
6.09. No subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary during the
continuance of a Covenant Suspension Event, unless such designation would have
complied with Section 6.04 of this Agreement as if such Section 6.04 would have
been in effect for the purposes of designating Unrestricted Subsidiaries from
the Effective Date to the date of such designation.

of any Material Indebtedness, when and as the same shall become due and payable
(after giving effect to any applicable grace period);

141

becoming due prior to its scheduled maturity or that enables or permits (with
all applicable grace periods having expired) the holder or holders of any
Material Indebtedness or any trustee or agent on its or their behalf to cause
any Material Indebtedness to become due, or to require the prepayment,
repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity,

(including as a result of a casualty or condemnation event) of the property or
assets securing such Indebtedness, (ii) termination events or similar events
occurring under any Swap Agreement that constitutes Material Indebtedness (it

or (iii) any breach or default that is (I) remedied by the Borrower or the
applicable Restricted Subsidiary or (II) waived (including in the form of
amendment) by the required holders of the applicable item of Indebtedness, in
either case, prior to the acceleration of Loans and Commitments pursuant to this

be entered;
(i)    Parent, the Borrower, or any Significant Subsidiary shall (i) voluntarily

Documents or (B) file Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements or (iii)
as a result of acts or omissions of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative

and at the request of the Required Lenders (or, if an Event of Default resulting

prior to the expiration of the Standstill Period, (x) at the request of the
Required Revolving Lenders (in such case only with respect to the Revolving
Commitments, Revolving Loans, Swingline Commitments, and any Letters of Credit)

immediately and (iii) require the deposit of cash collateral in respect of LC
Exposure as provided in Section 2.05(j), in each case, without presentment,

SECTION 7.02    Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 7.01, in the event that the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries fail to comply with the requirements of the Financial Performance
Covenant as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Borrower, at any time
after the beginning of such fiscal quarter until the expiration of the 10th
Business Day following the date on which the financial statements with respect
to such fiscal quarter (or the fiscal year ended on the last day of such fiscal
quarter) are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or Section
5.01(b), the Borrower or any Parent Entity thereof shall have the right to issue
common Equity Interests or other Equity Interests (provided such other Equity
Interests are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) for cash or
otherwise receive cash contributions to the capital of the Borrower as cash
common Equity Interests or other Equity Interests (provided such other Equity
Interests are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent)
(collectively, the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by the Borrower of the
Net Proceeds of such issuance that are not otherwise applied (the “Cure Amount”)
pursuant to the exercise by the Borrower of such Cure Right such Financial
Performance Covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro
forma adjustment:
(a)    Consolidated EBITDA shall be increased with respect to such applicable
fiscal quarter and any four fiscal quarter period that contains such fiscal
quarter, solely for the purpose

143

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of measuring the Financial Performance Covenant and not for any other purpose
under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount;
(b)    if, after giving effect to the foregoing pro forma adjustment (without
giving effect to any portion of the Cure Amount on the balance sheet of the
Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to such fiscal quarter
only but with giving pro forma effect to any portion of the Cure Amount applied
to any repayment of any Indebtedness), the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Financial
Performance Covenants, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be
deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant
as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there
had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach
or default of the Financial Performance Covenant that had occurred shall be
deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement; and
(c)    notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) in each four
consecutive fiscal quarter period of the Borrower there shall be at least two
fiscal quarters in which the Cure Right is not exercised, (ii) during the term
of this Agreement, the Cure Right shall not be exercised more than five times
and (iii) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for
purposes of complying with the Financial Performance Covenant and any amounts in
excess thereof shall not be deemed to be a Cure Amount. Notwithstanding any
other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Cure Amount received
pursuant to any exercise of the Cure Right shall be disregarded for purposes of
determining the Available Amount, the Available Equity Amount, any financial
ratio-based conditions or tests, pricing or any available basket under Article
VI of this Agreement.
SECTION 7.03    Application of Proceeds. After the exercise of remedies provided
for in Section 7.01, any amounts received on account of the Secured Obligations
shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 4.02 of the
Collateral Agreement and/or the similar provisions in the other Security
Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Excluded Swap Obligations with respect
to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or
its assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments
from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Secured Obligations
otherwise set forth in Section 4.02 of the Collateral Agreement and/or the
similar provisions in the other Security Documents.
ARTICLE VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND COLLATERAL AGENT
SECTION 8.01    Authorization and Action. (a) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank
hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and its successors and
assigns to serve as the administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan
Documents and each Lender and each Issuing Bank authorizes the Administrative
Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the
laws of any jurisdiction other than within the United States, each Lender and
each Issuing Bank hereby grants to the Administrative Agent any required powers
of attorney to execute and enforce any Security Document governed by the laws of
such jurisdiction on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s behalf. Without
limiting the foregoing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations
under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party,
and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent
may have under such Loan Documents.
(b)    As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan
Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall
not be required to exercise any discretion or take any

144

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be
fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written
instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents),
and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding
upon each Lender and each Issuing Bank; provided, however, that the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the
Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the
Administrative Agent receives an indemnification and is exculpated in a manner
satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Issuing Banks with respect to such
action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic
stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture,
modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of
any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or
relief of debtors; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may seek
clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of
any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification
or direction has been provided. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan
Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and
shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the
Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is
communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any
of its Affiliates in any capacity. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the
Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for
believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk
or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(c)    In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders
and the Issuing Banks (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for
herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely
mechanical and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing:
(i)    the Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have
assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary
or trustee of or for any Lender, Issuing Bank or holder of any other obligation
other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents,
regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or
any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the
Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other
implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable
law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to
create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting
parties); additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim
against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by
the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and/or the
transactions contemplated hereby;
(ii)    where the Administrative Agent is required or deemed to act as a trustee
in respect of any Collateral over which a security interest has been created
pursuant to a Loan Document expressed to be governed by the laws of the United
States, or is required or deemed to hold any Collateral “on trust” pursuant to
the foregoing, the obligations and liabilities of the Administrative Agent to
the Secured Parties in its capacity as trustee shall be excluded to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law; and
(iii)    nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the
Administrative Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element
of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account;
(d)    The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise its
rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any
one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of their respective duties and
exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related
Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such
sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such
sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities pursuant to this
Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall

145

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to
the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and
nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence
or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.
(e)    None of the Lead Arranger shall have obligations or duties whatsoever in
such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall incur no
liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but all such persons shall
have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.
(f)    In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party
under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or
similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective
of whether the principal of any Loan or any reimbursement obligation shall then
be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on
the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(i)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and
interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Disbursements and all
other Loan Document Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim
under Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15, 2.17 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial
proceeding; and
(ii)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Lender, each Issuing Bank and each other Secured Party to make such payments to
the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall
consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Issuing
Banks or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any
amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan
Documents (including under Section 9.03). Nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or
accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Loan
Document Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank or to authorize
the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or
Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.
(g)    The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and, except solely to
the extent of the Borrower’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or
any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any rights as a third party
beneficiary under any such provisions. Each Secured Party, whether or not a
party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the
Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Loan Document Obligations provided under
the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article.
SECTION 8.02 Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Indemnification, Etc. (a) Neither
the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be (i) liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by such party, the Administrative Agent
or any of its Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents (x) with the consent of or at the request of the Required
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be
necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or (y) in
the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to
be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by
a final and non-appealable judgment) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of
the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by
any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document
referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or
in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value,
validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to
perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

146

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)    The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any
Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of
default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an
Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have
any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or
representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in
connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan
Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other
agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set
forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm
receipt of items (which on their face purport to be such items) expressly
required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any
condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being
acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the creation,
perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or (vii) compliance by
Affiliated Lenders with the terms hereof relating to Affiliated Lenders.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall
not be liable for, or be responsible for any claim, liability, loss, cost or
expense suffered by the Borrower, any Subsidiary, any Lender or any Issuing Bank
as a result of, any determination of the Revolving Exposure, any of the
component amounts thereof or any portion thereof attributable to each Lender or
Issuing Bank.
(c)    Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may treat
the payee of any promissory note as its holder until such promissory note has
been assigned in accordance with Section 9.04, (ii) may rely on the Register to
the extent set forth in Section 9.04(b), (iii) may consult with legal counsel
(including counsel to the Borrower), independent public accountants and other
experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted
to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel,
accountants or experts, (iv) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender
or Issuing Bank and shall not be responsible to any Lender or Issuing Bank for
any statements, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of any Loan
Party in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) in
determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or
the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, may presume that such condition is
satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent
shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank
sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan or the issuance of such
Letter of Credit and (vi) shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no
liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by
acting upon, any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing
(which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet
website posting or other distribution) or any statement made to it orally or by
telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise
authenticated by the proper party or parties (whether or not such Person in fact
meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker
thereof).
SECTION 8.03    Posting of Communications. (a) The Borrower agrees that the
Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications
available to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by posting the Communications on
IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform
chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the
“Approved Electronic Platform”).
(b)    Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are
secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented
or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the
Effective Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved
Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby
each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal
basis, each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Banks and the Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic
medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not
responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any
Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be
confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the
Lenders, each of the Issuing Banks and the Borrower hereby approves distribution
of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands
and assumes the risks of such distribution.

147

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c)    THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS
IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT
THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE
APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR
OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD
PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE
APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED
ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LEAD
ARRANGER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE
PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER, ANY ISSUING BANK OR
ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR
INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES
(WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR
THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.
“Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication,
information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan
Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein
which is distributed by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank
by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including
through an Approved Electronic Platform.
(d)    Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees that notice to it (as provided
in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the
Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the
Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender
and Issuing Bank agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which
could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such
Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing
notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice
may be sent to such email address.
(e)    Each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Banks and the Borrower agrees
that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable
law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved
Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally
applicable document retention procedures and policies.
(f)    Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, any
Lender or any Issuing Bank to give any notice or other communication pursuant to
any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.
SECTION 8.04    The Administrative Agent Individually. With respect to its
Commitment, Loans (including Swingline Loans), Letter of Credit Commitments and
Letters of Credit, the Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall have and
may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same
obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other
Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The terms “Issuing Banks”,
“Lenders”, “Required Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context
clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity as a Lender, Issuing Bank or as one of the Required Lenders, as
applicable. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates
may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial
advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind
of banking, trust or other business with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any
Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if such Person was not acting as the
Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or
the Issuing Banks.
SECTION 8.05    Successor Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may
resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the
Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower, whether or not a successor
Administrative Agent has been appointed. Upon any such resignation, the Required
Lenders shall

148

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor
Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and
shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring
Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks,
appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office
in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank. In either case, such
appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower
(which approval shall not be required while an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent
by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall
succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of the retiring Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of appointment
as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the
retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably
necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as
Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.
(b)    Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section 8.05, in the event no
successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent
gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give
notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks
and the Borrower, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation
stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents;
provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted
to the Administrative Agent under any Security Document for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested
with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, and continue to be entitled to the rights set forth in such Security
Document and Loan Document, and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession
of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each
case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and
accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section (it being understood
and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or
obligation to take any further action under any Security Document, including any
action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest), and
(ii) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent;
provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other
Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other
than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all
notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to
the Administrative Agent shall directly be given or made to each Lender and each
Issuing Bank. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s
resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and
Section 9.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification
provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for
the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as
Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso
under clause (i) above.
SECTION 8.06    Acknowledgments of Lenders and Issuing Banks.
(a)    Each Lender represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding
commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Lead
Arranger or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the
foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender
also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent, any Lead Arranger or any other Lender, or any of the
Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and
information (which may contain material, non-public information within the
meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its
Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.

149

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)    Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the
Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption
or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder,
shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved,
each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be
approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the
Effective Date.
SECTION 8.07    Collateral Matters. (a) Except with respect to the exercise of
setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.08 or with respect to a Secured
Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured
Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or
to enforce any Guarantee of the Secured Obligations, it being understood and
agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be
exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in
accordance with the terms thereof.
(b)    In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no
arrangements in respect of Cash Management Services the obligations under which
constitute Secured Cash Management Obligations and no Swap Agreement the
obligations under which constitute Secured Swap Obligations, will create (or be
deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any
rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the
obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan Document. By accepting the benefits
of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such arrangement in
respect of Cash Management Services or Swap Agreement, as applicable, shall be
deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative
agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by
the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set
forth in this paragraph.
(c)    The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at
its option and in its discretion, to subordinate any Lien on any property
granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the
holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(a). The
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or
inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or
collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the
Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon or any certificate prepared by any Loan
Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible
or liable to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for any failure to monitor
or maintain any portion of the Collateral.
SECTION 8.08    Credit Bidding.
(a)    The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative
Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any
portion of the Secured Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the
Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to
a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either
directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the
Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy
Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is
subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in
lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the
Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance
with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase,
the Secured Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and
shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the
Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Secured Obligations with respect to
contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired
assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in
an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount
used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so
purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition
vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In
connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized
to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid
to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’
ratable interests in the Secured Obligations which were credit bid shall be
deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such
vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the
Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the
governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any

150

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or
vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof,
shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall
provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted
assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the
applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of
the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations
on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 9.02 of this Agreement),
(iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles
shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account
of the relevant Secured Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as
equity, partnership interests, limited partnership interests or membership
interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by
such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or
acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that
Secured Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to
acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or
better, because the amount of Secured Obligations assigned to the acquisition
vehicle exceeds the amount of Secured Obligations credit bid by the acquisition
vehicle or otherwise), such Secured Obligations shall automatically be
reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such
Secured Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by
any acquisition vehicle on account of such Secured Obligations shall
automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any
acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable
portion of the Secured Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to
the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each
Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information
regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will
receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as
the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation
of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans,
the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in
connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative
Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or
thereto).

Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide investment advice or
to give advice in a fiduciary capacity in connection with the transactions

used in Schedule 9.02(a) shall have their respective meanings as set forth in
the Existing Credit Agreement and all cross-references in Schedule 9.02(a) shall
be cross-references to provisions set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement)
and (y) the terms of Section 2.14(b) shall not apply. Thereafter, (x) the
provisions set forth in Section 9.02(b) through Section 9.02(h) below shall
govern and (y) the terms of Section 2.14(b) shall apply.
(b)    No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent,
any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power under any 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 Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the
Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any 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
paragraph (c) of this Section, 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 Loan or the
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall not be
construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent, or any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had
notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on the
Borrower or Parent in any case shall entitle the Borrower or Parent to any other
or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(c)    Except as expressly provided herein, neither any Loan Document nor any
provision 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
Parent, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (to the extent that such waiver,
amendment or modification does not affect the rights, duties, privileges or
obligations of the Administrative Agent under this

153

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall execute such waiver, amendment or
other modification to the extent approved by the Required Lenders) 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 Administrative Agent and
the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the
consent of the Required Lenders, provided that no such agreement shall (i)
increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender
(it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in
Section 4.02 or the waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory
prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an
extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender), (ii) reduce the
principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement (it being understood that a
waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory
reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute a reduction or forgiveness in
principal) or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable
hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely
affected thereby (it being understood that any change to the definition of
“First Lien Leverage Ratio” or in the component definitions thereof shall not
constitute a reduction of interest or fees); provided that only the consent of
the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower
to pay default interest pursuant to Section 2.13(c), (iii) postpone the maturity
of any Loan (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default,
mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not
constitute an extension of any maturity date), or the date of any scheduled
amortization payment of the principal amount of any Loan under Section 2.10 or
the applicable Refinancing Amendment or Loan Modification Agreement, or the
reimbursement date with respect to any LC Disbursement, or any date for the
payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of,
waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration
of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly and
adversely affected thereby), (iv) change any of the provisions of this Section
without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected
thereby, provided that any such change which is in favor of a Class of Lenders
holding Loans maturing after the maturity of other Classes of Lenders (and only
takes effect after the maturity of such other Classes of Loans or Commitments)
will require the written consent of the Required Lenders with respect to each
Class directly and adversely affected thereby, (v) lower the percentage set
forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan
Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any
Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any
determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of
each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be), (vi) release all
or substantially all the value of the Guarantees under the Guarantee Agreement
(except as permitted or provided for in the Loan Documents) without the written
consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), (vii) release all or
substantially all the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents,
without the written consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender)
(except as permitted or provided for in the Loan Documents), (viii) change any
provision of Section 2.18(c) or Section 4.02 of the Collateral Agreement, in
each case in any manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments or
other amounts required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender
directly and adversely affected thereby; provided that modifications to Section
2.18(c) in connection with (x) any buy back of Term Loans by any Purchasing
Borrower Party (including the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries)
pursuant to Section 9.04, (y) any Incremental Facility Amendment or (z) any
Refinancing Amendment, in each case, shall only require approval (to the extent
any such approval is otherwise required by such provisions) of the Required
Lenders, or (ix) change the currency in which any Loan is denominated, without
the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, further,
that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or
duties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or
any Swingline Lender without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent, Collateral Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be,
including, without limitation, any amendment of this Section, (B) any provision
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in
writing entered into by Parent, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to
cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, error, defect or inconsistency and (C)
any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms
affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding Loans or
Commitments of a particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Loans or
Commitments of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in
writing entered into solely by Parent, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
and the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders
stating that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such
Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and
restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative
Agent, Parent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit
facilities to this Agreement and to permit the

154

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 and (ii) to include appropriately the
Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required
Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Lenders prior to such inclusion;
(b) this Agreement and other Loan Documents may be amended or supplemented by an
agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and
Parent, the Borrower or any Loan Party as to which such agreement or agreements
is to apply, without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender, to include
“parallel debt” or similar provisions, and any authorizations or granting of
powers by the Lenders and the other Secured Parties in favor of the Collateral
Agent, in each case required to create in favor of the Collateral Agent any
security interest contemplated to be created under this Agreement, or to perfect
any such security interest, where the Administrative Agent shall have been
advised by its counsel that such provisions are necessary or advisable under
local law for such purpose (with Parent and the Borrower hereby agreeing to, and
to cause their subsidiaries to, enter into any such agreement or agreements upon
reasonable request of the Administrative Agent promptly upon such request); and
(c) upon notice thereof by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent with respect
to the inclusion of any previously absent financial maintenance covenant, this
Agreement shall be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent without the need to obtain the consent of
any Lender to include such covenant on the date of the incurrence of the
applicable Indebtedness to the extent required by the terms of such definition
or section.
(d)    In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or
termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all
directly and adversely affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders
to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of
other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose
consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (c) of this Section being
referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, the Borrower may, at its sole
expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting 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 Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible
Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided
that (a) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount
equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and
all other amounts (including any amounts under Section 2.11(a)(i)), payable to
it hereunder from the Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all
other amounts) and (b) unless waived, such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to
the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section
9.04(b).
(e)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to
the contrary, Revolving Commitments, Revolving Exposure and Term Loans of any
Lender that is at the time a Defaulting Lender shall not have any voting or
approval rights under the Loan Documents and shall be excluded in determining
whether all Lenders (or all Lenders of a Class), all affected Lenders (or all
affected Lenders of a Class) or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any
action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to
this Section 9.02); provided that (i) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender
may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (ii) any
waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each
affected Lender that affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other
affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.  
(f)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to
the contrary, each Affiliated Lender (other than an Affiliated Debt Fund) hereby
agrees that, if a proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any
other Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar
law shall be commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party at a
time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender
irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf
of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Loans held by such Affiliated
Lender in any manner in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, unless the
Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case
such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Loans held by it as the
Administrative Agent directs; provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be
entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance
with the direction of the Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of
reorganization to the extent any such plan of

155

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

reorganization proposes to treat any Secured Obligations held by such Affiliated
Lender in a manner that is less favorable in any material respect to such
Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar Secured Obligations
held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrower.
(g)    Without any further consent of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and
the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to negotiate, execute and deliver on
behalf of the Secured Parties any Intercreditor Agreement in a form
substantially consistent with Exhibit E or Exhibit F hereto.
(h)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, only the Required Revolving Lenders shall
have the ability to waive, amend, supplement or modify the covenant set forth in
(x) Section 6.10, Article VII (solely as it relates to Section 6.10) or any
component definition of the covenant set forth in Section 6.10 (solely as it
relates to Section 6.10), (y) Section 6.12 only to the extent such amendment,
supplement or modification does not directly or indirectly affect Lenders (in
their capacity as such) holding Loans other than Revolving Commitments and
Revolving Loans or (z) Section 4.02 to the extent such amendment, supplement or
modification relates to the borrowing of Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans or
Letters of Credit.
SECTION 9.03    Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
(a)    The Borrower shall pay, if the Effective Date occurs, (i) all reasonable
and documented or invoiced out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent and their Affiliates (without duplication),
including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Simpson Thacher &
Bartlett LLP and to the extent reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent
to be necessary one regulatory counsel or otherwise retained with the Borrower’s
consent, in each case for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and
to the extent retained with the Borrower’s consent, consultants, in connection
with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the
preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof; provided that such charges,
fees and disbursement of regulatory counsel, together with any fees, charges and
disbursement of regulatory counsel for credit facilities to be obtained on the
Effective Date by RSN, shall not exceed $75,000 and (ii) all reasonable and
documented or invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the
fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, in connection with the
enforcement or protection of their respective rights in connection with the Loan
Documents, including their respective rights under this Section, or in
connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including
all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit; provided that such
counsel shall be limited to one lead counsel and one local counsel in each
applicable jurisdiction and, in the case of a conflict of interest, one
additional counsel per affected party.
(b)    The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Lender
and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being
called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and
all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented or
invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses of one counsel and one local counsel in
each applicable jurisdiction (and, in the case of a conflict of interest, where
the Indemnitee affected by such conflict notifies the Borrower of the existence
of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, one additional counsel)
for all Indemnitees (which may include a single special counsel acting in
multiple jurisdictions), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee by any
third party or by Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan
Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the
performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations
thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions
contemplated thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the
proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand
for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection
with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of
Credit), (iii) to the extent in any way arising from or relating to any of the
foregoing, any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on,
at or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by Parent, the
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or any other Environmental
Liability, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or
proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract,

156

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Parent, the
Borrower or any Subsidiary and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party
thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
related expenses (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by
final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct of, or a material breach of the Loan Documents by,
such Indemnitee or its Related Parties or (ii) any dispute between and among
indemnified persons that does not involve an act or omission by Parent, the
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries except that each Agent, the Lead
Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners and the Issuing Banks shall be indemnified in
their capacities as such to the extent that none of the exceptions set forth in
clause (i) applies to such Person at such time.
(c)    To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be
paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Swingline
Lender or any Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, and
without limiting the Borrower’s obligation to do so, each Lender severally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Swingline Lender or
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of
the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is
sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or
indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may
be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, Collateral
Agent, Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank, in its capacity as such. For purposes
hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of
the aggregate Revolving Exposure, outstanding Loans and unused Commitments at
the time. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to
the last sentence of Section 2.02 (which shall apply mutatis mutandis to the
Lenders’ obligations under this paragraph (c)).
(d)    To the full extent permitted by applicable law, none of Parent or the
Borrower shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee
(i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other
materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information
transmission systems (including the Internet), provided that such indemnity
shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such damages
are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final, non-appealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or
a breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee or its Related Parties, or
(ii) 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, any Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument contemplated thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit
or the use of the proceeds thereof.
(e)    All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 10
Business Days after written demand therefor; provided, however, that any
Indemnitee shall promptly refund an indemnification payment received hereunder
to the extent that there is a final judicial determination that such Indemnitee
was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such payment pursuant to
this Section 9.03.
SECTION 9.04    Successors and Assigns.
(a)    The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any
Letter of Credit), except that (i) a Loan Party may not assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower
without such consent shall be null and void), (ii) no assignment shall be made
to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Persons who, upon
becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons
described in this clause (ii) and (iii) no Lender may assign or otherwise
transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this
Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to
confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing
Bank that issued any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in
paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby,
the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

157

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)    (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b)(ii) and (g)
below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion
of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written
consent of (A) the Borrower (such consent (except with respect to assignments to
competitors of the Borrower) not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an
assignment (1) by a Term Lender to any Lender or an Affiliate of any Lender, (2)
by a Term Lender to an Approved Fund, (3) by a Revolving Lender to a Revolving
Lender or an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of a Revolving Lender, or (4) if an
Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is
continuing, by a Term Lender or a Revolving Lender and provided, further, that
the Borrower shall have the right to withhold its consent to any assignment if,
in order for such assignment to comply with applicable law, the Borrower would
be required to obtain the consent of, or make any filing or registration with,
any Governmental Authority, (B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and (C) solely in the case of
Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments, each Issuing Bank and Swingline
Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned),
provided that no consent of any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender shall be
required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan or Term
Commitment. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.04 to the contrary, if
any Person (other than the Administrative Agent) whose consent is required by
this paragraph with respect to any assignment has not given the Administrative
Agent written notice of its objection to such assignment within 10 Business Days
after written notice to such Person, such Person shall be deemed in each case to
have consented to such assignment.
(ii)    Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A)
except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans
of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the
trade date specified in the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such
assignment or, if no trade date is so specified, as of the date the Assignment
and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent) shall not be less than, in the case of a Revolving Loan or
Revolving Commitment, $1,000,000 or, in the case of a Term Loan, $1,000,000,
unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no such consent of
the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a),
(b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, (B) each partial assignment
shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this
subclause (B) shall not be construed to prohibit assignment of a proportionate
part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one
Class of Commitments or Loans, (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption (which
shall include a representation by the assignee that it meets all the
requirements to be an Eligible Assignee), together (unless waived by the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) with a processing and recordation
fee of $3,500, provided that assignments made pursuant to Section 2.19(b) or
Section 9.02(d) shall not require the signature of the assigning Lender to
become effective and (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent any tax forms required by Section 2.17(e)
and 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, the Loan Parties 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.
        Assignments of all or any portion of the Revolving Commitment of a
Lender that is also an Issuing Bank may be made; provided that the assignee (or
any Lender with a Revolving Commitment who agrees to act in such capacity) shall
be or become an Issuing Bank and assume a ratable portion of such assignor’s
Letter of Credit Commitment and its rights and obligations in its capacity as
Issuing Bank.
(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 Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and,
to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, 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 Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an

158

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto
but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of (and subject to the
obligations and limitations of) Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and 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 a non-fiduciary
agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each
Assignment and Assumption delivered to it, each Affiliated Lender Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal and interest
amounts of the Loans and LC Disbursements 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 Parent, the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks 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. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register
information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any
Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by
the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Administrative
Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is
an Affiliated Lender, nor shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to monitor
the aggregate amount of the Loans or Incremental Term Loans held by Affiliated
Lenders.
(v)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed
by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative
Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 2.17(e) (unless the assignee
shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee
referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such
assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent
shall accept such Assignment and Assumption 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 (b).
(vi)    The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in
any Assignment and Assumption 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 Persons
(other than to a Person that is not an Eligible Assignee) (a “Participant”),
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) Parent, the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks 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 the first proviso to Section 9.02(c) 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 (and subject to the obligations and limitations of) Sections 2.15,
2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a 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, provided that such Participant agrees
to be subject to Section 2.18(b) as though it were a Lender.

159

(ii)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 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 consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(iii)    Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this
purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which
it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts
(and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other
obligations under the Loan Documents (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 Commitments, Loans
or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such
disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit or other proceeding to
establish that such Commitment, 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 (absent manifest error), and
each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the
terms hereof shall be treated as a Participant for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary
(d)    Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including
any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or
other central bank, 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 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 Loan and (ii) if an
SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any
part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan
pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall
utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if,
such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. 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 Loans 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 Loans and (ii) disclose on a
confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any
rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or
credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV.
(f)    Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement to the Affiliated Lenders, subject to the
following limitations:
(1)    Affiliated Lenders will not receive information provided solely to
Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to
attend or participate in meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of Borrowings,
notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans
or Commitments required to

160

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II; provided, however, that the
foregoing provisions of this clause will not apply to the Affiliated Debt Funds;
(2)    for purposes of any amendment, waiver or modification of any Loan
Document (including such modifications pursuant to Section 9.02), or, subject to
Section 9.02(e), any plan of reorganization pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code, that in either case does not require the consent of each Lender or each
affected Lender or does not adversely affect such Affiliated Lender in any
material respect as compared to other Lenders, Affiliated Lenders will be deemed
to have voted in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Affiliated
Lenders voting on such matter; and each Affiliated Lender hereby acknowledges,
agrees and consents that if, for any reason, its vote to accept or reject any
plan pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code is not deemed to have been so voted,
then such vote will be (x) deemed not to be in good faith and (y) “designated”
pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code such that the vote is
not counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected
such plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code;
provided that Affiliated Debt Funds will not be subject to such voting
limitations and will be entitled to vote as any other Lender;
(3)    the aggregate principal amount of Loans purchased by assignment pursuant
to this Section 9.04 and held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders (other than
Affiliated Debt Funds) may not exceed 30% of the outstanding principal amount of
all Loans plus the outstanding principal amount of all term loans made pursuant
to any Incremental Term Loan calculated at the time such Loans are purchased
(such percentage, the “Affiliated Lender Cap”); provided that to the extent any
assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal
amount of all Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender
Cap, the assignment of such excess amount will be void ab initio;
(4)    Affiliated Lenders may not purchase Revolving Loans; and
(5)    the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s
Loans shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment
agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (an “Affiliated Lender
Assignment and Assumption”); provided that each Affiliated Lender agrees to
notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly (and in any event
within 10 Business Days) if it acquires any Person who is also a Lender, and
each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly
(and in any event within 10 Business Days) if it becomes an Affiliated Lender.
Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02 or the definition of “Required Lenders”
to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have
(i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent
or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any
departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter
related to any Loan Document, or (iii) 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, the aggregate
amount of Loans held by any Affiliated Debt Funds shall be deemed to be not
outstanding to the extent in excess of 49.9% of the amount required for all
purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders have taken any actions.
Each Affiliated Lender by its acquisition of any Loans outstanding hereunder
will be deemed to have waived any right it may otherwise have had to bring any
action in connection with such Loans against the Administrative Agent, in its
capacity as such, and will be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that the
Administrative Agent shall not have any liability for any losses suffered by any
Person as a result of any purported assignment to or from an Affiliated Lender.
 
(g)    Assignments of Term Loans to any Purchasing Borrower Party shall be
permitted through open market purchases and/or “Dutch auctions”, so long as any
offer to purchase or take by assignment (other than through open market
purchases) by such Purchasing Borrower Party shall have been made to all Term
Lenders, so long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii)
the Term Loans purchased are immediately

161

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

cancelled and (iii) no proceeds from any loan under the Revolving Credit
Facility shall be used to fund such assignments. Purchasing Borrower Parties may
not purchase Revolving Loans.
(h)    Upon any contribution of Loans to the Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries and upon any purchase of Loans by a Purchasing Borrower Party, (A)
the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of such
Loans shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrower on the date
of such contribution or purchase (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent,
with respect to a contribution of Loans, any applicable contributing Lender
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and
Assumption, 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 such Loans to the Borrower for immediate cancellation)
and (B) the Administrative Agent shall record such cancellation or retirement in
the Register.
SECTION 9.05    Survival. All covenants, agreements, 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
any 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 Loans and issuance of any Letter of Credit,
regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf
and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, or Lender may
have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or
warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in
full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any
Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding
and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments
have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and
9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect
regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the
repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit
and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision
hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth
in this Agreement, in the event that, in connection with the refinancing or
repayment in full of the credit facilities provided for herein, an Issuing Bank
shall have provided to the Administrative Agent a written consent to the release
of the Revolving Lenders from their obligations hereunder with respect to any
Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (whether as a result of the
obligations of the Borrower (and any other account party) in respect of such
Letter of Credit having been collateralized in full by a deposit of cash with
such Issuing Bank or being supported by a letter of credit that names such
Issuing Bank as the beneficiary thereunder, or otherwise), then from and after
such time such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit”
outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations
in such Letter of Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under Section
2.05(e) or Section 2.05(f).
SECTION 9.06    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other
Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable
to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent or the syndication of the
Loans and Commitments constitute the entire contract among the parties relating
to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except
as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent
shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page
of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.07    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, at any time prior to

162

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Term B-1 Loan Termination Date, any provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or any action taken under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document held to be in violation of Section 10.02(b) of the Existing Credit
Agreement (as set forth in Schedule 9.02) (the “Offending Provision”) shall be
construed to be consistent with the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement as in
effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of this amendment and restatement
without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions hereof; and the Offending Provision may be amended by an agreement in
writing entered into by Parent, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to
cure the underlying violation(s) in any Loan Document.
SECTION 9.08    Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a),
(b), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each
Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the full
extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time
held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such
Lender or such Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower
against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower then due and owing under
this Agreement held by such Lender or Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or
not such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement
and although such obligations are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or
Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or
obligated on such Indebtedness. The applicable Lender and applicable Issuing
Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such setoff and
application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such
notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and application under
this Section. The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank under this Section
are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff)
that such Lender or such Issuing Bank may have. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no amount set off from any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap
Obligation of such Guarantor.
SECTION 9.09    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a)    This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the
law of the State of New York.
(b)    Each of parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits,
for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court
of the State of New York sitting in New York County, Borough of Manhattan and of
the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York sitting in
New York County, Borough of Manhattan and any appellate court from any thereof,

for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any
such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or,
to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties
hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or
in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in any Loan Document shall affect
any right that any Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or
proceeding relating to any Loan Document against Parent, the Borrower or their
respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c)    Each of parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to
the full extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may
now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to any Loan Document in any court referred to in
paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient
forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d)    Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process
in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in any Loan Document
will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any
other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 9.10    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE
FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY

163

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON
CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY
OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK
TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER
PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
SECTION 9.11    Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents
used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this
Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into
consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 9.12    Confidentiality.
(a)    Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks
and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as
defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to their and their
Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees and agents, including
accountants, legal counsel and other agents and advisors (it being understood
that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the
confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential and any failure of such Persons to comply with this Section 9.12
shall constitute a breach of this Section 9.12 by the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, the relevant Issuing Bank, or the relevant Lender, as
applicable), (b) (x) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority,
required by applicable law or by any subpoena or similar legal process or (y)
necessary in connection with the exercise of remedies; provided that, (i) in
each case, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each
Lender and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any request by
any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request
in connection with an examination of the financial condition of such Lender by
such governmental agency or other routine examinations of such Lender by such
governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to
disclosure of such information and (ii) in the case of clause (y) only, each
Lender and the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable best efforts to
ensure that such Information is kept confidential in connection with the
exercise of such remedies, and provided, further, that in no event shall any
Lender or the Administrative Agent be obligated or required to return any
materials furnished by Parent, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, (c) to
any other party to this Agreement, (d) subject to an agreement containing
confidentiality undertakings substantially similar to those of this Section, to
(i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or
Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii)
any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any Swap Agreement
relating to any Loan Party or their Subsidiaries and its obligations under the
Loan Documents, (e) with the consent of the Borrower, in the case of Information
provided by Parent, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary, (f) to the extent such
Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of
this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis
from a source other than Parent or the Borrower or (g) to any ratings agency or
the CUSIP Service Bureau on a confidential basis. In addition, each of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may disclose the
existence of this Agreement and publicly available information about this
Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending
industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with
the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents,
the Commitments and the Borrowings hereunder. For the purposes of this Section,
“Information” means all information received from Parent or the Borrower
relating to Parent, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or their business, other than
any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis
prior to disclosure by Parent or the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(i) any Lender may provide the list of Disqualified Lenders to any potential
assignee or participant on a confidential basis in connection with a bona fide
sale for the purpose of verifying whether such Person is a Disqualified Lender
and (ii) the Administrative Agent is authorized to share the Disqualified Lender
list (and related updates thereto on a confidential basis) with all Lenders (and
the Borrower hereby acknowledges that such Disqualified Lender list is suitable
for distribution to both Public Lenders and non-Public Lenders). Any Person
required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this
Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to

164

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
(b)    EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12(a)
FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC
INFORMATION CONCERNING HOLDINGS, THE BORROWER, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR
RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS
DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC
INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE
SECURITIES LAWS.
(c)    ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS FURNISHED
BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF
ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT, WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY
CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT PARENT, THE BORROWER, THE LOAN
PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY,
EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS
IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE
INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH
ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE
SECURITIES LAWS.
SECTION 9.13    USA Patriot Act. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for
itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Loan Party that
pursuant to the requirements of Title III of the USA Patriot Act, it is required
to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which
information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other
information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Title III of the
USA Patriot Act.
SECTION 9.14    Release of Liens and Guarantees. A Loan Party shall
automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, and all
security interests created by the Security Documents in Collateral owned by
(and, in the case of clause (1) and, upon the request of the Borrower, clause
(2) below, the Equity Interests of) such Subsidiary Loan Party shall be
automatically released, (1) upon the consummation of any transaction permitted
by this Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan Party ceases to be a
Restricted Subsidiary (including pursuant to a merger with a Subsidiary that is
not a Loan Party or a designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary) or (2) upon the
request of the Borrower, in connection with a transaction permitted under this
Agreement, as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan party ceases to be a
wholly-owned Subsidiary. Upon (i) any sale or other transfer by any Loan Party
(other than to Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party) of any Collateral
in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or (ii) the effectiveness of any
written consent to the release of the security interest created under any
Security Document in any Collateral or the release of any Loan Party from its
Guarantee under the Guarantee Agreement pursuant to Section 9.02, the security
interests in such Collateral created by the Security Documents or such guarantee
shall be automatically released. Upon the occurrence of the Termination Date,
all obligations under the Loan Documents and all security interests created by
the Security Documents shall be automatically released. In connection with any
termination or release pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall
execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all
documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this
Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.
The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to release or
subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative
Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien
on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(iv), (viii) or (xxii) to the
extent required by the terms of the obligations secured by such Liens pursuant
to documents reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent). If at any time
Parent ceases to guarantee each of (i) the Existing Senior Unsecured Notes and
(ii) any other material Indebtedness of the Borrower (other than the Loan
Document Obligations) (the foregoing clauses (i) through (ii), the “Applicable
Borrower Indebtedness”), upon request by the Borrower, (x) Parent’s Guarantee of
the

165

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Loan Document Obligations, and the security interest granted in respect thereof,
shall be released (the date on which such release occurs, the “Guarantee Release
Date”), (y) Section 6.07 shall not apply to Parent and (z) Article VII shall not
apply to Parent; provided that, if at any time after the Guarantee Release Date
Parent shall guarantee any Applicable Borrower Indebtedness, the obligations of
Parent under the Guarantee Agreement and under Section 6.07 shall be
automatically reinstated. Parent shall take all actions reasonably necessary in
order to provide the same Guarantee and security interest as would be required
had the Guarantee Release Date never occurred.
SECTION 9.15    No Fiduciary Relationship. Each of Parent and the Borrower, on
behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all
aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in
connection therewith, Parent, the Borrower, the other Subsidiaries and their
Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Lenders and their respective
Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not
create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the
Agents, the Lenders or their respective Affiliates, and no such duty will be
deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or
communications.
SECTION 9.16    Effect of Amendment and Restatement; No Novation; Reaffirmation.
Upon the Effective Date, this Agreement shall amend, and restate as amended, the
Existing Credit Agreement, but shall not constitute a novation thereof or in any
way impair or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of the parties
thereunder (including with respect to Loans and representations and warranties
made thereunder) except as such rights or obligations are amended or modified
hereby. The Existing Credit Agreement as amended and restated hereby shall be
deemed to be a continuing agreement among the parties, and all documents,
instruments and agreements delivered pursuant to or in connection with the
Existing Credit Agreement not amended and restated in connection with the entry
of the parties into this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, each
in accordance with its terms, as of the date of delivery or such other date as
contemplated by such document, instrument or agreement to the same extent as if
the modifications to the Existing Credit Agreement contained herein were set
forth in an amendment to the Existing Credit Agreement in a customary form,
unless such document, instrument or agreement has otherwise been terminated or
has expired in accordance with or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the
Existing Credit Agreement or such document, instrument or agreement or as
otherwise agreed by the required parties hereto or thereto. The Borrower hereby
(a) affirms and confirms its guarantees, pledges, grants and other undertakings
under the Existing Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents to which it is a
party, (b) agrees that (i) each document executed in connection with the
Existing Credit Agreement to which it is a party and not modified in connection
with this Agreement shall continue to be in full force and effect and (ii) all
guarantees, pledges, grants and other undertakings under the Existing Credit
Agreement not modified herein shall continue to be in full force and effect and
shall accrue to the benefit of the Lender, and (c) acknowledges that from and
after the date hereof, all Loans, LC Disbursements and other Loan Document
Obligations from time to time outstanding hereunder shall be deemed to be Loan
Document Obligations of the Borrower.
SECTION 9.17    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial
Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or
in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties,
each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial
Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is
unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA
Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to
be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA
Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be
payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if
applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or
other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent
undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be

166

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other
instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with
respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the
exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution
Authority.
SECTION 9.18    Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that
the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap
Agreement 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.

Schedule 9.02(a)
Section 10.02 of the Existing Credit Agreement
Section 10.02.    Waivers; Amendments.
(a)    No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or
any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder 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 Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Lenders and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Obligor therefrom shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this
Section, 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 Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not
be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender may have had notice or
knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b)    Subject to Section 2.12(a)(ii) and Section 10.02(c) below, neither this
Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower
and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with
the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall
(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such
Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or
reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder,
without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the
scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC
Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce
the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date
of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender
affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.16(c) or (d) in a manner that would
alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written
consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the
definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the
number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights
hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent or waiver hereunder,
without the written consent of each Lender, or (vi) release all or substantially
all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from any of their guarantee obligations under
Article III without the written consent of each Lender (except that no such
consent shall be required, and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, to
release any Subsidiary Guarantor from such obligations that is the subject of a
Disposition permitted hereunder or to which the Required Lenders have consented
or to release any SBG Subsidiary Guarantor from such obligations in accordance
with its removal as a Guarantor hereunder pursuant to Section 6.10); and
provided, further, that (x) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise
affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or
any Swing Line Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Swing Line Lender, as the case
may be, (y) any modification or supplement of Article III shall require the
consent of each Subsidiary Guarantor and (z) to the extent specified in Section
2.01(c), this Agreement may be amended to establish Incremental Loan Commitments
of any Series pursuant to an Incremental Loan Amendment executed between the
Borrower, the relevant Lenders of such Series and the Administrative Agent, and
any such Incremental Loan Amendment shall not require the consent of any other
party to this Agreement.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.02,
any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms
affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the Lenders holding Loans
or Commitments of any Class (but not the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of
any other Class) may only be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by the Borrower and requisite percentage in interest of the
affected Class(es) of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under
this Section 10.02 if such Class(es) of Lenders were the only Class(es) of
Lenders hereunder at the time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.02(b), this Agreement may be
amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required
Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more
additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of
credit from time to time 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 Revolving Loans and the accrued interest
and fees in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders
holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders. In
addition, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant
Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all
outstanding Term Loans of any Class (the “Refinanced Term Loans”) and, if
applicable, related outstanding commitments, 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, (ii) the Applicable
Margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable
Margin for such Refinanced Term Loans, (iii) the weighted average life to
maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted
average life to maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such
refinancing (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where
amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the Refinanced
Term Loans) and (iv) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans
shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing
such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term
Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms
applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Refinanced Term
Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.02,
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, in their sole discretion, may amend,
modify or supplement any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
to amend, modify or supplement such provision or cure any ambiguity, omission,
mistake, error, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment, modification
or supplement does not directly and adversely affect the rights or obligations
of any Lender or Issuing Lender.
Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no waiver or
modification of any provision of this Agreement that has the effect (either
immediately or at some later time) of enabling the Borrower to satisfy a
condition precedent to the making of a Revolving Loan shall be effective against
the Revolving Lenders for purposes of the Revolving Commitments unless the
Required Revolving Lenders shall have concurred with such waiver or
modification.
