 “Consolidated Leverage Ratio” as of any date of determination means the ratio of (a) the aggregate amount of Indebtedness of the
Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of such date of determination to (b) Consolidated Operating Cash Flow for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to such date of determination for which financial information is
available (the “Reference Period”); provided, however, that: 
 (i) if the transaction giving rise to the
need to calculate the Consolidated Leverage Ratio is an Incurrence of Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness shall be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Indebtedness; 
 (ii) if the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary has repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged any Indebtedness that was
outstanding as of the end of such fiscal quarter or if any Indebtedness is to be repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged on the date of the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (other than,
in each case, Indebtedness Incurred under any revolving credit facility), the aggregate amount of Indebtedness shall be calculated on a pro forma basis and Consolidated Operating Cash Flow shall be calculated as if the Borrower or such
Restricted Subsidiary had not earned the interest income, if any, actually earned during the Reference Period in respect of cash or Temporary Cash Investments used to repay, repurchase, defease or otherwise discharge such Indebtedness; 

 

 6 








 (iii) if since the beginning of the Reference Period the Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary shall have made any Asset Disposition, the Consolidated Operating Cash Flow for the Reference Period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated Operating Cash Flow (if positive) directly attributable to the assets that are
the subject of such Asset Disposition for the Reference Period or increased by an amount equal to the Consolidated Operating Cash Flow (if negative) directly attributable thereto for the Reference Period; 
 (iv) if since the beginning of the Reference Period the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (by merger or otherwise) shall have made an
Investment in any Restricted Subsidiary (or any Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary) or an acquisition of assets that constitutes all or substantially all of an operating unit of a business, Consolidated Operating Cash Flow for the Reference
Period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the Incurrence of any Indebtedness) as if such Investment or acquisition had occurred on the first day of the Reference Period; and 
 (v) if since the beginning of the Reference Period any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into
the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such Reference Period) shall have made any Asset Disposition, any Investment or acquisition of assets that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (iii) or
(iv) above if made by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary during the Reference Period, Consolidated Operating Cash Flow for the Reference Period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Asset Disposition,
Investment or acquisition had occurred on the first day of the Reference Period. 
 For purposes of this definition, whenever pro
forma effect is to be given to an acquisition of assets, the amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the amount of Consolidated Interest Expense associated with any Indebtedness Incurred in connection therewith, the pro forma
calculations shall be determined in accordance with GAAP in good faith by a Financial Officer of the Borrower. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall
be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness if such Interest Rate Agreement has a remaining
term in excess of 12 months). If any Indebtedness is Incurred under a revolving credit facility and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated based on the average daily balance of such Indebtedness
for the four fiscal quarters subject to the pro forma calculation to the extent such Indebtedness was Incurred solely for working capital purposes. 
  

 7 








 “Consolidated Net Income” means, for any period, the net income of the Borrower and its
consolidated Subsidiaries; provided, however, that there shall not be included in such Consolidated Net Income: 
 (a) any net
income of any Person (other than the Borrower) if such Person is not a Restricted Subsidiary, except that: 
 (i) subject to
the exclusion contained in clauses (c), (d) and (e) below, the Borrower’s equity in the net income of any such Person for such period shall be included in such Consolidated Net Income up to the aggregate amount of cash actually
distributed by such Person during such period to the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary as a dividend or other distribution (subject, in the case of a dividend or other distribution paid to a Restricted Subsidiary, to the limitations contained in
clause (b) below); and 
 (ii) the Borrower’s equity in a net loss of any such Person for such period shall be
included in determining such Consolidated Net Income to the extent such loss has been funded with cash from the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (b) any net income of any Restricted Subsidiary if such Restricted Subsidiary is subject to restrictions, directly or indirectly, on the payment of dividends or the making of distributions by such Restricted
Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to the Borrower, except that: 
 (i) subject to the exclusion contained in clauses (c),
(d) and (e) below, the Borrower’s equity in the net income of any such Restricted Subsidiary for such period shall be included in such Consolidated Net Income up to the aggregate amount of cash that could have been distributed by such
Restricted Subsidiary during such period to the Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary as a dividend or other distribution (subject, in the case of a dividend or other distribution paid to another Restricted Subsidiary, to the limitation
contained in this clause); and 
 (ii) the Borrower’s equity in a net loss of any such Restricted Subsidiary for such
period shall be included in determining such Consolidated Net Income; 
 (c) any gain (or loss) realized upon the sale or
other disposition of any assets of the Borrower or its consolidated Subsidiaries (including pursuant to any Sale/Leaseback Transaction) that is not sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business and any gain (or loss) realized upon
the sale or other disposition of any Capital Stock of any Person; 
 (d) extraordinary gains or losses; and

opinions with respect to, particular assets of the Loan Parties if and for so long as, in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Agent, the cost (including the burden of compliance with applicable law) of creating or perfecting such pledges or
security interests in such assets or obtaining title insurance or legal opinions with respect of such assets shall be excessive in view of the benefits to be obtained by the Lenders therefrom. Without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent
agrees that it shall not request Capital Stock of any Foreign Subsidiary be pledged pursuant to a Foreign Pledge Agreement unless the Borrower consents thereto (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, taking into account the benefits to be
afforded by such Foreign Pledge Agreement to the ability of the Collateral Agent to exercise its rights under, or otherwise enforce, the Liens granted to it on such Capital Stock pursuant to the Security Documents in relation to the cost of
preparation of such Foreign Pledge Agreement). The Collateral Agent may grant extensions of time for the perfection of security interests in or the obtaining of title insurance or legal opinions with respect to particular assets (including
extensions beyond the date of this Agreement) where it determines that such action cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required by this Agreement or the Security Documents.

 (b) Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan
(and in the case of an Affiliate, the provisions of Sections 2.15 and 2.16 shall apply to such Affiliate to the same extent as to such Lender); provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to
repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

borrowing of Term Loans or Purchase Money Loans, as the case may be, on the date hereof, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone not later than 8:30 a.m., New York City time, on the date hereof. Such

the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Term Loan or Purchase Money Loan, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 2.04. Funding of Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder by wire transfer of immediately available funds
by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in the manner provided below. 
 (b) 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 previously identified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent. 
 (c) Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date on which a Loan is to be made available to the Borrower that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of any Loan to be
made hereunder, 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 upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand
such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the
rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate then applicable to the subject Loan. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative
Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan. 
 SECTION 2.05. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the applicable Lenders the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Maturity Date.

(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 accounts of the
Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
  

 37 








 (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 repay the subject Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it to the Borrower be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, 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 approved by the Administrative Agent (it being understood and agreed that any such note shall have an “OID legend”). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by each
such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such
promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 
 SECTION 2.06. Amortization of Loans. (a)
Subject to adjustment for prepayments as set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section, the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders, the Loans commencing on March 31, 2010, such repayment to be

aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding on January 1, 2010 and (ii) after December 31, 2011, 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding on January 1, 2012. To the extent not previously repaid, all
Loans shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. 
 (b) Any prepayment of a Loan pursuant to Section 2.07 shall be
applied to reduce subsequent scheduled repayments of the Loans to be made pursuant to this Section in the manner directed by the Borrower.

2009, the Call Premium on the principal amount prepaid. Any optional prepayment of the Loans shall be allocated by the Borrower between the Term Loans and the Purchase Money Loans as directed by the Borrower in the notice delivered to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.07(c) with respect to such prepayment. 
 (b) In the event and on each
occasion that any Net Available Cash is received by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, on the day such Net Available Cash is received 

  

 38 








 
(or, in the case of a Prepayment Event described in clause (a) or (b) of the definition of “Prepayment Event”, within three Business Days
after such Net Available Cash is received) apply the portion of the Net Available Cash from such Prepayment Event that is not required to be applied to prepay the loans outstanding under the Senior Secured Term Credit Agreement pursuant to section
2.07(b) thereof to the prepayment of the Loans hereunder, provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to the extent any mandatory prepayments under the Senior Secured Term Credit Agreement are waived by lenders thereunder in respect of
any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall be required to make the applicable mandatory prepayments under this Section 2.07(b) with 100% of the amount of Net Available Cash received in connection with such Prepayment Event. The Borrower shall, to
the fullest extent possible under Section 2.07(b)(ii) of the Senior Secured Term Credit Agreement, apply Net Available Cash received in connection with any Prepayment Event to the prepayment of the Loans hereunder. 
 (c) Prior to any prepayment of Loans under this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by
facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder not later than 12:00 noon, 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 Loans to be
prepaid; provided that a notice of prepayment of the Loans may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other financings or the occurrence of the Prepayment Event with respect to which such notice is made, 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) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise
the Lenders of the contents thereof. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid.

Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than one Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Purchase Money Loan Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Purchase Money Loan Commitments. Any

upon the termination of the Investment Agreement pursuant to Section 4.6(c) being consummated and shall state: (i) the proposed date of such prepayment (which shall be no earlier than five Business Days and no later than 10 Business Days
from the date of such prepayment offer), (ii) the prepayment price (which, with respect to each Lender, shall be calculated as the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loans made by such Lender plus the Call Premium
and (B) all accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of prepayment), (iii) that each Lender that accepts such offer must accept such offer with respect to all (but not part) of its Loans, and (iv) that each
Lender must accept such offer by delivering notice of such acceptance to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after the date on which the Borrower makes its offer to the Lenders (the “Offer Period”). 
  

 39 








 (b) The Borrower shall comply with the terms of each such prepayment offer. Each Lender
shall have the right to accept such offer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period. 
 (c) The Commitments of each Lender
that accepts a prepayment offer in accordance with this Section shall terminate in their entirety on the date such Lender’s Loans are repaid. 
 SECTION 2.09. Termination of Commitments. The Term Loan Commitments shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the borrowing of the Term Loans on the date hereof and (b) 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date hereof.

 SECTION 2.11. Interest. (a) The Term Loans and the Purchase Money Loans each shall bear interest at 15.0% per annum. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid
when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2.0% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as
provided in the preceding paragraph of this Section. 
 (c) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each
Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall be payable on demand and (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal
amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment.

 SECTION 2.13. [RESERVED]. 
 SECTION 2.14. [RESERVED]. 
 SECTION 2.15. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or
on account of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or
the applicable Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted
to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other
Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 15 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any
payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties,
interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of
such payment or liability setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances giving rise thereto and the calculations used by such Lender to determine the amount thereof 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 the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such
payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
  

 41 








 (e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at
the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and duly executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced
rate. Without limiting the foregoing, in the case of a Foreign Lender that is claiming exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” such
Foreign Lender shall also deliver a properly completed and duly executed certificate representing that such Foreign Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not a 10% shareholder of the Borrower (within the
meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code) and is not a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code). 
 (f) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received 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 2.15, 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 2.15 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses 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). This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns
(or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 
 SECTION 2.16.
Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or of amounts payable under
Section 2.15, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time) on the date when due, in immediately available
funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest
thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the account specified by the Administrative Agent for such purpose in a notice delivered to the Borrower; provided that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15 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 Lender or
other Person promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder 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, and, in the case of any payment accruing
interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of principal or interest in respect of any Loan shall be made in US Dollars. 
  

 42 








 (b) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other
Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans 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 their respective Loans and accrued interest thereon; 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 any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance
with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof
(as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). 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 set-off 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. 
 (c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due for the
account of all or certain of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the
amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent
in accordance with banking industry practices on interbank compensation. 
 (d) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment
required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent
for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to the Administrative Agent until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
  

 43 








 SECTION 2.17. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) 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 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its
Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to
Section 2.15 in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable, direct, out-of-pocket costs
and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

substance to the Administrative Agent, that names the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as the loss payee thereunder and (c) provide for at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of such policy,
provided that, with respect to clause (b) above, the terms of the loss payable clause or endorsement satisfactory to the “Administrative Agent” (as defined under the Senior Secured Term Credit Agreement) shall be deemed to be
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to the extent that they apply mutatis mutandis to the Administrative Agent.

Party’s identity or corporate structure or (iv) in any Loan Party’s Federal Taxpayer Identification Number. The Borrower agrees not to effect or permit any change referred to in the preceding sentence unless all filings have been or
are concurrently made under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise that are required in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected security interest in all the Collateral. The
Borrower also agrees promptly to notify the Administrative Agent if any material portion of the Collateral is damaged or destroyed. 
 (b) Each year, at the time of delivery of annual financial statements with respect to the preceding fiscal year pursuant to Section 5.01(a), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer

Effective Date or the date of the most recent certificate delivered pursuant to this Section. 
 SECTION 5.10. Use of Proceeds. The
Borrower will use the proceeds of Loans only for the purposes referred to in the recitals to this Agreement. No part of the proceeds of any Loans will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of any of the
regulations of the Board of Governors, including Regulations U and X. 
 SECTION 5.11. Additional Subsidiaries. If any additional
Restricted Subsidiary is formed or acquired after the Effective Date, or any Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated as a Restricted Subsidiary, or any Restricted Subsidiary becomes a Material Subsidiary, the Borrower will, in each case promptly after
such event, notify the Administrative Agent thereof and cause the Term Loan Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and Purchase Money Collateral and Guarantee Requirements to be satisfied with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary (other than any such
Subsidiary that is not a Material Subsidiary) and with respect to any Capital Stock in (if such Subsidiary is a Material Subsidiary) or Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary owned by or on behalf of any Loan Party. 
 SECTION 5.12. Further Assurances. (a) The Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, execute and deliver, or to cause to be executed

and other documents), (i) that may be required under any applicable law or regulation to cause the Term Loan Collateral and Guarantee Requirement or Purchase Money Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, as the case may be, to be and remain
satisfied at all times or (ii) that any Agent may reasonably request for purposes of implementing or effectuating the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or of more fully perfecting or renewing the rights of the
Collateral Agent in the Collateral or ensuring the priority of the Liens securing the Obligations, all at the expense of the Loan Parties. Upon the exercise, at any time that an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, by any Agent of
any power, right, privilege or remedy pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that 

  

 56 








 
requires any consent, approval, recording, qualification or authorization of any Governmental Authority or any other Person, the Borrower will, and will
cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to, execute and deliver, or will cause the execution and delivery of, all applications, certifications, agreements, instruments and other documents that such Agent may reasonably request from the Borrower or any
Restricted Subsidiary in connection therewith. 
 (b) If any material assets (including any real property that constitutes a
Mortgaged Property or improvements thereto or any interest therein) are acquired by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor after the Effective Date (other than assets constituting Collateral under the Term Loan Collateral Agreement that become
subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agreement upon acquisition thereof), the Borrower will promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will cause such assets to be subjected to a
Lien securing the Obligations and will take, and cause the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions described
in paragraph (a) of this Section, all at the expense of the Loan Parties. 
 (c) As promptly as practicable, and in any
event within 5 days, after the Effective Date, the Borrower will, or will cause the applicable Subsidiary Guarantors to, deliver all Mortgages would have been required to be delivered on the Effective Date but for the proviso set forth in
Section 4.02(b), in each case except to the extent otherwise agreed to by the Collateral Agent pursuant to its authority set forth in the definition of the term “Term Loan Collateral and Guarantee Requirement”.

acquired by it that does not constitute Collateral, the Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, execute and deliver, or to cause to be executed and delivered, any and all further documents, certificates, agreements and instruments, and
take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of trust and other documents), (i) that may be required under any applicable law or regulation
to subject such property or assets to the security interest created under the Security Documents and cause the Term Loan Collateral and Guarantee Requirement or Purchase Money Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, as the case may be, to be and
remain satisfied at all times with respect to such property or assets or (ii) that any Agent may reasonably request for purposes of implementing or effectuating the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or of more fully
perfecting or renewing the rights of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral or ensuring the priority of the Liens securing the Obligations, all at the expense of the Loan Parties.

than 6.00 to 1. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph (a), the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall be
entitled to Incur any or all of the following Indebtedness:

 (i) at the time of entering into such
Asset Swap and immediately after giving effect to such Asset Swap, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof; 
 (ii) in the event such Asset Swap involves the transfer by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of assets having an aggregate fair
market value, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Borrower in good faith, in excess of $10,000,000, the terms of such Asset Swap have been approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Borrower; and 
 (iii) in the event such Asset Swap involves the transfer by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of assets having an aggregate fair
market value, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Borrower in good faith, in excess of $50,000,000, the Borrower has received a written opinion from an independent investment banking firm of nationally recognized standing that such Asset

 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not permit XM or any of its
subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Disposition or to engage in any Asset Swaps prior to the Phase II Funding Date. In addition, the Borrower shall not sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares of Capital
Stock of XM (other than directors’ qualifying shares or shares required by applicable law to be held by a Person other than the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary) prior to the Phase II Funding Date to any Person (other than a Wholly Owned
Subsidiary that is a Restricted Subsidiary). 
 SECTION 6.05. Limitation on Affiliate Transactions. (a) The Borrower shall not,
and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into or permit to exist any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property, employee compensation arrangements or the rendering of any service) with, or for the
benefit of, any Affiliate of the Borrower (an “Affiliate Transaction”) unless: 
 (i) the terms of the
Affiliate Transaction are no less favorable to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that could be obtained at the time of the Affiliate Transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a Person who is not an Affiliate; 
 (ii) if such Affiliate Transaction involves an amount in excess of $5,000,000, the terms of the Affiliate Transaction are set forth in
writing and a majority of the non-employee directors of the Borrower disinterested with respect to such Affiliate Transaction have determined in good faith that the criteria set forth in clause (i) are satisfied and have approved the relevant
Affiliate Transaction as evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors; and 
 (iii) if such Affiliate Transaction
involves an amount in excess of $20,000,000, the Board of Directors shall also have received a written opinion from an Independent Qualified Party to the effect that such Affiliate Transaction is fair, from a financial standpoint, to the Borrower
and its Restricted Subsidiaries or is not less favorable to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries than could reasonably be expected to be obtained at the time in an arm’s-length transaction with a Person who was not an Affiliate.

 (b) The provisions of the preceding paragraph (a) shall not prohibit: 
 (i) any Investment (other than a Permitted Investment) or other Restricted Payment, in each case permitted to be made pursuant to (but

 68

 (iv) the payment of reasonable and customary fees to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, directors of the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries who are not employees of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (v) any transaction with the Borrower, a
Restricted Subsidiary or joint venture or similar entity which would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls such Restricted Subsidiary, joint
venture or similar entity; 
 (vi) the issuance or sale of any Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Borrower;

 (vii) transactions contemplated or required by the Investment Agreement; 
 (viii) any agreement set forth on Schedule 6.05(b)(viii), as these agreements may be amended, modified, supplemented, extended or
renewed from time to time (so long as any amendment, modification, supplement, extension or renewal is not less favorable to the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiaries), and the transactions evidenced thereby; and 
 (ix) a Borrower-Holdings Merger or a Borrower-XM Merger. 
 SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Line of Business. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, to engage in any business other than a Related Business. 
 SECTION 6.07. Limitation on the Sale or Issuance of Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower: 
 (a) shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Capital Stock of any

 (b) shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any of its Capital Stock (other than, if necessary, shares of its Capital Stock constituting directors’ or other legally required qualifying shares) to any Person (other than to
the Borrower or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary that is a Restricted Subsidiary), unless 
 (i) immediately after giving effect to
such issuance, sale or other disposition, neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries own any Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary; 
  

 69 








 (ii) such issuance, sale or other disposition is treated as an Asset Disposition and
immediately after giving effect to such issuance, sale or other disposition, such Restricted Subsidiary would continue to be a Restricted Subsidiary; or 
 (iii) immediately after giving effect to such issuance, sale or other disposition, such Restricted Subsidiary would no longer constitute a Restricted Subsidiary and any Investment in such Person remaining after giving
effect thereto is treated as a new Investment by the Borrower and such Investment would be permitted to be made under Section 6.02 if made on the date of such issuance, sale or other disposition. 
 (c) For purposes of this Section 6.07, the creation of a Lien on any Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary to secure Indebtedness
of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be deemed to be subject to this Section 6.07; provided, however, that any sale or other disposition by the secured party of such Capital Stock following foreclosure of its Lien will
be subject to this Section 6.07. 
 (d) Prior to the Phase II Funding Date, the Borrower shall not permit XM to issue any
of its Capital Stock (other than, if necessary, shares of its Capital Stock constituting director’s stock or other legally required qualifying shares) to any Person (other than to the Borrower or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower).

 SECTION 6.08. Limitations on Liens. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create,

Documents and (b) the Permitted Liens. 
 SECTION 6.09. Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions. The Borrower shall not, and

Lien on such property securing such Attributable Debt pursuant to Section 6.08; 
 (2) the net proceeds received by the
Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Sale/Leaseback Transaction are at least equal to the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of such property; and 
 (3) the Borrower applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with Section 2.07. 
  

 70 








 SECTION 6.10. Fundamental Changes. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, merge into or consolidate with any other Person, or permit any other Person to merge into or consolidate with it, or liquidate or dissolve, except that, if at the time thereof and immediately after giving effect thereto no Default
shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom (a) any Person may merge into any Restricted Subsidiary in a transaction in which the surviving entity is a Subsidiary and (if any party to such merger is a Subsidiary Guarantor)
is a Subsidiary Guarantor, (b) any Restricted Subsidiary may liquidate or dissolve into another Restricted Subsidiary if the Borrower determines in good faith that such liquidation or dissolution is in the best interests of the Borrower and is
not materially disadvantageous to the Lenders, (c) a Borrower-Holdings Merger or a Borrower-XM Merger and (d) any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor) may merge with and into the Borrower to form a parent
entity of the Borrower so long as the Borrower is the surviving corporation; provided that any such merger involving a Person that is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary immediately prior to such merger shall not be permitted unless also permitted by
Section 6.02; provided further that in the case of any Borrower – Holdings Merger or Borrower – XM Merger, (i) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company” shall be a Person organized and
existing under the laws of the United State of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and (ii) the Successor Company (if not the Borrower) shall (A) expressly assume the Borrower’s Obligations in respect of the Loans
and the Borrower’s Obligations and the Borrower’s covenants under the Loan Documents to which it is or is to be a party in a writing satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent and (B) take or have taken all action
to satisfy the Purchase Money Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and the Term Loan Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and take or have taken such other action as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
request, in order to preserve the Liens, and continue the perfection thereof with the same priority, as granted and provided for or purported to be granted and provided for by the Security Documents. 
 SECTION 6.11. Activities of the FCC Licenses Subsidiaries. The Borrower shall not permit any FCC Licenses Subsidiary (a) to conduct any
business operations other than the ownership of the FCC Licenses and activities incidental thereto, (b) to own or acquire any assets other than the FCC Licenses and assets that are incidental to its existence and permitted activities and
(c) to Incur any Indebtedness other than (i) the Obligations, (ii) Guarantees of Indebtedness under the Loral Credit Agreement, and of Refinancing Indebtedness with respect thereto permitted by Section 6.01(b)(vii), in an
aggregate amount not to exceed $100,000,000 at any time, and (iii) Guarantees of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to Section 6.01(b)(i), in an aggregate amount not to exceed $250,000,000 at any time. The Borrower will cause all FCC Licenses
at all times to be held in the name of a FCC Licenses Subsidiary that is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary whose Capital Stock has been pledged in accordance with the provision of the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, and will cause such FCC Licenses
Subsidiaries to be the sole legal and beneficial owners thereof; provided, however, that the Specified FCC Licenses and any authorizations to operate terrestrial repeaters may be held in the name of the Borrower, with the Borrower being the sole
legal and beneficial owner thereof. 
 SECTION 6.12. Hedging Agreements. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, enter into any Hedging Agreement, other than Hedging Agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business to hedge or mitigate risks to which the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is exposed in the conduct of its business or
the management of its liabilities. 
  

 71 








 SECTION 6.13. Amendments to Senior Secured Term Credit Agreement. The Borrower shall not agree to
any material amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification to (i) at any time, Articles III, V, VI or VII of the Senior Secured Term Credit Agreement or any other provision thereof containing representations and warranties, covenants
or events of default, (ii) if and only if the Phase II Funding Date shall not have occurred on or prior to December 31, 2009, Article II of the Senior Secured Term Credit Agreement or any other provision thereof relating to economic terms,
(any material amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification described in clauses (i) and (ii), a “Specified Change”), in each case, without, simultaneously with any such Specified Change, agreeing to make
corresponding changes to this Agreement, provided that any corresponding change to a Specified Change described in clause (ii) only shall become effective after December 31, 2009 and shall apply solely on a going forward basis.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.13 shall prevent the Borrower from agreeing to any Specified Change if the “Lenders” or “Required Lenders” (in each case as defined in the Senior Secured Term Credit
Agreement) have approved such Specified Change and the Required Lenders have not approved such Specified Change in accordance with Section 9.02(b). 
 ARTICLE VII 
 Events of Default 
 If any of the following events (“Events of Default”) shall occur and be continuing:

 (4) the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall fail to perform or observe any other
covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document on its part to be performed or observed (other than those failures or breaches referred to in clauses (1), (2) and (3) above), and such failure shall
remain unremedied for 30 days after written notice thereof has been given to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders; 
 (5) any event or condition occurs that results in any Material Indebtedness becoming due prior to its scheduled maturity or that enables or permits (with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time or both) 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; provided that this clause (e) shall not apply to Secured Indebtedness that becomes due as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer, or the casualty or condemnation, of the property or assets securing such Indebtedness; 

(6) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary petition shall be filed seeking (i) liquidation, reorganization

receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary or for a substantial part of its assets, (iv) file an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against
it in any such proceeding, (v) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or (vi) take any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing; 
 (8) the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary shall become unable, admit in writing its inability or fail generally to pay its debts as they
become due; 
 (9) one or more judgments for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of $25,000,000 (net of any
amounts with respect to which a reputable and creditworthy insurance company has acknowledged liability in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) shall be rendered against the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any combination
thereof and the same 

  

 73 








 
shall remain undischarged for a period of 60 consecutive days during which execution shall not be effectively stayed, or any action shall be legally taken by
a judgment creditor to attach or levy upon any material assets of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to enforce any such judgment; 
 (10) an ERISA Event shall have occurred that, when taken together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred, could reasonably be expected to result in liability of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in
an aggregate amount exceeding $25,000,000; 
 (11) any Lien purported to be created under any Security Document shall cease to
be, or shall be asserted by any Loan Party not to be, a valid and perfected Lien on any material portion of the Collateral, with the priority required by the applicable Security Document, except (i) as a result of the sale or other disposition
of the applicable Collateral in a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents or (ii) as a result of the Collateral Agent’s failure to maintain possession of any stock certificates, promissory notes or other instruments delivered to it
under the Term Loan Collateral Agreement; or 
 (12) a Change of Control shall have occurred; 
 then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower described in clause (6) or (7) of this Article), and at any time thereafter
during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) declare the
unused Commitments of each Lender and the obligation of each Lender to make Loans hereunder to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part,
in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and
other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; and in case of any event with respect to
the Borrower described in clause (f) or (g) of this Article, the Commitments of each Lender and the obligation of each Lender to make Loans hereunder shall automatically be terminated and the principal of the Loans then outstanding,
together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived
by the Borrower. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 The Administrative Agent 
 Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Agents as its agents and authorizes the
Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to them by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 
  

 74 








 The entity serving as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall have the same rights and
powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, and entity and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in
any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. 
 The Agents shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Agents shall not be subject to any fiduciary
or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers that,
under the terms of the Loan Documents, such Agent is required to exercise as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances, as provided in Section 9.02), and
(c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Agents shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is
communicated to or obtained by the entity serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default
unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and neither Agent shall 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, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in
Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. 
 Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed
or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Agents may consult with legal
counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by them, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by them in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

  

 75 








 Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or
more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through its respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to
any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agents and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as well as activities as an Agent.

 Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may
resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower, to appoint a successor; provided that such consent of the Borrower shall not be
required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such appointment. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring
Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Borrower, provided that such consent of the Borrower shall
not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such appointment) which shall be a financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Borrower and such
successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 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 it was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Administrative
Agent shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower, to appoint a successor; provided that such consent of the Borrower shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such appointment. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Collateral 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 it was acting as Collateral Agent. 
 Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon either Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon either Agent or any 

  

 76 








 
other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not
taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right
or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent 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 (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 
  

 77 








 
generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any
Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

any provision hereof or thereof 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 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 any Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon without the
written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (iii) postpone the maturity of any Loan, or any date of any scheduled payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any date for payment of any interest thereon, 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(b) or 2.16(c) in a manner that would alter the

of its rights in connection with any Loan Document, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder. 
 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and 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 related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any
Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee 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 hereby, 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 hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged
presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any Mortgaged Property or any other property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a
party thereto and whether or not such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or a third party; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee. 
 (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or any of its Related
Parties under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent 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 loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or such Related Party) in its capacity as such. For
purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum (without duplication) of the total Loans at the time. 
 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any
theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e) All amounts due under this
Section shall be payable promptly after written demand thereof. 
  

 79 








 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, except that (i) the Borrower 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) and (ii) 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 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the
Related Parties of each of the Agents and the Lenders), any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion
of the Loans at the time owing to it); with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 
 (i) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for (A) any assignment after the first anniversary of the date hereof, (B) an assignment to a
Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, a Liberty Party or an Approved Fund (as defined below), or (C) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (ii) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; 
 (iii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining
amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans (which remaining amount shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this clause, the aggregate amount of Loans held by any Affiliate of the assigning Lender), the amount of the Loans of the assigning
Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent otherwise consents, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required (x) in connection with assignments by Liberty, in its capacity as the initial Lender, during the 30-day period following the Effective Date,
provided that Liberty shall provide to the Borrower the name of the assignee prior to the effectiveness of such assignments, and (y) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 
  

 80 








 (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; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and 
 (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain
material non-public information about the Borrower, the Subsidiaries 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. 
 For purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved
Fund” has the following meaning: 
 “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in
making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an
entity that administers or manages a Lender. 
 (c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to
paragraph (b)(iv) 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 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 Sections 2.15 and 9.03).
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 (f) of this Section. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing
to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, each Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from
time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
  

 81 








 (e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section, if
applicable, 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. 
 (f) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible
to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement; 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(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (g) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15 and 9.08 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and
had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16(b) as though it were a Lender. 
 (g) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13 or 2.15 than the applicable Lender would
have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender
if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with
Section 2.15(e) as though it were a Lender. 
 (h) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all
or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or, in the case of a Lender that is an investment fund, to the trustee under
the indenture to which such fund is a party, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or 

  

 82 








 
assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants,
agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties herein or in any other Loan Document or in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be
considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto or thereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and any other Loan Document and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other
party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any 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 or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or
terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 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 Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof. 
 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, the Fee Letter and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent 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 Article IV, 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 which, 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 transmission 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. 
 SECTION
9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Agent, each Lender and each of their Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set
off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final and in whatever currency denominated) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Agent, Lender or 
  

 83 








 
Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any overdue obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement
held by such Agent or Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement. The rights of each Agent and Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including
other rights of setoff) which such Agent or Lender may have. 
 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) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States
District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the
parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection
which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 
 SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (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 
  

 84 








 
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. The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined
below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) on a need-to-know basis, to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (iii) to the extent
required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party to this Agreement, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in,
or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its
obligations, (vi) with the consent of the Borrower or (viii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or
any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any
such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be
considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
 (a) EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12 FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL
NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS 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. 
  

 85 








 (b) 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 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. Release of Subsidiary Guarantors and Collateral. (a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein or in any other Loan Document, if the Borrower shall request the release under any Collateral Agreement or any
other Security Document of any Restricted Subsidiary or any Collateral to be sold or otherwise disposed of (including through the sale or disposition of any Restricted Subsidiary owning any such Subsidiary or Collateral) to a Person other than the
Borrower or a Subsidiary in a transaction permitted under the terms of this Agreement and shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate to the effect that such sale or other disposition and the application of the proceeds thereof will comply
with the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent, if satisfied that the applicable certificate is correct, shall, without the consent of any Lender, execute and deliver all such instruments, releases, financing statements or other agreements,
and take all such further actions, as shall be necessary to effectuate the release of such Subsidiary or such Collateral substantially simultaneously with or at any time after the completion of such sale or other disposition. Any such release shall
be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Collateral Agent and shall not require the consent of any Lender. The Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver all such instruments, releases, financing statements or other agreements,
and take all such further actions, as shall be necessary to effectuate the release of Collateral required by this paragraph. 
 (b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 9.03, the Borrower shall reimburse each Agent for all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by it in connection with any action contemplated by
this Section. 
 SECTION 9.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA
PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in
accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. The Borrower shall promptly, following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender reasonably requests in
order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act. 
 SECTION 9.15. Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the Lenders and the other Secured Parties would
not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that Section 5.12(a) of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that 
  

 86 








 
the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of such Section by the Borrower and
to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of such Section in any court referred to in Section 9.09(b), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any
defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense that might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance referred to in the immediately preceding sentence that may be brought by the Administrative Agent or the Required
Lenders. 
 SECTION 9.16. OID Legend. The Loans have been issued with original issue discount (“OID”) for purposes of
sections 1271 et seq. of the Code. For information regarding the issue price, the yield to maturity, the amount of OID per $1,000 of principal amount and, if applicable, the comparable yield and projected payment, please contact the Borrower at the
