Adjusted Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time (after giving effect to any changes thereto on such date); and 
  
 (v) shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding the Maximum Swingline Amount. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 1.01(c), (i) CSFB shall not be obligated
to make any Swingline Loans at a time when a Lender Default exists unless CSFB has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate CSFB’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’
participation in such Swingline Loans, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ RL Percentage of the outstanding Swingline Loans and (ii) CSFB will not make a Swingline Loan after it has received
written notice from the Borrower or the Required Lenders stating that a Default or an Event of Default exists until such time as CSFB shall have received a written notice of (x) rescission of such notice from the party or parties originally
delivering the same or (y) a waiver of such Default or Event of Default from the Required Lenders. 
  
 (d) On any Business Day, CSFB may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the RL Lenders that its outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with a
Borrowing of Revolving Loans (provided that each such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 10.05 or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in
the last paragraph of Section 10), in which case a Borrowing of Revolving Loans constituting Base Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all RL Lenders
pro rata based on each RL Lender’s Adjusted RL Percentage (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 10), and the proceeds thereof shall be
applied directly to repay CSFB for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each RL Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make Revolving Loans upon one Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified


  

 -3- 








 
in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing by CSFB notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the
Minimum Borrowing Amount otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 5 or 6 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (iv) the date of such Mandatory
Borrowing and (v) the amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, the Adjusted Total Revolving Loan Commitment or the Revolving Loan Commitment of such RL Lender at such time. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be
made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower), then each RL Lender (other than CSFB) hereby agrees that it shall
forthwith purchase from CSFB (without recourse or warranty) such assignment of the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the RL Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective Adjusted RL Percentages
(determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 10), provided that (x) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of CSFB until the date the
respective assignment is purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased assignment, shall be payable to the RL Lender purchasing same from and after such date of purchase (or, if earlier, from the date on which the Mandatory Borrowing
would otherwise have occurred, so long as the payments required by the following clause (y) have in fact been made) and (y) at the time any purchase of assignments pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing RL Lender shall be
required to pay CSFB interest on the principal amount of assignment purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such assignment, at the
rate otherwise applicable to Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans hereunder for each day thereafter. 
  
 1.02 Minimum Borrowing Amounts, etc. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Loans shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount
applicable to such Loans, provided that Mandatory Borrowings shall be made in the amounts required by Section 1.01(d). More than one Borrowing may be incurred on any day, provided, that at no time shall there be outstanding more than
nine Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans. 
  
 1.03 Notice of
Borrowing. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires to make a Borrowing of Loans hereunder (excluding Borrowings of Swingline Loans and Mandatory Borrowings), an Authorized Officer of the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at its Notice
Office, prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time), at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, and at least one Business Day’s prior written
notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be made hereunder. Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 1.10,
be irrevocable, and, in the case of each written notice and each confirmation of telephonic notice, shall be in the form of Exhibit A-1, appropriately completed to specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such
Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) whether the respective Borrowing shall consist of Term Loans or Revolving Loans, (iv) whether the respective Borrowing shall consist of Base Rate Loans or, to the
extent permitted hereunder, Eurodollar Loans and, if Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto, (v) the account of the Borrower to which the 

  

 -4- 








 
proceeds of the respective Borrowing of Loans shall be disbursed, and (vi) in the case of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans the proceeds of which are to be
utilized to finance, in whole or in part, the purchase price of a Permitted Acquisition, (x) a reference to the officer’s certificate, if any, delivered in accordance with Section 8.15, (y) the aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Loans
to be utilized in connection with such Permitted Acquisition and (z) the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect after giving effect to the respective Permitted Acquisition (and all payments to be made in connection therewith). The
Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender which is required to make Loans of the Tranche specified in the respective Notice of Borrowing, written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Borrowing, of
such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing. 
  
 (b) (i) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, an Authorized Officer of the Borrower shall give
CSFB not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York time) on the day such Swingline Loan is to be made, written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Swingline Loan to be made hereunder. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and
shall specify in each case (x) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (y) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loan to be made pursuant to such Borrowing. 
  
 (ii) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice (or deemed notice)
specified in Section 1.01(d), with the Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in such Section 1.01(d). 
  
 (c) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be
given hereunder, the Administrative Agent or CSFB (in the case of a Borrowing of Swingline Loans) or the respective Letter of Credit Issuer (in the case of the issuance of Letters of Credit), as the case may be, may prior to receipt of written
confirmation act without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice, believed by the Administrative Agent, CSFB or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower. In each such
case, the Administrative Agent’s, CSFB’s or the respective Letter of Credit Issuer’s, as the case may be, record of the terms of such telephonic notice shall be conclusive evidence of the contents of such notice, absent manifest
error. 
  
 1.04 Disbursement of Funds. Not later than 1:00
P.M. (New York time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (or (x) in the case of Swingline Loans, not later than 3:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date specified in Section 1.03(b)(i) or (y) in the case of Mandatory Borrowings, not later
than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date specified in Section 1.01(d)), each Lender with a Commitment under the respective Tranche will make available its pro rata share (determined in accordance with Section 1.07), if any, of each
Borrowing requested to be made on such date (or in the case of Swingline Loans, CSFB shall make available the full amount thereof) in the manner provided below. All amounts shall be made available to the Administrative Agent in U.S. Dollars and in
immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and the Administrative Agent promptly will make available to the Borrower at its account specified in the respective notice of borrowing for a given Borrowing of Loans (or 

  

 -5- 








 
to CSFB, in the case of a Mandatory Borrowing) the aggregate of the amounts so made available in the type of funds received. Unless the Administrative Agent
shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may
assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make
available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made available same to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such
corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum
equal to (x) if paid by such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate (or, if the corresponding amount has not been recovered by the Administrative Agent from such Lender within three Business Days after the date such corresponding amount was made
available by the Administrative Agent, commencing after such third Business Day, the Base Rate) or (y) if paid by the Borrower, the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 1.08. 
  
 1.05 Notes. (a) The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal
of, and interest on, all the Loans made to it by each Lender shall be set forth on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.17 and, subject to the provisions of Section 1.05(f), shall be evidenced (i) if Term Loans,
by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Term Note” and, collectively, the “Term Notes”), (ii) if Revolving Loans, by a
promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Notes”) and (iii) if Swingline Loans,
by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (the “Swingline Note”). 
  
 (b) The Term Note issued to each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment and/or outstanding Term Loans shall (i) be executed by
the Borrower, (ii) be payable to such Lender or its registered assigns and be dated the Initial Borrowing Date (or, in the case of any Term Note issued after the Initial Borrowing Date, the date of issuance thereof), (iii) be in a stated principal
amount equal to the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender on the Initial Borrowing Date (or, in the case of any Term Note issued after the Initial Borrowing Date, in a stated principal amount equal to the sum of the Term Loan Commitment and the
outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan of such Lender on the date of the issuance thereof) and be payable in the principal amount of Term Loans evidenced thereby from time to time, (iv) mature on the Term Loan Maturity Date, (v) bear interest
as provided in the appropriate clause of Section 1.08 in respect of the Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans, as the case may be, evidenced thereby, (vi) be subject to voluntary repayment as provided in Section 4.01 and mandatory repayment as
provided in Section 4.02 and (vii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. 
  

 -6- 








 (c) The Revolving Note issued to each RL Lender shall (i) be executed by the Borrower, (ii) be payable to
such RL Lender or its registered assigns and be dated the Initial Borrowing Date (or, in the case of any Revolving Note issued after the Initial Borrowing Date, the date of issuance thereof), (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the
Revolving Loan Commitment of such RL Lender and be payable in the principal amount of the outstanding Revolving Loans evidenced thereby, (iv) mature on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, (v) bear interest as provided in the appropriate clause of
Section 1.08 in respect of the Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans, as the case may be, evidenced thereby, (vi) be subject to voluntary prepayment as provided in Section 4.01 and mandatory repayment as provided in Section 4.02 and (vii) be entitled
to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. 
  
 (d) The Swingline Note issued to CSFB shall (i) be executed by the Borrower, (ii) be payable to CSFB or its registered assigns and be dated the Initial Borrowing Date (or, in the event the Swingline Note is issued after the Initial
Borrowing Date, the date of issuance thereof), (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the Maximum Swingline Amount and be payable in the principal amount of the outstanding Swingline Loans evidenced thereby, (iv) mature on the Swingline
Expiry Date, (v) bear interest as provided in Section 1.08 in respect of the Base Rate Loans evidenced thereby, (vi) be subject to voluntary prepayment as provided in Section 4.01 and mandatory repayment as provided in Section 4.02 and (vii) be
entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. 
  
 (e) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and will prior to any transfer of any of its Notes endorse on the reverse side thereof the
outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. 
  
 (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above or elsewhere in
this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to the Borrower shall affect or in any manner
impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties
therefor provided pursuant to the various Credit Documents. Any Lender which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (e). At any time when any
Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans. 
  
 1.06 Conversions. The Borrower shall have the option to convert on any
Business Day occurring on or after the Initial Borrowing Date, all or a portion at least equal to the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Loans (other than Swingline Loans, which shall at all times be
maintained as Base Rate Loans) made pursuant 

  

 -7- 








 
to one or more Borrowings of one or more Types of Loans under a single Tranche into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type of Loan under such Tranche;
provided, that (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 1.10(b) or unless the Borrower pays all breakage costs and other amounts owing to each Lender pursuant to Section 1.11 concurrently with any such conversion, Eurodollar Loans may be
converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Loans being converted, and no partial conversion of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans
made pursuant to such Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (ii) Base Rate Loans may only be converted into Eurodollar Loans if no Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion, (iii)
unless the Administrative Agent has determined that the Syndication Date has occurred (at which time this clause (iii) shall no longer be applicable), no conversions of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans may be made prior to the third Business
Day following the Initial Borrowing Date and (iv) Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans resulting from this Section 1.06 shall be limited in number as provided in Section 1.02. Each such conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the
Administrative Agent at its Notice Office, prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time), at least three Business Days’ (or one Business Day’s in the case of a conversion into Base Rate Loans) prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) (each, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) , with each such notice to be irrevocable (except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 1.10) and to be in the form of Exhibit A-2, appropriately completed to
specify the Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing(s) pursuant to which the Loans were made and, if to be converted into a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give
each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Loans. 
  
 1.07 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Term Loans and Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred by the Borrower from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of such Lenders’ Term
Loan Commitments or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be; provided that all Borrowings of Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing shall be incurred from the RL Lenders pro rata on the basis of their
respective Adjusted RL Percentages. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans to be made by it
hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder. 
  
 1.08 Interest. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan made to it from the date of the Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity
(whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 1.06, at a rate per annum which shall at all times be equal to the sum of the
relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time plus the Base Rate in effect from time to time during the period such Base Rate Loan is outstanding. 
  
 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan made to it from
the date of the Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Eurodollar Loan and (ii) the conversion of such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 1.06, 1.09 or 

  

 -8- 








 
1.10(b), as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, at all times be equal to the sum of
the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time plus the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period. 
  
 (c) To the extent permitted by law, overdue principal and overdue interest in respect of each Loan shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per
annum equal to the greater of (x) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate borne by such Loan immediately prior to the respective payment default and (y) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans
from time to time. Interest which accrues under this Section 1.08(c) shall be payable on demand. 
  
 (d) Interest shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable (i) in
respect of each Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (ii) in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, on (x) the date of any conversion into a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 1.06, 1.09 or 1.10(b), as applicable (on the
amount converted) and (y) the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period and (iii)
in respect of each Loan, on (x) the date of any prepayment or repayment thereof (on the amount prepaid or repaid), (y) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (z) after such maturity, on demand. 
  
 (e) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with
Section 13.07(b). 
  
 (f) Upon each Interest Determination Date,
the Administrative Agent shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for the respective Interest Period or Interest Periods and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and
conclusive and binding on all parties hereto. 
  
 1.09 Interest
Periods for Eurodollar Loans. At the time the Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (in the case of the initial Interest Period
applicable thereto) or prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower shall have
the right to elect by giving the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower (but otherwise
subject to clause (y) of the proviso to Sections 1.01(a)(iii) and 1.01(b)(ii) and to clause (iii) of the proviso to Section 1.06), be a one, two, three, six or, with the consent of each Lender with outstanding Loans and/or Commitments under the
respective Tranche, nine or twelve month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above: 
  
 (i) all Eurodollar Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period; 
  

 -9- 








 (ii) the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall commence on
the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period
applicable thereto expires; 
  
 (iii) if any
Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such
calendar month; 
  
 (iv) if any Interest Period
for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day, provided, that if any Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar
Loans would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day; 
  
 (v) no Interest Period for a Borrowing under a Tranche shall
be selected which would extend beyond the respective Maturity Date for such Tranche; 
  
 (vi) no Interest Period may be elected at any time when a Default or an Event of Default is then in existence; and 
  
 (vii) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of Term
Loans shall be elected which extends beyond any date upon which a Scheduled Repayment will be required to be made under Section 4.02(b) if, after giving effect to the election of such Interest Period, the aggregate principal amount of such Term
Loans which have Interest Periods which will expire after such date will be in excess of the aggregate principal amount of such Term Loans then outstanding less the aggregate amount of such required Scheduled Repayment. 
  
 If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of
Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to the respective Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such
Borrowing into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period. 
  
 1.10 Increased Costs; Illegality; etc. (a) In the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent or (y) in the case of
clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender, shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto): 
  
 (i) on any Interest Determination Date, that, by reason of
any changes arising after the Effective Date affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate; or 

 

 -10- 








 (ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the
amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurodollar Loans because of (x) any change since the Effective Date in any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request (whether or not having the force of
law), or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request (other than, in each case, any such change with respect to taxes or any similar
charges), such as, for example, but not limited to, a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate and/or (y)
other circumstances affecting such Lender, the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of such Lender in such market (other than circumstances relating to taxes or any similar charges); or 
  
 (iii) at any time since the Effective Date, that the making
or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender with any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any governmental rule, regulation, guideline, request or order not having
the force of law but with which such Lender customarily complies even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Effective Date which materially and
adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market; 
  
 then, and in any such
event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and (except in the case of clause (i)) to the Administrative Agent of such determination
(which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter, (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the
Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans which
have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower agrees, subject to the provisions of Section 13.18 (to the extent applicable), to pay to such
Lender, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate
such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, prepared in good
faith and submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the Borrower’s
obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 1.10(a) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 1.10(b) as promptly as
practicable and, in any event, within the time period required by law. 
  
 (b) At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected pursuant to Section 1.10(a)(iii), the Borrower shall)
either (i) if the affected Eurodollar 

  

 -11- 








 
Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel said Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing)
thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii)), or (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent,
require the affected Lender to convert each such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan (which conversion, in the case of the circumstance described in Section 1.10(a)(iii), shall occur no later than the last day of the Interest Period then
applicable to such Eurodollar Loan or such earlier day as shall be required by applicable law); provided, that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section
1.10(b). 
  
 (c) If any Lender shall have determined that after
the Effective Date, the adoption or effectiveness of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank
or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law)
of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such other corporation’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s Commitment or
Commitments or its obligations hereunder to the Borrower to a level below that which such Lender or such other corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s
or such other corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, upon written demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), accompanied by the notice referred to in the last sentence of this
clause (c), the Borrower agrees, subject to the provisions of Section 13.18 (to the extent applicable), to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such other corporation for such reduction in the rate
of return to such Lender or such other corporation. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 1.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower (a copy of which
shall be sent by such Lender to the Administrative Agent), which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish the
Borrower’s obligation to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 1.10(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice. In determining any additional amounts owing under this Section 1.10(c), each Lender will act reasonably and in good
faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable; provided that such Lender’s reasonable good faith determination of compensation owing under this Section 1.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive
and binding on all the parties hereto. 
  
 1.11
Compensation.(a) The Borrower agrees, subject to the provisions of Section 13.18 (to the extent applicable), to compensate each Lender, promptly upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for
requesting such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such
Lender to fund its Eurodollar Loans but excluding any loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or any Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, Eurodollar Loans
does 

  

 -12- 








 
not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower (whether or not withdrawn by the
Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 1.10(a)); (ii) if any repayment (including any repayment made pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 10 or as a result of the replacement
of a Lender pursuant to Section 1.13 or 13.12(b)) or conversion of any Eurodollar Loans of the Borrower occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any Eurodollar Loans is not made
on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the Borrower to repay its Eurodollar Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or (y) an election made by the
Borrower pursuant to Section 1.10(b). Each Lender’s calculation of the amount of compensation owing pursuant to this Section 1.11 shall be made in good faith. A Lender’s basis for requesting compensation pursuant to this Section 1.11 and a
Lender’s calculation of the amount thereof made in accordance with the requirements of this Section 1.11, shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto. 
  
 (b) The Borrower agrees to compensate the Administrative Agent, upon its
written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (exclusive of amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(ii)) incurred by it in connection
with (i) any withdrawals from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period or scheduled investment termination date for the Credit-Linked Deposits and (ii) the
termination of the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment (and the related termination of the investment of the funds held in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account) prior to the end of any applicable Interest Period or scheduled investment termination
date for the Credit-Linked Deposits. 
  
 1.12 Change of Lending
Office. (a) Each Lender may at any time or from time to time designate, by written notice to the Administrative Agent to the extent not already reflected on Schedule II, one or more lending offices (which, for this purpose, may include
Affiliates of the respective Lender) for the various Loans made, and Letters of Credit participated in, by such Lender; provided that, for designations made after the Effective Date, to the extent such designation shall result in increased
costs under Section 1.10, 2.05 or 4.04 in excess of those which would be charged in the absence of the designation of a different lending office (including a different Affiliate of the respective Lender), then the Borrower shall not be obligated to
pay such excess increased costs (although the Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay the costs which would apply in the absence of such designation and any subsequent increased
costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective designation). Each lending office and Affiliate of any Lender designated as provided above shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be treated in the same
manner as the respective Lender (and shall be entitled to all indemnities and similar provisions in respect of its acting as such hereunder). 
  
 (b) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), 1.10(c), 2.05 or 4.04 with
respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of 

  

 -13- 








 
Credit affected by such event, with the object of avoiding the consequences of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section; provided,
that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage. Nothing in this Section 1.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of
any Lender provided in Section 1.10, 2.05 or 4.04 (although each such Lender shall nevertheless have an obligation to change its applicable lending office subject to the terms set forth in the immediately preceding sentence). 
  
 1.13 Replacement of Lenders. On and after the Term Loan Commitment
Termination Date, (x) if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (y) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 1.10(c), Section 2.05 or Section 4.04 with respect to any Lender which
results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs in a material amount in excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders or (z) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or
termination with respect to this Agreement which has been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with Section 13.04(b), if no Default or Event of Default then exists or
would exist after giving effect to such replacement, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferee or Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of
such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or, at the option of the Borrower, to replace only (a) the Revolving Loan Commitment (and
outstandings pursuant thereto) of the Replaced Lender and/or the PF Letter of Credit Commitment of the Replaced Lender with an identical Revolving Loan Commitment and/or PF Letter of Credit Commitment provided by the Replacement Lender or (b) in the
case of a replacement as provided in Section 13.12(b) where the consent of the respective Lender is required with respect to less than all Tranches of its Loans or Commitments, the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of such Lender in respect of
each Tranche where the consent of such Lender would otherwise be individually required, with identical Commitments and/or Loans of the respective Tranche provided by the Replacement Lender; provided that: 
  
 (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section
1.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the
Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans (or, in the case of the replacement of only (a) the Revolving Loan Commitment, the Revolving Loan Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans and participations in WC
Letter of Credit Outstandings, (b) the PF Letter of Credit Commitment, participations in PF Letter of Credit Outstandings and/or (c) the outstanding Term Loans, the outstanding Term Loans) of, and in each case (except for the replacement of only the
outstanding Term Loans of the respective Lender) participations in Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to
the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans (or of the Loans of the respective Tranche being replaced) of the Replaced Lender, (B) an amount equal to all WC Unpaid Drawings and/or PF Unpaid Drawings, as the case may be
(unless there are no such WC Unpaid 

  

 -14- 








 
Drawings or PF Unpaid Drawings with respect to the Tranche being replaced), that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender, together
with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender (but only with respect to the relevant Tranche, in the case of the replacement of less
than all Tranches of Loans then held by the respective Replaced Lender) pursuant to Section 3.01, (y) except in the case of the replacement of only the outstanding Term Loans of a Replaced Lender, each Letter of Credit Issuer an amount equal to such
Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage and/or PF Percentage, as the case may be, of any Unpaid Drawing relating to Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was
not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender and (z) in the case of any replacement of Revolving Loan Commitments, CSFB an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s Adjusted RL Percentage of any Mandatory Borrowing to the extent such amount was
not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender; and 
  
 (ii) all obligations of the Borrower then owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those (a) specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, but
including all amounts, if any, owing under Section 1.11 or (b) relating to any Tranche of Loans and/or Commitments of the respective Replaced Lender which will remain outstanding after giving effect to the respective replacement) shall be paid in
full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement. 
  
 Upon the
execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement by the respective Replacement Lender (but not the Replaced Lender, whose signature thereto shall not be required to render the same effective for purposes of this Agreement), the
payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, the recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.17 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender
of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, (x) the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and, unless the respective Replaced Lender continues to have outstanding Term Loans and/or a Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder,
the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 1.10, 1.11, 2.05, 4.04, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to
such Replaced Lender and (y) except in the case of the replacement of only outstanding Term Loans, the Adjusted RL Percentages of the Lenders shall be automatically adjusted at such time to give effect to such replacement. 
  
 SECTION 2. Letters of Credit. 
  
 2.01 Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and
conditions herein set forth, the Borrower may request a Letter of Credit Issuer at any time and from time to time after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the tenth Business Day (or the 30th day in the case of Trade Letters of Credit) preceding
the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (in the case of a request for a WC Letter of Credit) or the Term Loan Maturity Date (in the case of a request for a PF Letter of Credit) to issue on a sight basis, (x) for the account of the Borrower and for the
benefit of any holder (or any trustee, agent or other similar representative for any such holders) of L/C 

  

 -15- 








 
Supportable Indebtedness, irrevocable sight standby letters of credit in a form customarily used by such Letter of Credit Issuer or in such other form as has
been approved by such Letter of Credit Issuer (each such standby letter of credit, a “Standby Letter of Credit”) in support of such L/C Supportable Indebtedness and (y) for the account of the Borrower and for the benefit of sellers
of goods and materials to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, irrevocable sight trade letters of credit in a form customarily used by such Letter of Credit Issuer or in such other form as has been approved by
such Letter of Credit Issuer (each such trade letter of credit, a “Trade Letter of Credit,” and each such Standby Letter of Credit and Trade Letter of Credit, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the
“Letters of Credit”). For purposes hereof, Letters of Credit shall at all times and from time to time be deemed to be PF Letters of Credit in the amount specified in the definition of PF Letters of Credit and be deemed to be WC
Letters of Credit only to the extent, and in an amount by which, the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings exceed such amount specified in the definition of PF Letters of Credit. 
  
 (b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Letter of Credit Issuer hereby agrees that it will,
at any time and from time to time after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the tenth Business Day (or the 30th day in the case of Trade Letters of Credit) preceding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (in the case of a request for a WC Letter of
Credit) or the Term Loan Maturity Date (in the case of a request for a PF Letter of Credit), following its receipt of the respective Letter of Credit Request, issue for the account of the Borrower one or more Letters of Credit, (x) in the case of
Trade Letters of Credit, in support of trade obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that arise in the ordinary course of business or (y) in the case of Standby Letters of Credit, in support of such L/C Supportable Indebtedness as is
permitted to remain outstanding hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Letter of Credit Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if at the time of such issuance: 
  
 (i) any order, judgment or decree of any governmental
authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Letter of Credit Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit or any requirement of law applicable to such Letter of Credit Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over such Letter of Credit Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of
Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Letter of Credit Issuer is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the
Effective Date, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable, in effect or known to such Letter of Credit Issuer as of the Effective Date and which such Letter of Credit Issuer in good faith deems material to it; or 

 
 (ii) such Letter of Credit Issuer shall have received
written notice from the Borrower or the Required Lenders prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit of the type described in clause (viii) of Section 2.01(c) or the last sentence of Section 2.02(b). 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no WC Letter of Credit shall be issued
the Stated Amount of which, when added to the WC Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of WC Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective 

  

 -16- 








 
WC Letter of Credit) at such time, would exceed either (x) $50,000,000 or (y) when added to the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans made by the
Non-Defaulting Lenders and then outstanding and all Swingline Loans then outstanding, the Adjusted Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time; (ii) no PF Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the PF Letter of
Credit Outstandings (exclusive of PF Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective PF Letter of Credit) would exceed either (x) the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment at such time or (y) the
aggregate amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account at such time; (iii) (x) each Standby Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date occurring not later than one year after such Standby Letter of Credit’s date of
issuance, provided that any such Standby Letter of Credit may be extendable for successive periods of up to one year, but not beyond the tenth Business Day preceding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (in the case of a WC Letter of Credit) or
the Term Loan Maturity Date (in the case of a PF Letter of Credit), on terms acceptable to the Letter of Credit Issuer and (y) each Trade Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date occurring not later than 180 days after such Trade Letter of
Credit’s date of issuance; (iv) (x) no Standby Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date occurring later than the tenth Business Day preceding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (in the case of a WC Letter of Credit) or the Term Loan Maturity
Date (in the case of a PF Letter of Credit) and (y) no Trade Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date occurring later than 30 days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (in the case of a WC Letter of Credit) or the Term Loan Maturity Date (in
the case of a PF Letter of Credit); (v) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars; (vi) the Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $100,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the respective Letter of
Credit Issuer; (vii) no WC Letter of Credit may be issued unless the PF Letter of Credit Outstandings equal the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment as then in effect; and (viii) no Letter of Credit Issuer will issue any Letter of Credit after it
has received written notice from the Borrower or the Required Lenders stating that a Default or an Event of Default exists until such time as such Letter of Credit Issuer shall have received a written notice of (x) rescission of such notice from the
party or parties originally delivering the same or (y) a waiver of such Default or Event of Default by the Required Lenders. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Lender Default exists with respect to an RL Lender or a PF Lender, no Letter of Credit Issuer shall be
required to issue (i) in the case of a Lender Default by an RL Lender, any WC Letter of Credit or (ii) in the case of a Lender Default by PF Lender, any PF Letter of Credit, unless, in each case, the respective Letter of Credit Issuer has entered
into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate such Letter of Credit Issuer’s risk with respect to the participation in WC Letters of Credit or PF Letters of Credit, as the case may be, of the Defaulting Lender or Defaulting
Lenders, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s or Lenders’ Adjusted RL Percentage or PF Percentage, as the case may be, of the respective Letter of Credit Outstandings; provided, however, that a
Defaulting Lender’s PF Percentage of the PF Letter of Credit Outstandings shall not be required to be so cash collateralized, so long as the aggregate amount of Credit-Linked Deposits at such time exceeds the aggregate PF Letter of Credit
Outstandings at such time. 
  
 (e) Schedule XIII hereto contains a
description of all letters of credit issued pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement for the account of the Borrower and outstanding on the Initial Borrowing Date (and setting forth, with respect to each such letter of credit, (i) the name of the
issuing lender, (ii) the letter of credit number, (iii) the name(s) of the account party 

  

 -17- 








 
or account parties, (iv) the stated amount, (v) the name of the beneficiary, (vi) the expiry date and (vii) whether such letter of credit constitutes a
standby letter of credit or a trade letter of credit). Each such letter of credit, including any extension or renewal thereof (each, as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, an “Existing Letter of
Credit”) shall constitute a “Letter of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement, issued, for purposes of Section 2.03(a), on the Initial Borrowing Date. In addition, each Existing Letter of Credit designated as a “Standby
Letter of Credit” or “Trade Letter of Credit” on Schedule XIII shall constitute a “Standby Letter of Credit” or “Trade Letter of Credit”, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement. Any Lender hereunder
which has issued an Existing Letter of Credit shall constitute a “Letter of Credit Issuer” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. 
  
 2.02 Letter of Credit Requests. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued, the Borrower
shall give the Administrative Agent and the respective Letter of Credit Issuer written notice thereof prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the respective Letter of Credit
Issuer) prior to the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day) which written notice shall be in the form of Exhibit C (each, a “Letter of Credit Request”). Each Letter of Credit Request shall include any other
documents as such Letter of Credit Issuer customarily requires in connection therewith. 
  
 (b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and it will not violate the requirements
of, Section 2.01(c). Unless the respective Letter of Credit Issuer has received notice from the Borrower, any Agent or the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5 or
6, as the case may be, are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 2.01(c), then such Letter of Credit Issuer may issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in accordance with
such Letter of Credit Issuer’s usual and customary practice. 
  
 2.03 Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon the issuance by a Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other RL Lender or PF
Lender, as the case may be, and each such RL Lender or PF Lender (in its capacity under this Section 2.03, a “Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Letter of Credit
Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Participant’s Adjusted RL Percentage or PF Percentage, as the case may be, in such Letter of Credit, each substitute Letter of Credit, each
drawing made thereunder (each, a “Drawing”) and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto (although WC Letter of Credit Fees shall be payable directly to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the RL Lenders as provided in Section 3.01(c), the PF Facility Fee and the interest referred to in Section 2.04(b)(ii) shall be payable directly to the Administrative Agent for the account of the PF Lenders as provided in Sections 3.01(d) and
2.04(b)(ii), respectively, and the Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any Facing Fees or any administrative fees referred to in Section 3.01(f)) with respect to such Letters of Credit and any security therefor or guaranty
pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Loan Commitments or the 

  

 -18- 








 
Adjusted RL Percentages of the RL Lenders or the PF Letter of Credit Commitments or the PF Percentages of the PF Lenders, in each case pursuant to Section
1.13 or 13.04(b) or as a result of a Lender Default, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings with respect thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this
Section 2.03 to reflect the new Adjusted RL Percentages or PF Percentages of the assignor and assignee RL Lender or PF Lender, as the case may be. 
  
 (b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no Letter of Credit Issuer shall have any obligation relative to the Participants other than
to determine that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be
taken by any Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision), shall not create for such Letter of Credit Issuer any resulting liability. 
  
 (c) (i) Any payment made by a Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit issued by it shall be deemed to have been drawn first under PF Letters of
Credit for so long as there are any undrawn PF Letters of Credit and thereafter shall be deemed to be drawn under WC Letters of Credit. 
  
 (ii) In the event that any Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment under any WC Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed
such amount in full to the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 2.04(a), such Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and
each such Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer, the amount of such Participant’s Adjusted RL Percentage of such payment in U.S. Dollars and in same day
funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies any Participant required to fund a payment under a WC Letter of Credit prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on any Business Day, such Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the
Payment Office for the account of the respective Letter of Credit Issuer such Participant’s Adjusted RL Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds (and, to the extent such notice is given after 11:00 A.M.
(New York time) on any Business Day, such Participant shall make such payment on the immediately following Business Day). If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its Adjusted RL Percentage of the amount of such payment available
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Letter of Credit Issuer, such Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith on demand such amount, together with
interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer at the overnight Federal Funds Rate; provided that if any Participant does not make
available to the Administrative Agent any amounts required to be made available by it as described above within 2 Business Days after the respective Participant has been notified by the Administrative Agent or the respective Letter of Credit Issuer
to make such amounts available, then the respective Participant shall pay interest on the amounts demanded of it at the same rates payable from time to time by the Borrower on the respective Unpaid Drawings pursuant to Section 2.04(a). The failure
of any Participant to make available to the 

  

 -19- 








 
Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Letter of Credit Issuer its Adjusted RL Percentage of any payment under any WC Letter of Credit issued
by it shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer its applicable Adjusted RL Percentage of any payment under any such WC Letter of
Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer such other
Participant’s Adjusted RL Percentage of any such payment. 
  
 (iii) In the event that a Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment under any PF Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 2.04(a), each
PF Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to reimburse such Letter of Credit Issuer for such amount solely from such PF Lender’s PF Percentage of the Credit-Linked Deposits on deposit with the Administrative Agent in the
Credit-Linked Deposit Account. 
  
 (d) Whenever any Letter of
Credit Issuer receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Letter of Credit
Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Participant which has paid its Adjusted RL Percentage thereof or PF Percentage thereof, as the case may be, in U.S. Dollars and in same day funds,
an amount equal to such Participant’s Adjusted RL Percentage or PF Percentage, as the case may be, of the principal amount thereof and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations (it being understood and agreed
that any such payment to be made pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) to a Participant which is a PF Lender shall be made by such Letter of Credit Issuer to the Administrative Agent for the account of such PF Lender and, except for a payment made as
required under Section 4.02(j), for deposit in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account). 
  
 (e) Each Letter of Credit Issuer shall, promptly after each issuance of, or amendment or modification to, a Standby Letter of Credit issued by it, give the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice of the
issuance of, or amendment or modification to, such Standby Letter of Credit, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the Standby Letter of Credit or Standby Letters of Credit issued by it and each such amendment or modification thereto.
Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Participant, in writing, of such issuance, amendment or modification and, if any Participant shall so request, the respective Letter of Credit Issuer shall furnish said
Participant with a copy of such Standby Letter of Credit, such amendment or such modification, as the case may be. 
  
 (f) Each Letter of Credit Issuer (other than CSFB) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, promptly on the first Business Day of each week, by
facsimile transmission, the aggregate daily Stated Amount available to be drawn under the outstanding Trade Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer for the previous week. 
  
 (g) The obligations of the Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the respective
Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense 

  

 -20- 








 
or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances,
including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances: 
  
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents; 
  
 (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time
against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with
this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

  
 (iii) any draft, certificate or other
document presented under the Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 
  
 (iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of
any of the Credit Documents; or 
  
 (v) the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default. 
  
 2.04
Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) (i) Except as contemplated by Section 2.03(c)(iii), and subject to Section 2.04(b), the Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse each Letter of Credit Issuer, by making payment to the
Administrative Agent in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by such Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount so paid or disbursed until
reimbursed by the Borrower, an “Unpaid Drawing”) immediately after, and in any event on the date of (or, if not notified by the respective Letter of Credit Issuer prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date of such payment or
disbursement, on the Business Day following), such payment or disbursement, with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date of such payment
or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but not including the date such Letter of Credit Issuer is reimbursed therefor at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of WC Unpaid Drawings, the then Applicable Margin for
Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans plus the Base Rate, each as in effect from time to time (plus an additional 2% per annum if not reimbursed by the third Business Day after the date of such payment or
disbursement) or (ii) in the case of PF Unpaid Drawings, the Applicable PF Margin plus the Base Rate in effect from time to time (plus an additional 2% per annum if not reimbursed by the third Business Day after the date of such
payment or disbursement), such interest (in all cases) also to be payable on demand; provided, that (x) it is understood and agreed, however, that the notices referred to above in this clause (a) shall not be required to be given if a Default
or an Event of Default under such Section 10.05 shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawings shall be due and payable immediately without

presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by each Credit Party) and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
the rate otherwise applicable to the respective Unpaid Drawing as provided in subclause (i) or (ii) above, as the case may be, and (y) from and after the time that the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the respective Letter
of Credit Issuer that the Borrower has elected to keep outstanding a PF Unpaid Drawing as provided in Section 2.04(b)(i), such PF Unpaid Drawing shall accrue interest as provided in Section 2.04(b)(ii). Each Letter of Credit Issuer shall provide the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent prompt notice of any payment or disbursement made by it under any Letter of Credit issued by it, although the failure of, or delay in, giving any such notice shall not release, impair or diminish the obligations
of the Borrower under this Section 2.04(a)(i) or under any other Section of this Agreement. 
  
 (ii) If any Drawing under a PF Letter of Credit that has been reimbursed from the Credit-Linked Deposits as provided in Section 2.03(c)(iii) shall be reimbursed by the Borrower on a day other than on the last day of
an Interest Period or scheduled investment termination date applicable to the Credit-Linked Deposits, the Administrative Agent shall invest the amount so reimbursed in overnight or short-term cash equivalent investments until the end of the Interest
Period or scheduled investment termination date at the time in effect and the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent on the last day of such Interest Period or the scheduled investment termination date, the amount, if any, by which the
interest accrued on a like amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits at the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period in effect therefor shall exceed the interest earned through the investment of the amount so reimbursed for the period from the date of
such reimbursement through the end of the applicable Interest Period, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith (such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto) and set forth
in the request for payment delivered to the Borrower (it being understood that any delay in, or failure to provide, any such request for payment by the Administrative Agent shall in no way relieve or diminish the obligations of the Borrower to pay
to the Administrative Agent the amount of interest required to be paid as provided above in this sentence). In the event that the Borrower shall fail to pay any amount due under this Section 2.04(a)(ii), the interest payable by the Administrative
Agent to the PF Lenders on their Credit-Linked Deposits under Section 2.06 shall be correspondingly reduced and the PF Lenders shall without further act succeed, ratably in accordance with their PF Percentages, to the rights of the Administrative
Agent with respect to such amount due from the Borrower. In the event that the interest earned through the investment of the amount so reimbursed for the period from the date of such reimbursement through the end of the applicable Interest Period
(as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith) exceeds the interest which would accrue on a like amount of the Credit-Link Deposits at the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such period then, so long as no Default or
Event of Default then exists, the Administrative Agent shall return such excess to the Borrower promptly following the last day of such Interest Period. 
  
 (b) (i) In the event that the Credit-Linked Deposit Account is charged by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(iii) to reimburse the
applicable Letter of Credit Issuer for any payment made by it under a PF Letter of Credit that has not been reimbursed by the Borrower in cash pursuant to Section 2.04(a), the Borrower shall have the right to keep the PF Unpaid Drawing outstanding
until the Term Loan Maturity Date (subject to any earlier repayment of such PF Unpaid Drawing as may be required pursuant to Section 4.02(j)). In the 

  

 -22- 








 
event the Borrower has made such an election, the Borrower shall also have the right to pay to the Administrative Agent in reimbursement of such outstanding
PF Unpaid Drawing, an amount equal to the amount so charged for deposit in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account, and such payment by the Borrower shall correspondingly reduce or satisfy, as applicable, the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations
pursuant to such Section 2.04(a) and Section 4.02(j), if any, in respect of such PF Unpaid Drawing. To the extent that the Borrower elects not to repay any PF Unpaid Drawing pursuant to Section 2.04(a) at the time the respective Drawing under the PF
Letter of Credit occurs, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and the respective Letter of Credit Issuer thereof in writing at such time. 
  
 (ii) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each PF Lender, interest with respect to any PF Letter of Credit
which is reimbursed from funds in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account and which have not been reimbursed by the Borrower, equal to the amount that such PF Lender would have received under Section 2.06(b) had such funds from the Credit-Linked Deposit
Account not been utilized to reimburse a Drawing under such PF Letter of Credit (calculated for the relevant period for which payment is required to be made) less amounts already received pursuant to Section 2.06(b) by such PF Lender for such
relevant period. Interest accrued under this Section 2.04(b)(ii) shall be due and payable in arrears on each date on which interest is paid by the Administrative Agent to the PF Lenders pursuant to Section 2.06(b) and on the date on which the Total
PF Letter of Credit Commitment has been terminated, the Credit-Linked Deposit has been returned to the PF Lenders and all PF Letters of Credit have been terminated. 
  
 (c) The Borrower’s obligation under this Section 2.04 to reimburse the respective Letter of Credit Issuer with respect
to drawings on Letters of Credit (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which Holdings, the Borrower or any
of their respective Subsidiaries may have or have had against such Letter of Credit Issuer, any Agent or any Lender or other Person, including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by
it to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such drawing; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse such Letter of
Credit Issuer for any wrongful payment made by such Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Letter of Credit Issuer as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision; provided, further, that any reimbursement made by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim it may have against such Letter of Credit
Issuer as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Letter of Credit Issuer (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). 
  
 2.05 Increased Costs. If after the Effective Date, any Letter of
Credit Issuer or any Participant determines that the adoption or effectiveness of any applicable law, rule or regulation, order, guideline or request or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Participant with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) by 

  

 -23- 








 
any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar
requirement against Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant’s participation therein, or (ii) impose on any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Participant any other conditions directly or indirectly affecting
this Agreement, the Credit-Linked Deposits, any Letter of Credit or such Participant’s participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant of issuing,
maintaining or participating in the Credit-Linked Deposits or any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital
(other than any increased costs or reduction in the amount received or receivable resulting from the imposition of or a change in the rate of taxes or any similar charges) with respect to the Credit-Linked Deposits or Letters of Credit, then, upon
written demand to the Borrower by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant (a copy of which notice shall be sent by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), accompanied by the certificate described in
the last sentence of this Section 2.05, the Borrower agrees, subject to the provisions of Section 13.18 (to the extent applicable), to pay to such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant for such increased cost or reduction. Any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Participant, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.05, will give prompt written
notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Borrower by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Letter of Credit Issuer or
such Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant as aforesaid and such
certificate, if delivered in good faith, shall be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent manifest error, although the failure to deliver any such certificate shall not release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.05 upon subsequent receipt of such certificate. 
  
 2.06 Credit-Linked Deposit Account. (a) On the Initial Borrowing Date and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 5 and 6, each PF Lender on such date shall pay to the
Administrative Agent such PF Lender’s Credit-Linked Deposit. The Credit-Linked Deposits shall be held by the Administrative Agent in (or credited to) the Credit-Linked Deposit Account, and no Person other than the Administrative Agent shall
have a right of withdrawal from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account or any other right or power with respect to the Credit-Linked Deposits. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the funding obligation of each PF Lender in respect of its
Participation in PF Letters of Credit shall be satisfied in full upon the funding of its Credit-Linked Deposit. 
  
 (b) Each of the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and each PF Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) each PF Lender is funding
its Credit-Linked Deposit to the Administrative Agent for application in the manner contemplated by Section 2.03, (ii) the Administrative Agent may invest the Credit-Linked Deposits in such investments as may be determined from time to time by the
Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrower) and (iii) the Administrative Agent has agreed to pay to each PF Lender a return on its Credit-Linked Deposits (except (x) during periods when such Credit-Linked Deposits are used to reimburse
a Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Drawings on PF Letters of Credit or (y) as 

  

 -24- 








 
otherwise provided in Sections 2.04(a)(ii) and 2.06(d)) equal at any time to the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period in effect for the Credit-Linked
Deposits at such time less the Credit-Linked Deposit Cost Amount at such time. Such interest will be paid to the PF Lenders by the Administrative Agent at the Eurodollar Rate for an Interest Period of a duration specified in the definition of
“Interest Period” (or in an amount determined in accordance with Section 2.04(a)(ii) or 2.06(d), as applicable) in arrears on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to the Credit-Linked Deposits. 
  
 (c) The Borrower shall have no right, title or interest in or to the
Credit-Linked Deposit Account or the Credit-Linked Deposits and no obligations with respect thereto (except to refund portions thereof used to reimburse a Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Drawings on PF Letters of Credit as provided in
Section 2.03), it being acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that the funding of the Credit-Linked Deposits by the PF Lenders and the application of the Credit-Linked Deposits in the manner contemplated by Section 2.03(c)(iii) constitute
agreements among the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and each PF Lender with respect to the Participation in the PF Letters of Credit and do not constitute any loan or extension of credit to the Borrower directly by the PF
Lenders. 
  
 (d) If the Administrative Agent is not offering
Dollar deposits (in the applicable amounts) in the London interbank market, or the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not otherwise exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for the Credit-Linked Deposits (or any part
thereof), then the Credit-Linked Deposits (or such parts, as applicable) shall be invested so as to earn a return equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation. 
  
 SECTION 3. Fees;
Commitments. 
  
 3.01 Fees. (a) The Borrower shall pay
to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment, a commitment fee (the “RL Commitment Fee”) for the period from the Effective Date to but not including the Revolving Loan
Maturity Date (or such earlier date as the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall have been terminated), computed at a rate for each day equal to 1/2 of 1% on the daily average Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender.
Accrued RL Commitment Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date upon which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated). 
  
 (b) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to
each Non-Defaulting Lender with a Term Loan Commitment, a commitment fee (the “TL Commitment Fee”) for the period from the Effective Date to but not including the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date (or such earlier date as the
Total Term Loan Commitment shall have been terminated), computed at a rate for each day equal to 1/2 of 1% on the daily average Term Loan Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender. Accrued TL Commitment Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in
arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date (or such earlier date upon which the Total Term Loan Commitment is terminated). 
  

 -25- 








 (c) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for pro rata distribution to each Non-Defaulting
Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment (based on its respective Adjusted RL Percentage), a fee in respect of each WC Letter of Credit (the “WC Letter of Credit Fee”) computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for
Revolving Loans maintained as Eurodollar Loans then in effect on the daily Stated Amount of such WC Letter of Credit. Accrued WC Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and upon the first
day on or after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no WC Letters of Credit remain outstanding. 
  
 (d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each PF Lender (based on each such PF Lender’s PF Percentage) a fee
(the “PF Facility Fee”) equal to the sum of (I) a rate per annum equal to the Applicable PF Margin on the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment as in effect from time to time (or, if terminated, on the aggregate amount of the
Credit-Linked Deposits from time to time) and (II) a rate per annum equal to the Credit-Linked Deposit Cost Amount as in effect from time to time on the amount of the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment as in effect from time to time (or, if
terminated, on the aggregate amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits from time to time), in each case for the period from and including the Effective Date to and including the date on which the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment has been terminated,
the Credit-Linked Deposits have been returned to the PF Lenders and all PF Letters of Credit have been terminated. Accrued PF Facility Fees shall be due and payable in arrears on each date on which interest is paid by the Administrative Agent to the
PF Lenders pursuant to Section 2.06(b) and on the date on which the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment has been terminated, the Credit-Linked Deposits have been returned to the PF Lenders and all PF Letters of Credit have been terminated.

  
 (e) The Borrower shall pay to each Letter of Credit Issuer a
fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer (the “Facing Fee”) computed at the rate of the Applicable Facing Fee Percentage on the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. Accrued Facing Fees
shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and (x) in the case of WC Letters of Credit, upon the first day on or after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no WC Letters of Credit remain
outstanding and (y) in the case of PF Letters of Credit, upon the first day on or after the termination of the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment upon which no PF Letters of Credit remain outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, to the extent that the Borrower has paid advance facing fees to any Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to any Existing Letter of Credit under the letter of credit agreement governing the same, there shall be credited
against the Facing Fees due to such Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement the amount of such advance facing fees which related to periods after the Initial Borrowing Date. 
  
 (f) The Borrower shall pay directly to each Letter of Credit Issuer upon each issuance of, payment under, and/or amendment
of, a Letter of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer such amount as shall at the time of such issuance, payment or amendment be the administrative charge which such Letter of Credit Issuer is generally charging for issuances of, payments
under or amendments of, letters of credit issued by it. 
  

 -26- 








 (g) The Borrower shall pay to each Agent, for its own account, such other fees as may be agreed to in
writing from time to time between the Borrower and such Agent, when and as due. 
  
 (h) All computations of Fees shall be made in accordance with Section 13.07(b). 
  
 3.02 Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment and Total Unutilized PF Letter of Credit Commitment. (a) Upon
at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, without premium or penalty,
to terminate or partially reduce the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that (i) any such termination or partial reduction shall apply to proportionately and permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender
with such a Commitment, (ii) any partial reduction pursuant to this Section 3.02(a) shall be in an amount equal to at least $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 thereafter and (iii) no reduction to the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan
Commitment shall be in an amount which would cause the Revolving Loan Commitment of any RL Lender to be reduced (as required by the preceding clause (i)) by an amount which exceeds the remainder of (A) the Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment of
such RL Lender as in effect immediately before giving effect to such reduction minus (B) such RL Lender’s Adjusted RL Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding. 
  
 (b) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior written notice to the
Administrative Agent of the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the PF Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, without premium or penalty, to terminate the
Total Unutilized PF Letter of Credit Commitment in whole, or reduce it in part in an amount equal to at least $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $5,000,000 thereafter, provided (x) that each such reduction shall apply proportionately to
permanently reduce the PF Letter of Credit Commitment of each PF Lender and (y) the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 1.11(b) in connection with any such partial reduction to the Total PF Letter of Credit
Commitment. At the time of any termination or reduction of the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 3.02(b), the Administrative Agent shall return to the PF Lenders (ratably in accordance with their respective PF
Percentages) their Credit-Linked Deposits in an amount by which the aggregate amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits at such time exceeds the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment as in effect immediately after giving effect to such termination.

  
 (c) In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to
certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrower shall have the right, on or after the Term Loan Commitment
Termination Date, subject to obtaining the consents required by Section 13.12(b), upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to
each of the Lenders), to terminate all of the Commitments of such Lender (other than any such Commitment which is being maintained by such Lender (and not being terminated by the Borrower) as provided in Section 13.12(b)), so long as all Loans
(other than any such Loans 

  

 -27- 








 
that are being maintained by such Lender (and not being repaid by the Borrower) as provided in Section 13.12(b)) and PF Unpaid Drawings (to the extent that
such Lender’s PF Letter of Credit Commitment is being terminated), together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts, owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 1.11) are repaid
concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination pursuant to Section 4.01(vi) (at which time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts) and such Lender’s RL Percentage or PF Percentage, as the case may be, of
all outstanding WC Letters of Credit and/or PF Letters of Credit are cash collateralized by the Borrower in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Letter of Credit Issuer, and at such time, unless the respective Lender
continues to have outstanding Term Loans hereunder, such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections
1.10, 1.11, 2.05, 4.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender. At the time of any termination of a PF Lender’s PF Letter of Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 3.02(c), the Administrative Agent shall
return to such PF Lender its Credit-Linked Deposit. 
  
 (d) The
Borrower shall not have the right to voluntarily terminate or partially reduce the Total Term Loan Commitment (or the Term Loan Commitment of any Lender). 
  
 3.03 Mandatory Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Total Commitment (and the Term Loan Commitment, Revolving Loan Commitment and the PF Letter of
Credit Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on December 23, 2003, unless the Initial Borrowing Date has occurred on or before such date. 
  

(b) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Total Term Loan Commitment (and the Term Loan
Commitment of each Lender) shall (i) be reduced on each date on which Term Loans are incurred (after giving effect to the making of Term Loans on such date) in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans incurred on such date,
(ii) terminate in its entirety (to the extent not theretofore terminated) on the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date (after giving effect to any incurrence of Term Loans on such date) and (iii) prior to the termination of the Total Term Loan
Commitment as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, be reduced from time to time to the extent required by Section 4.02. 
  
 (c) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (and the Revolving Loan
Commitment of each RL Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on the earlier to occur of (i) the Revolving Loan Maturity Date and (ii) unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing in their sole discretion, a Change of Control
Event. 
  
 (d) In addition to any other mandatory commitment
reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment (and the PF Letter of Credit Commitment of each PF Lender) shall terminate in its entirety upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Term Loan Maturity Date and (ii)
unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree in writing, the date on which a Change of Control Event occurs. At the time of any termination of the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 3.03(d) or pursuant to Section 10, the
Administrative Agent shall return to the PF Lenders (ratably in accordance with their respective 

  

 -28- 








 
PF Percentages) their Credit-Linked Deposits (to the extent not theretofore applied pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(iii)) in an amount by which the aggregate
amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits at such time exceeds the aggregate PF Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time. 
  
 (e) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall be permanently
reduced from time to time to the extent required by Section 4.02. 
  
 (f) Each reduction to the Total Term Loan Commitment, Total Revolving Loan Commitment or Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 3.03 (or pursuant to Section 4.02) shall be applied proportionately to reduce the Term
Loan Commitment, the Revolving Loan Commitment or the PF Letter of Credit Commitment, as the case may be, of each Lender with such a Commitment. 
  
 SECTION 4. Payments. 
  
 4.01 Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans, and the right to allocate such prepayments to Term Loans,
Revolving Loans and/or Swingline Loans as the Borrower elects, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, from time to time on the following terms and conditions: 
  
 (i) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at its
Notice Office written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay the Loans, whether such Loans are Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans, the amount of such prepayment, the Types of Loans to be
repaid and (in the case of Eurodollar Loans) the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made, which notice (I) shall be given by the Borrower prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) (x) at least one Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment in
the case of Term Loans and Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans, (y) at least three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment in the case of Eurodollar Loans and (z) on the date of such prepayment in the case of Swingline Loans,
(II) shall, in the case of prepayments of Term Loans, specify the manner in which such prepayment shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments and (III) shall, except in the case of Swingline Loans, promptly be transmitted by
the Administrative Agent to each of the Lenders; 
  
 (ii) each prepayment (other than prepayments in full of (I) all outstanding Base Rate Loans or (II) any outstanding Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least (x) $1,000,000, in the case of
Eurodollar Loans, (y) $500,000, in the case of Revolving Loans and Term Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans and (z) $100,000, in the case of Swingline Loans and, in each case, if greater, in integral multiples of $100,000, provided, that no
partial prepayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto;

  

 -29- 








 (iii) at the time of any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01 on
any date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay the amounts required pursuant to Section 1.11; 
  
 (iv) except as provided in clause (vi) below, each prepayment in respect of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied
pro rata among such Loans, provided, that at the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01, such prepayment shall not be applied to any Revolving Loans of a
Defaulting Lender; 
  
 (v) each prepayment of
principal of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01 shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments in such manner as the Borrower shall designate in the notice delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (i) of
this Section 4.01, provided that if the Borrower fails to make such a designation, each such prepayment of Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments on a pro rata basis (based upon the then
remaining Scheduled Repayments after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto); and 
  
 (vi) in the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect
to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrower may, on or after the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date, upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent at its Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), repay all Loans of such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 1.11), together with accrued and unpaid
interest, Fees and all other amounts then owing to such Lender (or owing to such Lender with respect to each Tranche which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s individual consent) in accordance with said Section 13.12(b), so long as
(A) in the case of the repayment of Revolving Loans of any Lender pursuant to this clause (vi), (x) the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender is terminated concurrently with such repayment (at which time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to
reflect the changed Revolving Loan Commitments) and (y) such Lender’s Adjusted RL Percentage of all outstanding WC Letters of Credit is cash collateralized by the Borrower in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of
Credit Issuers, (B) in the case of the repayment of PF Unpaid Drawings for the account of any Lender pursuant to this clause (vi), (x) the PF Letter of Credit Commitment of such Lender is terminated concurrently with such repayment pursuant to
Section 3.02(c) (at which time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the changed PF Letter of Credit Commitments) and (y) such Lender’s PF Percentage of all outstanding PF Letters of Credit is cash collateralized by the Borrower in a
manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuers and (C) the consents required by Section 13.12(b) in connection with the repayment pursuant to this clause (vi) shall have been obtained. 
  
 4.02 Mandatory Repayments and Commitment Reductions. (a) (i) If on any
date the sum of (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans made by Non-Defaulting Lenders and Swingline Loans (after giving effect to all other repayments thereof 

  

 -30- 








 
on such date) and (y) the WC Letter of Credit Outstandings on such date, exceeds the Adjusted Total Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect, the Borrower
shall repay on such date the principal of Swingline Loans, and if no Swingline Loans are or remain outstanding, the principal of Revolving Loans of Non-Defaulting Lenders in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the
prepayment of all outstanding Swingline Loans and all outstanding Revolving Loans of Non-Defaulting Lenders, the aggregate amount of WC Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Adjusted Total Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect, the
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such date an amount in cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to such excess (up to the aggregate amount of WC Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time) and the Administrative
Agent shall hold such payment as security for the obligations of the Borrower to Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

  
 (ii) On any date on which the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of the Revolving Loans made by any Defaulting Lender exceeds the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall prepay on such date principal of Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender in an amount equal to such
excess. 
  
 (iii) On any day on which the aggregate amount of all
PF Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment at such time, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of
such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the PF Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrower to the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders hereunder
in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (b) In addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each date set forth below, the Borrower shall

 In the event that, on
the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date, less than $140,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Term Loans have been incurred on or prior to such date, an amount equal to the remainder of $140,000,000 less the aggregate principal amount of
the Term Loans incurred on or prior to such date shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal amount of such Scheduled Repayments after giving effect to
all prior reductions thereto). 
  
 (c) In addition to any other
mandatory repayments or commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each date on or after the Effective Date upon which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries receives Net Sale Proceeds from any Asset Sale, an amount equal to 100% of the
Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale shall be applied as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(h) and (i); provided that (I) with respect to any such Net Sale Proceeds
received by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries after the Effective Date in connection with a Tractor Trailer Replacement, such Net Sale Proceeds shall not give rise to a mandatory repayment (and/or commitment reduction, as the case may be) on such
date to the extent that no Default or Event of Default then exists and Holdings delivers an officer’s certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that (i) an amount equal to such Net Sale Proceeds has been used to
purchase a replacement Tractor Trailer within 180 days prior to the date of receipt of such Net Sale Proceeds or (ii) such Net Sale Proceeds shall be used or contractually committed to be used to purchase a replacement Tractor Trailer within 180
days following the date of receipt of such Net Sale Proceeds (which certificate shall set forth the amount of the proceeds so expended or the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended, as the case may be); provided further that in
the case of any Tractor Trailer Replacement for which no replacement Tractor Trailer has been purchased prior to the disposition of the Tractor Trailer to be replaced pursuant to such Tractor

Trailer Replacement, (x) if all or any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds referred to in clause (I)(ii) of the immediately preceding proviso are not so used
(or contractually committed to be used) within such 180 day period, such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction as provided above (without giving effect to clause (I) of
the immediately preceding proviso) and (y) if all or any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds are not so used within such 180 day period referred to in clause (x) of this proviso because such amount is contractually committed to be used and subsequent
to such date such contract is terminated or expires without such portion being so used, such remaining portion shall be applied on the date of such termination or expiration as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction as provided above
(without giving effect to clause (I) of the immediately preceding proviso) and (II) with respect to no more than $10,000,000 in the aggregate of such Net Sale Proceeds received by Holdings or its Subsidiaries in any fiscal year of Holdings, such Net
Sale Proceeds shall not give rise to a mandatory repayment (and/or commitment reduction, as the case may be) on such date to the extent that no Default or Event of Default then exists and Holdings delivers a certificate to the Administrative Agent
on or prior to such date stating that such Net Sale Proceeds shall be used or contractually committed to be used to purchase assets used or to be used in the businesses permitted pursuant to Section 9.01 (including, without limitation (but only to
the extent permitted by Section 9.02), the purchase of the capital stock of a Person engaged in such businesses) within 365 days following the date of receipt of such Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale (which certificate shall set forth the
estimates of the proceeds to be so expended); provided further, that (i) if all or any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds referred to in clause (II) of the immediately preceding proviso are not so used (or contractually committed to be used)
within such 365 day period, such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction as provided above (without giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso) and (ii) if all or
any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds are not so used within such 365-day period referred to in clause (i) of this proviso because such amount is contractually committed to be used and subsequent to such date such contract is terminated or expires
without such portion being so used, such remaining portion shall be applied on the date of such termination or expiration as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction as provided above (without giving effect to the immediately preceding
proviso). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.02(c), so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no mandatory repayments or commitment reductions shall be required pursuant to the
immediately preceding proviso appearing in this Section 4.02(c) until the date on which the aggregate Net Sale Proceeds from all Asset Sales not reinvested within the time periods specified by said proviso equals or exceeds $2,000,000. 

 
 (d) In addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment reductions
pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each date on or after the Effective Date on which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from (i) any incurrence of Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to
Section 9.04 as in effect on the Effective Date) by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) any issuance of Preferred Stock by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (other than (x) Disqualified Preferred Stock to the extent the proceeds therefrom
are used to effect Permitted Acquisitions and (y) Qualified Preferred Stock) or (iii) any sale or issuance of capital stock or other Equity Interests by, or cash capital contributions to, any Subsidiary of Holdings (other than (x) issuances of
common Equity Interests to Holdings or any other Subsidiary of Holdings and (y) cash capital contributions to any Subsidiary of Holdings by 

  

 -33- 








 
Holdings or any Subsidiary of Holdings), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the respective incurrence of Indebtedness, issuance of Preferred
Stock or Equity Interests or capital contribution shall be applied as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(h) and (i). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
4.02(d), so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no mandatory repayment or commitment reduction shall be required pursuant to this Section 4.02(d) until the date on which the sum of (x) the Net Cash Proceeds
required to be applied as mandatory repayments and/or commitment reductions in the absence of this sentence plus (y) the Net Cash Proceeds required to be applied as mandatory repayments and/or commitment reductions pursuant to Section 4.02(e)
in the absence of the last sentence of said Section, equals or exceeds $2,000,000. 
  
 (e) In addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each date on or after the Effective Date on which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash
proceeds from any sale or issuance of Qualified Preferred Stock or common Equity Interests of (or cash capital contributions to) Holdings (other than (u) the Holdings Equity Financing, (v) issuances of Holdings Common Stock to management of Holdings
and its Subsidiaries (including as a result of the exercise of any options with respect thereto) generating cash proceeds in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5,000,000 in any fiscal year of Holdings, (w) issuances of Holdings Common Stock as a
result of the exercise of any warrants with respect thereto generating cash proceeds in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2.0 million, (x) any issuance of Holdings Common Stock or Qualified Preferred Stock, to the extent the proceeds therefrom are
used to effect Permitted Acquisitions, (y) so long as no Default or Event of Default is then in existence, any issuance of Holdings Common Stock or Qualified Preferred Stock, to the extent the proceeds therefrom are used (I) to repurchase and/or
redeem Existing 2006 Floating Rate Senior Subordinated Notes in accordance with the requirements of subclause (t) of the proviso appearing in Section 9.12(ii) and/or (II) to repay principal and accrued but unpaid interest on Existing 2006 Floating
Rate Senior Subordinated Notes upon the final stated maturity thereof and (z) additional issuances of Holdings Common Stock and Qualified Preferred Stock, to the extent that the aggregate proceeds excluded pursuant to this clause (z) after the
Effective Date do not exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate), an amount equal to the Applicable Prepayment Percentage of the Net Cash Proceeds of the respective equity issuance or capital contribution shall be applied as a mandatory repayment and/or
commitment reduction in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(h) and (i); provided that Net Cash Proceeds received by Holdings from additional sales or issuances of Holdings Common Stock or Qualified Preferred Stock shall not be
required to be applied as a mandatory repayment (and/or commitment reduction, as the case may be) on the date of receipt thereof, to the extent that (x) no Default or Event of Default then exists and (y) Holdings delivers a certificate to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such Net Cash Proceeds shall be used or contractually committed to be used to make Capital Expenditures and/or effect Permitted Acquisitions within 270 days following the date of receipt of
such Net Cash Proceeds (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended), and provided further, that (i) if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds are not so used (or contractually committed to be used)
within such 270-day period, such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction as provided above and (ii) if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds are not so used within
such 270-day period referred to in clause (i) above because such amount is contractually committed to be 

  

 -34- 








 
used and subsequent to such date such contract is terminated or expires without such portion being so used, such remaining portion shall be applied on the
date of such termination or expiration as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction as provided above. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.02(e), so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, no mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction shall be required pursuant to this Section 4.02(e) until the date on which the sum of (x) the Net Cash Proceeds required to be applied as mandatory repayments and/or commitment
reductions in the absence of this sentence plus (y) the Net Cash Proceeds required to be applied as mandatory repayments and/or commitment reductions pursuant to Section 4.02(d) in the absence of the last sentence in said Section, equals or
exceeds $2,000,000. 
  
 (f) In addition to any other mandatory
repayments or commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.02, within 10 days following each date on or after the Effective Date on which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any Recovery Event (other than proceeds
from any Excluded Recovery Event), an amount equal to 100% of the proceeds of such Recovery Event (net of reasonable costs (including, without limitation, legal costs and expenses) and taxes incurred in connection with such Recovery Event and the
amount of such proceeds required to be used to repay any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness of the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement) which is secured by the respective assets subject to such Recovery Event) shall be applied as a mandatory
repayment and/or commitment reduction in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(h) and (i), provided that (x) so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists and such proceeds do not exceed $5,000,000, such proceeds shall not
be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that an Authorized Officer of Holdings has delivered a certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such proceeds shall be used or shall be committed to be used
to replace or restore any properties or assets in respect of which such proceeds were paid within 360 days following the date of such Recovery Event (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended) and (y) so long
as no Default or Event of Default then exists and to the extent that (a) the amount of such proceeds exceeds $5,000,000, (b) the amount of such proceeds, together with other cash available to Holdings and its Subsidiaries and permitted to be spent
by them on Capital Expenditures during the relevant period, equals at least 100% of the cost of replacement or restoration of the properties or assets in respect of which such proceeds were paid as determined by Holdings and as supported by such
estimates or bids from contractors or subcontractors or such other supporting information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably accept, (c) an Authorized Officer of Holdings has delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate on or prior to
the date the respective mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction would otherwise be required pursuant to this Section 4.02(f) in the form described in clause (x) above and also certifying its determination as required by preceding clause (b)
and certifying the sufficiency of business interruption insurance as required by succeeding clause (d), and (d) an Authorized Officer of Holdings has delivered to the Administrative Agent such evidence as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
request in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent establishing that Holdings has sufficient business interruption insurance and that Holdings will receive payment thereunder in such amounts and at such times as are
necessary to satisfy all obligations and expenses of Holdings and its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, all debt service requirements, including pursuant to this Agreement), without any delay or extension thereof, for the period from the
date of the respective casualty, condemnation or other event giving rise to the Recovery 

  

 -35- 








 
Event and continuing through the completion of the replacement or restoration of the respective properties or assets, then the entire amount of the proceeds
of such Recovery Event and not just the portion in excess of $5,000,000 shall be deposited with the Administrative Agent pursuant to a cash collateral arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent whereby such proceeds shall be
disbursed to Holdings from time to time as needed to pay or reimburse Holdings or such Subsidiary actual costs incurred by it in connection with the replacement or restoration of the respective properties or assets (pursuant to such certification
requirements as may be established by the Administrative Agent), provided further, that at any time while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Lenders may direct the Administrative Agent (in which case the
Administrative Agent shall, and is hereby authorized by each Credit Agreement Party to, follow said directions) to apply any or all proceeds then on deposit in such collateral account to the repayment of Obligations hereunder in the same manner as
proceeds would be applied pursuant to the Security Agreement, and provided further, that if all or any portion of such proceeds not required to be applied as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction pursuant to the second preceding
proviso (whether pursuant to clause (x) or (y) thereof) are either (A) not so used or committed to be so used within 360 days after the date of the respective Recovery Event or (B) if committed to be used within 360 days after the date of receipt of
such net proceeds and not so used within 18 months after the date of respective Recovery Event then, in either such case, such remaining portion not used or committed to be used (in the case of preceding clause (A)) and not used (in the case of
preceding clause (B)) shall be applied on the date occurring 360 days after the date of the respective Recovery Event (in the case of clause (A) above) or the date occurring 18 months after the date of the respective Recovery Event (in the case of
clause (B) above) as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(h) and (i). 
  
 (g) In addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each Excess Cash Flow Payment Date, an amount
equal to the Applicable Excess Cash Flow Percentage of the Adjusted Excess Cash Flow for the relevant Excess Cash Flow Payment Period shall be applied as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction in accordance with the requirements of
Sections 4.02(h) and (i). 
  
 (h) Each amount required to be
applied pursuant to Sections 4.02(c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) in accordance with this Section 4.02(h) shall be applied (i) first, to repay the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans, (ii) second, to the extent in excess of the
amounts required to be applied pursuant to preceding subclause (i), to reduce the Total Term Loan Commitment, and (iii) third, to the extent in excess of the amounts required to be applied pursuant to preceding subclauses (i) and (ii), to
reduce the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment on a pro rata basis (based on the relative amounts of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment, in each case as in effect
before giving effect to the respective reduction). It is understood and agreed that (x) the amount of any reduction to the Total Term Loan Commitment, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and/or Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment as provided in
preceding subclauses (ii) and (iii) shall be deemed to be an application of proceeds for purposes of this Section 4.02(h) even though cash is not actually applied, (y) any cash received by Holdings or such Subsidiary in connection with the event
giving rise to such reduction will be retained by such Person except, in the case of any reduction to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment or the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment, to the extent that such cash is 

  

 -36- 








 
otherwise required to be applied as provided in Section 4.02(a) as a result of such reduction to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment or the Total PF Letter
of Credit Commitment, as the case may be, and (z) each such reduction to the Total Term Loan Commitment, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment shall be made in accordance with Section 3.03(e)). All
repayments or commitment reductions, as the case may be, of outstanding Term Loans or Term Loan Commitments, as the case may be, pursuant to Sections 4.02(c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments of
Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining Scheduled Repayments after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto). For purposes of greater clarity, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any amount applied
pursuant to Section 4.02(c), (d), (e) or (f) as a mandatory repayment in accordance with this Section 4.02(h) need not represent the actual proceeds received by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the respective Asset Sale, debt
incurrence, equity issuance or Recovery Event, as the case may be. 
  
 (i) With respect to each repayment of Loans required by this Section 4.02, the Borrower may designate the Types of Loans of the respective Tranche which are to be repaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the specific Borrowing or
Borrowings of the respective Tranche pursuant to which made, provided that: (i) repayments of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 4.02 may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless (x) all Eurodollar
Loans of the respective Tranche with Interest Periods ending on such date of required repayment and all Base Rate Loans of the respective Tranche have been paid in full and/or (y) concurrently with such repayment, the Borrower pays all breakage
costs and other amounts owing to each Lender pursuant to Section 1.11; (ii) if any repayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than
the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, such Borrowing shall be converted at the end of the then current Interest Period into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; and (iii) each repayment of any Tranche of Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing
shall be applied pro rata among such Tranche of Loans. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole
discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 1.11. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.02, if at any time the mandatory repayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 4.02 would
result, after giving effect to the procedures set forth in this clause (i) above, in the Borrower incurring breakage costs under Section 1.11 as a result of Eurodollar Loans being repaid other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable
thereto (any such Eurodollar Loans, “Affected Loans”), the Borrower may elect, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, to have the provisions of the following sentence be applicable. At the time any Affected Loans are
otherwise required to be prepaid, the Borrower may elect to deposit 100% (or such lesser percentage elected by the Borrower as not being repaid) of the principal amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of the Affected Loans with the
Administrative Agent to be held as security for the obligations of the Borrower hereunder pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, with such cash collateral to be
released from such cash collateral account (and applied to repay the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loans) upon each occurrence thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period applicable to Eurodollar Loans (or such earlier date or dates as
shall be requested by the Borrower), with the amount to be so released and applied on the last day of each Interest Period to be the amount of such Eurodollar Loans to which such Interest Period applies (or, if less, the amount remaining in such
cash collateral account). 

  

 -37- 








 (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, (i) all then
outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on the Swingline Expiry Date, (ii) all other then outstanding Loans shall be repaid in full on the respective Maturity Date for such Loans, (iii) all then outstanding PF Unpaid Drawings which the
Borrower had theretofore elected to keep outstanding as provided in Section 2.04(b) shall be repaid in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date and (iv) unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing in their sole discretion, all
outstanding Loans shall be repaid in full upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Event. 
  
 4.03 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement or any Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lender
or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date when due and shall be made in U.S. Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office. Any payments under this Agreement or under any Note which are made
later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business
Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

  
 4.04 Net Payments. (a) All payments made by any Credit
Agreement Party hereunder (including, in the case of Holdings, in its capacity as Guarantor pursuant to Section 14) or under any Note will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. Except as provided in Section 4.04(b), all such
payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed with respect to such payments by
any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding, in the case of each Lender, except as provided in the second succeeding sentence, any tax, including any income,
branch profits, franchise or similar tax, which in each case is imposed on or measured by the net income, net profits or capital of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or the jurisdiction in which
the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect to such nonexcluded taxes, levies,
imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the
relevant Credit Agreement Party agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due by such Credit Agreement Party under this Agreement or under any Note, after
withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note. If any amounts are payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to the preceding sentence (any such amounts, the “Gross-Up
Amount”), the relevant Credit Agreement Party agrees to reimburse each Lender, upon the written request of such Lender, for the net amount, if 

  

 -38- 








 
any, of any taxes such Lender shall determine are incurred by such Lender (taking into account in calculating such net amount any allowable credit, deduction
or other benefit available as a result of, or with respect to, the payment by the relevant Credit Agreement Party to such Lender of (i) the Gross-Up Amount or (ii) any amount paid pursuant to this sentence) that would not have been incurred in the
absence of the payment by such Credit Agreement Party of (i) the Gross-Up Amount or (ii) any amount paid pursuant to this sentence. The relevant Credit Agreement Party will furnish to the Administrative Agent promptly after the date the payment of
any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by such Credit Agreement Party. Each Credit Agreement Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its
written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender in respect of any payments by or on behalf of such Credit Agreement Party. 
  
 (b) Each Lender party to this Agreement on the Effective Date hereby represents that, as of the Effective Date, all payments
of principal, interest, and fees to be made to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement will be totally exempt from withholding of United States federal tax. Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this
Agreement pursuant to Section 1.13 or 13.04, on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption
under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, or (ii) if the
Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) pursuant to
clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D (any such certificate, a “Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
(with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and
under any Note. In addition, each Lender agrees that (a) from time to time after the Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances or applicable law renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect,
and (b) upon the Borrower’s reasonable request after the occurrence of any change in applicable law or any other event requiring the delivery of a Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or any successor form in addition to or in replacement of the forms
previously delivered, it will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty),
Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate, or any successor form, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender
to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note, or it shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such
form or certificate in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver any such form or certificate pursuant to this Section 

  

 -39- 








 
4.04(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.04(a), but subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) the Borrower shall be
entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold income or similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable
hereunder for the account of any Lender which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for federal income tax purposes to the extent that such Lender has not provided to the Borrower U.S. Internal
Revenue Service forms that establish a complete exemption from, or reduction in the amount of, such deduction or withholding (unless the Lender shall no longer be eligible to deliver such form or statement) and (y) the Borrower shall not be
obligated pursuant to Section 4.04(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made to such Lender, or to indemnify and hold harmless or reimburse such Lender, in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States if (I) such Lender has not
provided to the Borrower the Internal Revenue Service forms required to be provided to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.04(b) or (II) in the case of a payment, other than interest, to a Lender described in clause (ii) above, to the extent
that such forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 4.04 and except as set forth in Section 13.04(b), the
Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 4.04(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any Taxes deducted or
withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes after the Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the
deducting or withholding of such Taxes; provided, however, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this sentence to the extent such deduction or withholding is imposed as a result of the failure of
the Lender to furnish the Borrower U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms that establish a complete exemption from or reduction in the amount of such deduction or withholding (unless such Lender shall not be eligible to deliver such form or statement).
The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts or indemnification under Section 4.04(a) to any Lender to the extent that the obligation to pay such additional amounts or indemnification would not have arisen but for the
representation set forth in the first sentence of Section 4.04(b) above made by the Lender not being true. 
  
 (c) If the Borrower pays any additional amount under this Section 4.04 with respect to taxes imposed on any payments made to or on behalf of a Lender and
such Lender determines in its sole discretion, but acting in good faith, that it has actually received or realized in connection therewith any refund of tax, or any reduction of, or credit against, its tax liabilities (a “Tax
Benefit”), such Lender shall pay to the Borrower an amount that the Lender shall, in its sole discretion, but acting in good faith, determine is equal to the net benefit, after tax, which was obtained by the Lender as a consequence of such
refund, reduction or credit; provided, however, that (i) any Lender may determine, in its sole discretion consistent with the policies of such Lender, whether to seek a Tax Benefit and (ii) nothing in this Section 4.04(c) shall require
the Lender to disclose any confidential information to the Borrower (including, without limitation, its tax returns). 
  
 (d) Each Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions and subject to overall policy considerations of such
Lender) (i) to file any 

  

 -40- 








 
certificate or document or to furnish any information as reasonably requested by the Borrower pursuant to any applicable treaty, law or regulation or (ii) to
designate a different applicable lending office of such Lender, if the making of such filing or the furnishing of such information or the designation of such other lending office would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any additional
amounts payable by the Borrower and would not, in the sole discretion of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender. 
  
 (e) The provisions of this Section 4.04 are subject to the provisions of Section 13.18 (to the extent applicable).

to normal year-end audit adjustments (all of which are of a recurring nature and none of which, individually or in the aggregate, would be material) and the absence of footnotes. 
  
 (c) Since December 31, 2002 (but after giving effect to the Transaction as if same had occurred prior thereto), nothing has
occurred that has had (unless same has ceased to exist), or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 (d) Except as fully reflected in the financial statements described in Section 7.10(b) and except for the Indebtedness incurred under this Agreement and

attainable based upon the then known facts and circumstances (it being understood that nothing contained in this Section 7.10(e) shall constitute a representation that the results forecasted in such Projections will in fact be achieved). There is no
fact known to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, which has not been disclosed herein or in such other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Lenders for use in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

or operated by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the knowledge of any Credit Agreement Party, by any other Person, located on any Real Property owned or operated by Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any Program Affiliate. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.17, the
representations made in this Section 7.17 shall be untrue only if the aggregate effect of all liabilities, conditions, failures, noncompliances, Environmental Claims, Releases, restrictions and presence of underground storage tanks, in each case of
the types described above, has had (unless same has ceased to exist), or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect (after giving effect to projected reserves for remediation expenses, the anticipated timing of remediation
expenses, potential insurance and indemnification recoveries and tax savings).

enter into an agreement or waiver extending any statute of limitations relating to the payment or collection of taxes of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or is aware of any circumstances that would cause the taxable years or other taxable
periods of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries not to be subject to the normally applicable statute of limitations, in each case except to the extent the liability for taxes of Holdings or such Subsidiary giving rise to any extension of any such
normally applicable statute of limitation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

material taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or profits, or upon any material properties belonging to it, prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto, and all material lawful claims for
sums that have become due and payable which, if unpaid, might become a Lien not otherwise permitted under Section 9.03(a); provided, that neither any Credit Agreement Party nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any such tax,
assessment, charge, levy or claim which is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings if it has maintained adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP.

cause to be done, all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and its material rights, franchises, authority to do business, licenses and patents, except for rights, franchises, authority to do business, licenses
and patents the loss of which (individually or in the aggregate) has not had (unless same has ceased to exist), and could not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that any transaction permitted

 8.07 Compliance with Environmental Laws. (a) (i) Each Credit Agreement Party will comply, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Program Affiliate to comply, in

such compliance, and will keep or cause to be kept all such Real Property free and clear of any Liens imposed pursuant to such Environmental Laws and (ii) neither any Credit Agreement Party nor any of its Subsidiaries will generate, use, treat,
store, Release or dispose of, or permit the generation, use, treatment, storage, release or disposal of, Hazardous Materials on any Real Property owned or operated by such Credit Agreement Party, any of its Subsidiaries or any Program Affiliate
other than in compliance with Environmental Laws and as required in connection with the normal business operations of such Credit Agreement Party, its Subsidiaries and the Program Affiliates, or transport or permit the transportation of Hazardous
Materials other than in compliance with Environmental Laws and as required in connection with the normal business operations of such Credit Agreement Party, its Subsidiaries and the Program Affiliates, unless the failure to comply with the
requirements specified in clause (i) or (ii) above, either individually or in the aggregate, has not had, and could not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. If any Credit Agreement Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any tenant
or occupant of any Real Property owned or operated by such Credit Agreement Party or any of its Subsidiaries causes or permits any intentional or unintentional act or omission resulting in the presence or Release of any Hazardous Material in a
quantity or concentration sufficient to require reporting or to trigger an obligation to undertake clean-up, removal or remedial action under applicable Environmental Laws, such Credit Agreement Party agrees to undertake, and/or to cause any of its
Subsidiaries, tenants or occupants to undertake, at their sole expense, any clean up, removal, remedial or other action required pursuant to Environmental Laws to remove and clean up any Hazardous Materials from any Real Property except where the
failure to do so has not had (unless same has ceased to exist), and could not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect; provided that neither any Credit Agreement Party nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to
undertake any clean up, removal, remedial or other action while the requirement to undertake such clean up, removal, remedial or other action is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings so long as it has maintained adequate reserves
with respect to such clean up, removal, redial or other action to the extent required in accordance with GAAP. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 8.07(a), no Credit Agreement Party shall be required by this Section to exercise any degree
of control over the operations of any of its Subsidiaries or any Program Affiliate that could reasonably be construed under applicable Environmental Law to make such Credit Agreement Party liable for Environmental Claims arising from or causally
related to the Real Property or operations of such Subsidiary or Program Affiliate as an owner or an operator or upon any other basis. 
  
 (b) At the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, which request shall specify in reasonable detail the basis therefor, at
any time and from time to time, each Credit Agreement Party will provide, at its sole cost and expense, an environmental site assessment report concerning any Real Property now or hereafter owned or operated by such Credit Agreement Party, any of
its Subsidiaries or any Program Affiliate, prepared by an environmental consulting firm approved by the Administrative Agent, addressing the matters in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) below which gives rise to such request (or, in the case of a request
pursuant to following clause (i), addressing such matter as may be requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders) and estimating the reasonable range of the potential costs of any removal, remedial or other corrective action in
connection with any such matter, provided that in no event shall such request be made unless (i) an Event of Default has 

  

 -68- 








 
occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Lenders receive notice under Section 8.01(g) for any event for which notice is required to be delivered for any such
Real Property or (iii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders reasonably believe that there was a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in Section 7.17 or 8.07(a), and provided further that, with respect to any Real
Property owned or operated by any Program Affiliate, a Credit Agreement Party shall be required only to use commercially reasonable efforts to gain access to such property for the purpose of providing the report. If any Credit Agreement Party fails
to provide the same within 60 days after such request was made, the Administrative Agent may order the same, and each Credit Agreement Party shall grant and hereby grants, to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their agents access to such
Real Property owned or operated by any Credit Agreement Party or any of its Subsidiaries, and specifically grants the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their agents an irrevocable non-exclusive license, subject to the rights of tenants, to
undertake such an assessment, all at such Credit Agreement Party’s expense. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 8.07(b), no Credit Agreement Party shall be required by this Section to undertake any site assessment of any Real Property
of any Subsidiary or Program Affiliate if such activity could reasonably be construed to be a sufficient exercise of control over such entity or Real Property to make any such Credit Agreement Party liable for any Environmental Claims resulting from
the presence of Hazardous Materials on such Real Property.

Holdings, any Subsidiary of Holdings or any ERISA Affiliate with respect to a Plan, a Multiemployer Plan or Foreign Pension Plan has not been timely made unless the failure was de minimus and was cured before notice is required under this Section;

 (c) Each Credit Agreement Party agrees that
each action required above by this Section 8.11 shall be completed as soon as possible, but in no event later than 90 days after such action is either requested to be taken by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders or
required to be taken by the Credit Agreement Parties and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.11; provided that in no event will any Credit Agreement Party or any of its Subsidiaries be required to take any

regulation, guideline or order (any such appraisal a “Required Appraisal”) are or were required to be obtained, or should be obtained, in connection with any Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, then, within 90 days after
receiving written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, the Credit Agreement Parties shall cause such Required Appraisal to be delivered, at the expense of the Credit Agreement Parties, to the
Administrative Agent, which Required Appraisal, and the respective appraiser, shall be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

official pronouncements issued or promulgated thereunder, counsel for the Borrower reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent does not within 30 days after a request from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders deliver evidence, in
form and substance mutually satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, with respect to any Foreign Subsidiary (and in the case of clause (i) below, any Foreign Unrestricted Subsidiary) of the Borrower which has not already had all of
its Equity Interests pledged pursuant to the U.S. Pledge Agreement, the Quebec Pledge Agreement or the Mexican Pledge Agreement, as applicable, to secure all of the Obligations (as defined in the respective Pledge Agreement) that (i) a pledge of
more than 66-2/3% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Equity Interests of such Foreign Subsidiary (or Foreign Unrestricted Subsidiary) entitled to vote, (ii) the entering into by such Foreign Subsidiary of a security agreement in
substantially the form of the Security Agreement, (iii) the entering into by such Foreign Subsidiary of a pledge agreement in substantially the form of the U.S. Pledge Agreement and (iv) the entering into by such Foreign Subsidiary of a guaranty in
substantially the form of the Subsidiaries Guaranty, in any such case could reasonably be expected to cause (I) the undistributed earnings of such Foreign Subsidiary (or Foreign Unrestricted Subsidiary) as determined for Federal income tax purposes
to be treated as a deemed dividend to such Foreign Subsidiary’s (or Foreign Unrestricted Subsidiary’s) United States parent for Federal income tax purposes or (II) other material adverse Federal income tax consequences to the Credit
Parties, 

  

 -72- 








 
then in the case of a failure to deliver the evidence described in clause (i) above, that portion of such Foreign Subsidiary’s (or Foreign Unrestricted
Subsidiary’s, as the case may be) outstanding Equity Interests so issued by such Foreign Subsidiary (or Foreign Unrestricted Subsidiary, as the case may be), in each case not theretofore pledged pursuant to a U.S. Pledge Agreement, the Quebec
Pledge Agreement or the Mexican Pledge Agreement, as applicable, to secure all of the Obligations (as defined in the respective Pledge Agreement), shall be pledged to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors pursuant to the U.S.
Pledge Agreement, the Quebec Pledge Agreement or the Mexican Pledge Agreement, as applicable (or another pledge agreement in substantially similar form, if needed), and in the case of a failure to deliver the evidence described in clause (ii) or
(iii) above, such Foreign Subsidiary (to the extent same is a Wholly-Owned Foreign Subsidiary) shall execute and deliver the Security Agreement (or another security agreement in substantially similar form, if needed) or the U.S. Pledge Agreement (or
another pledge agreement in substantially similar form, if needed), as the case may be, granting to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors a security interest in all of such Foreign Subsidiary’s assets or Equity Interests
and promissory notes owned by such Foreign Subsidiary, as the case may be, and securing the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Documents and under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement and, in the event the
Subsidiaries Guaranty shall have been executed by such Foreign Subsidiary, the obligations of such Foreign Subsidiary thereunder, and in the case of a failure to deliver the evidence described in clause (iv) above, such Foreign Subsidiary (to the
extent same is a Wholly-Owned Foreign Subsidiary) shall execute and deliver the Subsidiaries Guaranty (or another guaranty in substantially similar form, if needed), guaranteeing the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Documents and under
any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement, in each case to the extent that the entering into of such Security Agreement, the U.S. Pledge Agreement or the Subsidiaries Guaranty (or substantially similar document) is permitted
by the laws of the respective foreign jurisdiction and with all documents delivered pursuant to this Section 8.12 to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent. 
  
 8.13 Performance of Obligations. Each Credit Agreement Party will, and
will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, perform all of its obligations under the terms of each mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, loan agreement or credit agreement and each other material agreement, contract or instrument by which it is bound,
except such non-performances as, individually or in the aggregate, have not had (unless same has ceased to exist), and could not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 8.14 Use of Proceeds. Holdings will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, use the proceeds of the Loans for
the purposes specified in Section 7.05.

Acquisitions, so long as (in each case except to the extent the Required Lenders otherwise specifically agree in writing in the case of a specific Permitted Acquisition): (i) no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence at the time of the
consummation of the proposed Permitted Acquisition or immediately after giving effect thereto; (ii) the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at least 5 Business Days’ prior written notice of any 

  

 -73- 








 
Permitted Acquisition; (iii) calculations are made by the Borrower of compliance with the covenants contained in Sections 9.09 and 9.10 (in each case, giving
effect to the last sentence appearing therein) for the Calculation Period most recently ended prior to the date of such Permitted Acquisition, on a Pro Forma Basis as if the respective Permitted Acquisition (as well as all other
Permitted Acquisitions theretofore consummated after the first day of such Calculation Period) had occurred on the first day of such Calculation Period, and such recalculations shall show that such financial covenants would have been complied with
if the Permitted Acquisition had occurred on the first day of such Calculation Period (for this purpose, if the first day of the respective Calculation Period occurs prior to the Initial Borrowing Date, calculated as if the covenants contained in
said Sections 9.09 and 9.10 (in each case, giving effect to the last sentence appearing therein) had been applicable from the first day of the Calculation Period); (iv) based on good faith projections prepared by the Borrower for the period from the
date of the consummation of the Permitted Acquisition to the date which is one year thereafter, the level of financial performance measured by the covenants set forth in Sections 9.09 and 9.10 (in each case, giving effect to the last sentence
appearing therein) shall be better than or equal to such level as would be required to provide that no Default or Event of Default would exist under the financial covenants contained in Sections 9.09 and 9.10 (in each case, giving effect to the last
sentence appearing therein) through the date which is one year from the date of the consummation of the respective Permitted Acquisition; (v) the Maximum Permitted Consideration payable in connection with the proposed Permitted Acquisition
(exclusive of the aggregate liquidation preference or fair market value, as applicable, of any Equity Interest issued by Holdings as consideration in connection with such Permitted Acquisition) does not exceed $20,000,000; (vi) all representations
and warranties contained herein and in the other Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the date of such Permitted Acquisition
(both before and after giving effect thereto), unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; (vii) the Borrower
provides to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as soon as available but not later than 5 Business Days after the execution thereof, a copy of any executed purchase agreement or similar agreement with respect to such Permitted Acquisition;

Acquisitions for which such purchase price adjustments may be required to be made) and all capital expenditures (and the financing thereof) reasonably anticipated by the Borrower to be made in the business acquired pursuant to such Permitted
Acquisition within the 90-day period (such period for any Permitted Acquisition, a “Post-Closing Period”) following such Permitted Acquisition (and in the businesses acquired pursuant to all other Permitted Acquisitions with
Post-Closing Periods ended during the Post-Closing Period of such Permitted Acquisition), the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment shall equal or exceed $15,000,000; and (ix) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an
officer’s certificate executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, certifying to the best of his knowledge, compliance with the requirements of preceding clauses (i) through (viii), inclusive, and containing the calculations required by

Permitted Consideration paid in 

  

 -74- 








 
connection with the proposed Permitted Acquisition, when combined with the Maximum Permitted Consideration paid in connection with all other Permitted

the officer’s certificate otherwise required to be delivered pursuant to clause (ix) above shall instead be delivered to the Administrative Agent within 45 days following the end of the fiscal quarter in which such Permitted Acquisition is
consummated. 
  
 (b) At the time of each Permitted Acquisition
involving the creation or acquisition of a Subsidiary, or the acquisition of capital stock or other Equity Interests of any Person, the capital stock or other Equity Interests thereof created or acquired in connection with such Permitted Acquisition

 (d) The consummation of each Permitted Acquisition shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that
the certifications by the Borrower (or by one or more of its Authorized Officers) pursuant to Section 8.15(a) are true and correct and that all conditions thereto have been satisfied and that same is permitted in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, which representation and warranty shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty for all purposes hereunder, including, without limitation, Sections 6 and 10.

bank account of any Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be commingled with any bank account of any Credit Agreement Party or any of its Subsidiaries. Any financial statements distributed to any creditors of any Unrestricted Subsidiary shall clearly
establish or indicate the Company separateness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary from each Credit Agreement Party and its Subsidiaries. Finally, neither any Credit Agreement Party nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action, or conduct its
affairs in a manner, which is likely to result in the Company existence of such Credit Agreement Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Unrestricted Subsidiaries being ignored, or in the assets and liabilities of the such Credit Agreement Party or any
of its Subsidiaries being substantively consolidated with those of any other such Person or any Unrestricted Subsidiary in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding. 
  

 -75- 








 (b) Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action, or conduct its affairs in a
manner, which is likely to result in the assets and liabilities of any Credit Party being substantively consolidated with those of any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding. Holdings shall not permit
any cash of any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary and any Credit Party to be commingled in any bank account.

the definition of “Redemption Date” set forth in Section 8.17(b) below). 
  
 (b) On the later to occur of (x) December 15, 2003 and (y) the first Business Day that is 30 or more days following the date of the mailing of the Irrevocable Notices of Redemption (such later date, the
“Redemption Date”), Holdings and/or the Borrower, as applicable, shall (x) redeem all of the Existing Senior Notes To Be Refinanced pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms of, the call provisions of the respective Existing
Senior Notes Documents and (y) pay all accrued and unpaid interest and related call premiums (such related call premiums not to exceed $4.0 million) in respect of the Existing Senior Notes To Be Refinanced (collectively, the “Existing Senior

 (c) As soon as practicable
following the Redemption Date (but in any event within 15 days following such date or such later date as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), the Administrative Agent shall have received evidence of the discharge of the
Existing Senior Notes To Be Refinanced (and all obligations under the indentures governing the same relating to the Existing Senior Notes To Be Refinanced) from the trustees for the Existing Senior Notes To Be Refinanced, which evidence shall be in
form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (it being understood that the Existing 2006 Senior Subordinated Notes Indenture shall remain in place after giving effect to the Existing Senior Notes Refinancing and shall govern the
Existing 2006 Floating Rate Senior Subordinated Notes until same are repaid in full). 
  
 8.18 Margin Regulations. Holdings will use its best efforts so that at all times the fair market value of all Margin Stock owned by Holdings and its Subsidiaries (other than capital stock of Holdings held in
treasury) shall not exceed $7,500,000. So long as fair market value of all Margin Stock at any time owned by Holdings and its Subsidiaries (other than capital stock of 

  

 -76- 








 
Holdings held in treasury) does not exceed $7,500,000, such Margin Stock will not constitute Collateral and no security interest shall be granted therein
pursuant to any Credit Document, provided that if at any time the fair market value of all Margin Stock owned by Holdings and its Subsidiaries (other than capital stock of Holdings held in treasury) exceeds $7,500,000, then (x) all Margin
Stock owned by the Credit Parties (other than capital stock of Holdings held in treasury) shall be pledged, and delivered for pledge, pursuant to the U.S. Pledge Agreement and (y) Holdings will execute and deliver to the Lenders appropriate
completed forms (including, without limitation, Forms G-3 and U-1, as appropriate) establishing compliance with Regulations T, U and X. If at any time any Margin Stock is required to be pledged as a result of the provisions of the immediately
preceding sentence, repayments of outstanding Obligations shall be required, and subsequent Credit Events shall be permitted, only in compliance with the applicable provisions of Regulations T, U and X.

covenants and agrees that as of the Initial Borrowing Date and thereafter for so long as this Agreement is in effect and until the Total Commitment has terminated, no Letters of Credit or Notes are outstanding and the Loans, together with interest,

 12.04 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and
shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, facsimile, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation reasonably
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to Holdings or any of their respective
Subsidiaries), independent accountants and other experts selected by it. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or
concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to 

  

 -151- 








 
take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders. 
  
 12.05 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or
Event of Default unless such Agent has actually received notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that
any Agent receives such a notice, such Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Agents shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders;
provided, that, unless and until any Agent, shall have received such directions, such Agent, may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it
shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. 
  
 12.06 Nonreliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or
warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent to any Lender. Each Lender
represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business,
assets, operations, property, financial and other condition, prospects and creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it
will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not
taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other condition, prospects and creditworthiness of Holdings and its
Subsidiaries. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial and other condition, prospects or creditworthiness of Holdings
or any of its Subsidiaries which may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates. 
  
 12.07 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such ratably according with its
“percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders at such time or, if the Commitments have terminated and all Loans have been repaid in full, as determined immediately prior to such termination and repayment (with such
“percentages” to be determined as if there are no Defaulting Lenders), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, reasonable expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted 

  

 -152- 








 
against such Agent in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any documents
contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, but only to the extent that any of the foregoing is not paid by
Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, that no Lender shall be liable to any Agent for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose
shall, in the opinion of such Agent be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. The agreements in this
Section 12.07 shall survive the payment of all Obligations. 
  
 12.08 Agents in their Individual Capacities. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings and its Subsidiaries as though such Agent were not an Agent
hereunder. With respect to the Loans made by it and all Obligations owing to it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent and the terms
“Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity. 
  
 12.09 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a
written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving
such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or indorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor. 
  
 12.10 Resignation of the Agents. (a) The Administrative Agent may
resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at any time by giving 30 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and, unless a Default or an Event of Default under Section
10.05 then exists, the Borrower. Any such resignation by an Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation (if applicable) as a Letter of Credit Issuer and Swingline Lender, in which case the resigning Agent (x) shall not be required to issue
any further Letters of Credit or make any additional Swingline Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by it, or
Swingline Loans made by it, prior to the date of such resignation. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below. 
  
 (b) Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall appoint a
successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. 
  

 -153- 








 (c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 30 Business Day
period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder
until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. 
  
 (d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by the 30th Business Day after the date such notice of
resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other
Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. 
  
 (e) Each Co-Syndication Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at any
time by giving five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders. Such resignation shall take effect at the end of such five Business Day period. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation of such Co-Syndication Agent, the Administrative
Agent shall assume all of the functions and duties of such Co-Syndication Agent hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents. 
  
 (f) The Documentation Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at any time
by giving five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders. Such resignation shall take effect at the end of such five Business Day period. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation of the Documentation Agent, the Administrative Agent
shall assume all of the functions and duties of the Documentation Agent hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents. 
  
 (g) Upon a resignation of any Agent pursuant to this Section 12.10, such Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents and the provisions of this Section 12 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as such Agent. 
  
 12.11 Appointment of Collateral Agent as Administrator (Mexico). (a) Each of the Lenders hereby authorizes the
Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and for its benefit and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as are delegated to such Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with
powers as are reasonably incidentally thereto. Without prejudice to the foregoing, each of the Lenders hereby grants in favor of the Collateral Agent a mandate (comisión mercantil), as referred to in Article 273 of the Mexican Code of
Commerce (Código de Comercio), pursuant to which the Collateral Agent is granted full authority to carry out, on behalf and for the benefit of the Lenders, any and all actions necessary to: (i) comply with and perform its obligations
and duties under the Mexican Pledge Agreement, including those arising under this Agreement; and (ii) execute and deliver the Mexican Pledge Agreement and to perform each and every obligation and duty set forth therein. 
  

 -154- 








 (b) If required by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, each Lender hereby
agrees to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, and register every pubic registry in Mexico in which such registration is necessary, a notarized Mexican public deed appointing the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and any officer or agent
thereof, as its attorney-in-fact for purposes of exercising the rights and remedies of such party under this Agreement, the Mexican Pledge Agreement and/or any other Credit Document which is required to be filed, presented or enforced before a
Mexican court or in connection with any filing, presentment or enforcement before a Mexican court. 
  
 SECTION 13. Miscellaneous. 
  
 13.01 Payment of Expenses, etc. The Credit Agreement Parties jointly and severally agree to: (i) pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses of the Agents (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of White & Case LLP and local counsel) in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of the Credit Documents and the documents
and instruments referred to therein and any amendment, waiver or consent relating thereto and in connection with the Agents’ syndication efforts with respect to this Agreement; (ii) pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each
Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and each of the Lenders in connection with the enforcement of the Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein and, after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
protection of the rights of each Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and each of the Lenders thereunder (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including in-house counsel) for each Agent, for each Letter of
Credit Issuer and for each of the Lenders); (iii) pay and hold each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and future stamp and other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters and save each of the Lenders harmless
from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the extent attributable to such Lender) to pay such taxes; and (iv) indemnify each Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Letter of Credit
Issuer and each Lender, their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, trustees and agents from and hold each of them harmless against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of, (a) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not any Agent, the Collateral
Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender is a party thereto and whether or not any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding is between or among any Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender, any Credit
Party or any third Person or otherwise) related to the entering into and/or performance of this Agreement or any other Document or the use of the proceeds of any Loans hereunder or any drawing on any Letter of Credit or the Transaction or the
consummation of any other transactions contemplated in any Document (but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be
indemnified, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), or (b) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water or groundwater or on the surface or subsurface of any
Real Property or any Environmental Claim, in each case, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and independent consultants incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding.
To the extent that the undertaking to 

  

 -155- 








 
indemnify, pay or hold harmless any Agent or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public
policy, the Credit Agreement Parties jointly and severally agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. No person to be indemnified shall be
liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through Intralinks or other similar transmission systems in connection with this Agreement. All amounts due under this Section 13.01 shall be
payable within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefore. The agreements in this Section 13.01 shall survive the payment of all Obligations. 
  
 13.02 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any
such rights, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to Holdings or
any of its Subsidiaries or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Agent, such
Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Agent, such Letter of Credit Issuer and such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries
against and on account of the Obligations of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to such Agent, such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests
in Obligations of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 13.06(b), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective
of whether or not such Agent, such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. 
  
 13.03 Notices. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for
hereunder shall be in writing (including telegraphic, telex, facsimile, cable, Internet or electronic mail communication) and mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, cabled or delivered, if to any Credit Party, at the address specified opposite
its signature below or in the other relevant Credit Documents, as the case may be; if to any Lender, at its address specified for such Lender on Schedule II; or, at such other address as shall be designated by any party in a written notice to the
other parties hereto. All such notices and communications shall be mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied or cabled or sent by overnight courier, and shall be effective when received. Notwithstanding the foregoing, electronic mail and Internet and
intranet websites may be used only to distribute routine communications, such as financial statements and other information as provided in Section 8.01, and to distribute Credit Documents for execution by the parties thereto, and may not be used for
any other purpose, unless agreed by Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (b) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Administrative Agent or CSFB (in the case of a Borrowing of Swingline
Loans) or any Letter of Credit Issuer (in the case of the issuance of a Letter of Credit), as the case may be, may prior to receipt of written confirmation act without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice, believed by the 

  

 -156- 








 
Administrative Agent or CSFB or any Letter of Credit Issuer in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower. In each such case, the Borrower
hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s, CSFB’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice. 
  
 13.04 Benefit of Agreement. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable
by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, no Credit Agreement Party may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the
prior written consent of each of the Lenders and, provided further, that, although any Lender may grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or
assign all or any portion of its Commitments or Loans hereunder except as provided in Section 13.04(b)) and the participant shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and, provided further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any
participation under which the participant shall have direct or indirect rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled
maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees
thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in
effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment or of a mandatory repayment of Loans shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, that an increase
in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof and that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement
shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Agreement Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release
all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Security Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation,
the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in
favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by any Credit Agreement Party hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or
a portion of its Revolving Loan Commitment (and related outstanding Obligations hereunder) and/or its outstanding Term Loans (and if prior to the termination of the Total Term Loan Commitment, Term Loan Commitments) to (i) its parent company and/or
any affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company, (ii) one or more Lenders or (iii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans or that manages (directly or through an Affiliate)
any fund that invests in bank loans, any fund that invests in bank loans and is managed by the same investment advisor as a Lender, by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or by a Lender, as the case may 

  

 -157- 








 
be, or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $1,000,000 in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such
Revolving Loan Commitments (and related outstanding Obligations hereunder) and outstanding principal amount of Term Loans (and if prior to the termination of the Total Term Loan Commitment, Term Loan Commitments) to one or more Eligible Transferees
(treating (x) any fund that invests in bank loans and (y) any other fund that invests in bank loans and is managed by the same investment advisor as such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor, as a single Eligible Transferee), each of
which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that, (i) at such time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments and/or outstanding Term
Loans, as the case may be, of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) following such assignment and upon the request of the assigning and/or assignee Lender and the surrender of any old Notes of the respective assigning Lender (or the
furnishing of a standard indemnity letter from the respective assigning Lender in respect of any lost Notes reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), new Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning
Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 1.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments and/or outstanding Term Loans, as the case may be, (iii) the consent of the
Administrative Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) (such consent, in any such case, not to be reasonably withheld or delayed), (iv) so long as no Specified Default and no Event of Default is
then in existence, the Borrower shall be required in connection with any assignment to an Eligible Transferee pursuant to clause (y) of this Section 13.04(b) (which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required in connection with assignments by CSFB pursuant to clause (y) of this Section 13.04(b) consummated within 45 days of the Initial Borrowing Date to financial institutions
previously identified by CSFB to the Borrower, (v) the consent of each Letter of Credit Issuer shall be required in connection with any assignment of a Revolving Loan Commitment (and related outstanding Obligations) pursuant to this Section 13.04(b)
(which consent, in any such case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (vi) the parties to each such assignment shall (A) electronically execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement by an
electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which initially shall be Clear Par, LLC) or (B) manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and (vii) the Administrative Agent
shall receive at the time of each assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 (except to the extent that such assignment is settled electronically as contemplated by preceding clause
(vi)(A)) and, provided further, that such transfer or assignment will not be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 13.17. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b),
the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and/or outstanding Term Loans. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender
hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the
appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable a Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate) described in Section 4.04(b). To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment and outstanding
Obligations 

  

 -158- 








 
pursuant to Section 1.13 or this Section 13.04(b) would, due to circumstances existing at the time of such assignment (other than, for avoidance of doubt,
the corporate nature of such Lender as a bank as opposed to a fund), result in increased costs under Section 1.10, 1.11, 2.05 or 4.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not
be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained above, at any time after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, if any Revolving Loans or Letters of Credit remain outstanding, assignments may be made as provided above, except that the respective assignment
shall be of a portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans of the respective RL Lender and its participation in Letters of Credit and its obligation to make Mandatory Borrowings, although any such assignment effected after the termination of the Total
Revolving Loan Commitment shall not release the assigning RL Lender from its obligations as a Participant with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit or to fund its share of any Mandatory Borrowing (although the respective assignee may agree, as
between itself and the respective assigning RL Lender, that it shall be responsible for such amounts). Without the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Credit-Linked Deposit funded by any PF Lender shall not be released in connection with any
assignment of its PF Letter of Credit Commitment, but shall instead be purchased by the relevant assignee and continue to be held for application (if not already applied) pursuant to Section 2.03(c) in respect of such assignee’s obligations
under the PF Letter of Credit Commitment assigned to it. 
  
 (c)
Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender or CSFB from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with notice to the
Administrative Agent, any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Notes or Loans to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee or its securityholders. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release the
transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder and in no event shall any assignee or pledgee by considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit any action hereunder. 
  
 13.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part
of any Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between any Credit Party and any Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege
hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit
Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Agents, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders to any other or further action in any
circumstances without notice or demand. 
  
 13.06 Payments Pro
Rata. (a) The Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of any Credit Party in respect of any Obligations of such Credit Party, it shall, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, 

  

 -159- 








 
distribute such payment to the Lenders (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of such payment)
pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received. 
  
 (b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the
exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise) which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans,
Unpaid Drawings or Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed
and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party
to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such amount; provided, that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be
rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. 
  
 13.07 Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by Holdings to the Lenders); provided, that except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, all computations determining the Adjusted Total Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio and compliance with Sections 4.02, 8.15 and 9, including definitions used therein shall, in each case, utilize accounting principles and policies in
effect at the time of the preparation of, and in conformity with those used to prepare, the December 31, 2002 financial statements of Holdings delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.10(b); provided further, that (i) to the extent
expressly required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, certain calculations shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis, (ii) any determination of Consolidated Interest Expense for any portion of any Test Period which ends prior to
the Initial Borrowing Date shall be calculated in accordance with the definition of Test Period contained herein and (iii) for purposes of calculating the Applicable Margins, financial ratios, financial terms, all covenants and related definitions,
all such calculations based on the operations of Holdings and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis shall be made without giving effect to the operations of any Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 
  
 (b) All computations of interest and Fees hereunder shall be made on the
actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. 
  
 13.08
Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Credit Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and, by
execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Credit Agreement Party hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of 

  

 -160- 








 
its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each Credit Agreement Party hereby further irrevocably waives any
claim that any such courts lack jurisdiction over such Credit Agreement Party, and agrees not to plead or claim, in any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Credit Document brought in any of the aforesaid courts,
that any such court lacks jurisdiction over such Credit Agreement Party. Each Credit Agreement Party further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified

Commitments), to replace only the respective Tranche of Commitments and/or related Obligations of the respective non-consenting Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s individual consent) with one or more Replacement Lenders
pursuant to Section 1.13 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment (if such
Lender’s consent is required as a result of its Revolving Loan Commitment), PF Letter of Credit Commitment (if such Lender’s consent is required as a result of its PF Letter of Credit Commitment) and/or repay each Tranche of outstanding

Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B), the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent
thereto, provided further, that the Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Commitment or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required
consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 13.12(a).

1.11, 2.05, 4.04, 12.07 and 13.01, shall, subject to the provisions of Section 13.18 (to the extent applicable), survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making and repayment of the Loans. 
  
 13.14 Domicile of Loans and Commitments. Each Lender may transfer and
carry its Loans and/or Commitments at, to or for the account of any branch office, subsidiary or affiliate of such Lender; provided, that the Borrower shall not be responsible for costs arising under Section 1.10, 1.11, 2.05 or 4.04 resulting
from any such transfer (other than a transfer pursuant to Section 1.12) to the extent such costs would not otherwise be applicable to such Lender in the absence of such transfer. 
  
 13.15 Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it will use its reasonable efforts not to disclose without
the prior consent of Holdings (other than to its directors, trustees, employees, officers, auditors, counsel or other professional advisors, to affiliates or to another Lender if the Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its sole
discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided that such persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.15 to the same extent as such Lender) any information with respect to Holdings
or any of its Subsidiaries which is furnished by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that any Lender may disclose any such information (a) which is publicly known at the time of the disclosure or which
has become generally available to the public, (b) as may be required or appropriate (x) in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to
the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors or (y) in connection with any request or requirement of any such regulatory body
(including any securities exchange or self-regulatory organization), (c) as may be required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation or other legal process, (d) to comply with any law, order,
regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, and (e) to any prospective transferee in connection with any contemplated transfer of any of the Notes or any interest therein by such Lender; provided, that such prospective transferee agrees
to be bound by this Section 13.15 to the same extent as such Lender. 
  
 (b) Each Credit Agreement Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may share with any of its affiliates any information related to such Credit Agreement Party or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any
nonpublic customer information regarding the creditworthiness of such Credit Agreement Party and its Subsidiaries), provided that such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.15 to the same extent as such Lender.

  
 (c) Each Credit Party hereby represents and acknowledges that,
to the best of its knowledge, neither any Agent nor any Lender, nor any employees or agents of, or other persons affiliated with, any Agent or any Lender, have directly or indirectly made or provided any statement (oral or written) to such Credit
Party or to any of its employees or agents, or other persons affiliated with or related to such Credit Party (or, so far as such Credit Party is aware, to any other person), as to the potential tax consequences of the Transaction. 
  

 -164- 








 (d) Neither the Agents nor the Lenders provide accounting, tax or legal advice. Notwithstanding any
express or implied claims of exclusivity or proprietary rights, each Credit Party, each Agent and each Lender hereby agree and acknowledge that each Credit Party, each Agent and each Lender (and each of their employees, representatives or other
agents) are authorized to disclose to any and all persons, beginning immediately upon commencement of their discussions and without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction, and all materials of any kind
(including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any Credit Party, any Agent or any Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. In this regard, each Credit Party, each Agent and each Lender acknowledge and agree that the
disclosure of the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction is not limited in any way by an express or implied understanding or agreement, oral or written (whether or not such understanding or agreement is legally binding). For purposes of
this authorization, “tax” means United States Federal income tax, “tax treatment” means the purported or claimed Federal income tax treatment of the transaction, and “tax structure” means any fact that may be relevant
to understanding the purported or claimed Federal income tax treatment of the transaction. This paragraph is intended to reflect the understanding of each Credit Party, each Agent and each Lender that the Transaction is not a “confidential
transaction” as that phrase is used in Treasury Regulation § 1.6011-4(b)(3)(i), and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith. Nothing herein is intended to imply that any of each Credit Party, each Agent and each Lender made
or provided a statement, oral or written, to, or for the benefit of, any of each other as to any potential tax consequences that are related to, or may result from, the Transaction. 
  
 13.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. 
  
 13.17 Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as the Borrower’s agent, solely
for purposes of this Section 13.17, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders, the PF Unpaid Drawings that the
Borrower has elected to keep outstanding in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the amount of any principal or interest due and payable with respect to such Loans and each repayment in respect of the principal amount, and related interest
amounts of the Loans of each Lender and in respect of each PF Unpaid Drawing, and the names of each of the Letter of Credit Issuers, the amount that is due and payable with respect to the Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuers,
and paid by the Borrower to, or for the account of, each Letter of Credit Issuer, including the amount of Letter of Credit Outstandings (specifying the amount of any Unpaid Drawings) due and payable to a Letter of Credit Issuer and each repayment in
respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans or PF Unpaid Drawings. With respect to any
Lender, the transfer of any Commitment of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan or PF Unpaid Drawing shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent
with respect to ownership of such Commitments and Loans or PF Unpaid Drawings and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans or 

  

 -165- 








 
PF Unpaid Drawings shall remain owing to the transferor. Subject to the provisions of Section 1.13, the registration of assignment or transfer of all or part
of any Commitment and Loans or PF Unpaid Drawings shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to
Section 13.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Commitment and/or Loan, or as soon thereafter as
practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note evidencing such Commitment and/or Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or
the new Lender. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in
performing its duties under this Section 13.17. 
  
 13.18
Limitation on Additional Amounts, etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 1.10, 1.11, 2.05 or 4.04 of this Agreement, unless a Lender gives notice to the Borrower that it is obligated to pay an amount under such
Section within six months after the later of (x) the date the Lender incurs the respective increased costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital or (y) the date such Lender
has actual knowledge of its incurrence of the respective increased costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, then such Lender shall only be entitled to be compensated
for such amount by the Borrower pursuant to said Section 1.10, 1.11, 2.05 or 4.04, as the case may be, to the extent of the costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital that
are incurred or suffered on or after the date which occurs six months prior to such Lender giving notice to the Borrower that it is obligated to pay the respective amounts pursuant to said Section 1.10, 1.11, 2.05 or 4.04, as the case may be. This
Section 13.18 shall have no applicability to any Section of this Agreement other than said Sections 1.10, 1.11, 2.05 and 4.04.

acknowledge and agree that:

items set forth in Section 5.10(e), shall be completed. 
  

 -166- 








 (d) Security Documents. Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall be required to take
the actions specified in Part A of Schedule XV as promptly as practicable, and in any event within the time periods set forth in Part A of said Schedule XV. The provisions of Part A of said Schedule XV shall be deemed incorporated by reference
herein as fully as if set forth herein in its entirety. 
  
 (e) Lien Searches with respect to Tractor Trailers. Within 30 days following the Initial Borrowing Date (or such later date as the Collateral Agent shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion), Holdings
and its Subsidiaries shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent certified copies of lien searches with respect to the Tractor Trailers owned by Holdings and its Subsidiaries from the Illinois Department of Motor Vehicles confirming the absence
of any Liens over such Tractor Trailers (other than Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent), provided however, that, in the event any such lien search evidences a Lien in favor of a Person other than the Collateral Agent (or fails
properly to note a security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent), Holdings and its respective Subsidiary shall have an additional 90 days to cure such defect (or such additional number of days as the Collateral Agent shall determine in its
sole and absolute discretion); provided further that for purposes of clarification, Holdings and its respective Subsidiary shall have no obligation to take any action with respect to any Excluded Unperfected Tractor Trailer Collateral.

the Pledgee’s security interest therein. 
  
 (g) Certain Instruments. Within 7 days following the Initial Borrowing Date, the Pledgors shall physically deliver each of the Instruments set forth on Schedule D to the U.S. Pledge Agreement to the extent such Instruments are not
otherwise designated as Non-Deliverable Notes pursuant thereto, and provide “control” of such Instruments (other than in respect of the Non-Deliverable Notes) within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the UCC, and to take such further acts
required, if any, to perfect the Pledgee’s security interest therein. 
  
 All provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including, without limitation, all conditions precedent, representations, warranties, covenants, events of default and other agreements herein
and therein) shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing (and to permit the taking of the actions described above within the time periods, required above, rather than as otherwise provided in the Credit Documents);
provided, that (x) to the extent any representation and warranty would not be true because the foregoing actions were not taken on the Initial Borrowing Date, the respective 

  

 -167- 








 
representation and warranty shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects at the time the respective action is taken (or was required to
be taken) in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.19, (y) all representations and warranties relating to the Collateral Documents shall be required to be true immediately after the actions required to be taken by Section 13.19
have been taken (or were required to be taken) and (z) the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion may extend any of the time periods set forth in this Section 13.19, except that, other than for purposes of Section 13.19(e) above,
no such time period may be extended beyond the 90th day following the Initial Borrowing Date. The acceptance of the benefits of the Loans shall constitute a representation, warranty and covenant by each Credit Agreement Party to each of the Lenders
that the actions required pursuant to this Section 13.19 will be, or have been, taken within the relevant time periods referred to in this Section 13.19 and that, at such time, all representations and warranties contained in this Credit Agreement
and the other Credit Documents shall then be true and correct without any modification pursuant to this Section 13.19. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the failure to take any of the actions required above, within the relevant time
periods required above, shall give rise to an immediate Event of Default pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 14. Holdings Guaranty. 
  
 14.01 Holdings Guaranty. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and in recognition of the
direct benefits to be received by Holdings from the proceeds of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit, Holdings hereby agrees with the Lenders as follows: Holdings hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor
and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors. If any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed
Creditors becomes due and payable hereunder, Holdings unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand, together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Guaranteed Creditors in
collecting any of the Guaranteed Obligations. This Holdings Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. If claim is
ever made upon any Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any
judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including the Borrower),
then and in such event Holdings agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon Holdings, notwithstanding any revocation of this Holdings Guaranty or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the
Borrower, and Holdings shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee. 
  
 14.02 Bankruptcy. Additionally, Holdings unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors whether or not due or payable by the Borrower upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 10.05, and unconditionally
promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand. 
  

 -168- 








 14.03 Nature of Liability. The liability of Holdings hereunder is exclusive and independent of any
security for or other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations whether executed by Holdings, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of Holdings hereunder is not affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of
payment by the Borrower or by any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such
other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Borrower, or (e) any payment made to the Guaranteed Creditors on the Guaranteed Obligations which any such Guaranteed Creditor
repays to the Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and Holdings waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any
such proceeding. 
  
 14.04 Independent Obligation. No
invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any security therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense to this Holdings Guaranty, and this Holdings Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and
unconditional notwithstanding the occurrence of any event or the existence of any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor except payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. The
obligations of Holdings hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Holdings whether or not action is brought against
the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person and whether or not the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person be joined in any such action or actions. Holdings waives, to the full extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute
of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by the Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as
to Holdings. 
  
 14.05 Authorization. Holdings authorizes
the Guaranteed Creditors without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to: 
  
 (a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or
change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or
indirectly in respect thereof, and this Holdings Guaranty made shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered; 
  
 (b) take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise
deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly
in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset thereagainst; 
  

 -169- 








 (c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Borrower or others, or
otherwise act or refrain from acting; 
  
 (d)
release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, the Borrower or other obligors; 
  
 (e) settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder)
incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of the Borrower to its creditors other than the Guaranteed Creditors;

  
 (f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or
howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of the Borrower to the Guaranteed Creditors regardless of what liability or liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid; 
  
 (g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement, any other
Credit Document or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein or therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or 
  
 (h) take any other action which would, under otherwise
applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of Holdings from its liabilities under this Holdings Guaranty. 
  
 14.06 Reliance. It is not necessary for the Guaranteed Creditors to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Borrower or the officers, directors,
partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its or their behalf, and any Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder. 
  
 14.07 Subordination. Any of the indebtedness of the Borrower now or
hereafter owing to Holdings is hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower owing to the Guaranteed Creditors; and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness of the
Borrower to Holdings shall be collected, enforced and received by Holdings for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the Guaranteed Obligations of the
Borrower to the Guaranteed Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of Holdings under the other provisions of this Holdings Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by Holdings of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing
any of the indebtedness of the Borrower to Holdings, Holdings shall mark such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Holdings hereby agrees with
the Guaranteed Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Holdings Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all
Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.

 14.08 Waiver. (a) Holdings waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and
cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii)
pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Creditor’s power whatsoever. Holdings waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment in full of the Guaranteed
Obligations, based on or arising out of the disability of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the
liability of the Borrower other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by
one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed Creditors may have
against the Borrower or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Holdings hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid. Holdings waives any defense arising out of any
such election by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Holdings against the Borrower or any other party or any security. 

 
 (b) Holdings waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests
and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Holdings Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed
Obligations. Holdings assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the
nature, scope and extent of the risks which Holdings assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Guaranteed Creditors shall have no duty to advise Holdings of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks. 
  
 (c) Until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in
cash or Cash Equivalents, Holdings hereby waives all rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Holdings Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of
the Guaranteed Creditors against the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from the Borrower or any other guarantor which it may
at any time otherwise have as a result of this Holdings Guaranty. 
  
 (d) Holdings warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law of public policy,
such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law. 
  
 14.09 Payment. All payments made by Holdings pursuant to this Section 14 shall be made in Dollars. All payments made by Holdings pursuant to this Section 14 will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other
defense.
