such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact
made its share of the Loans available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from
and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by
the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such
amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan. 
 SECTION 2.07 Interest Elections. (a) Each Loan initially shall be of the
Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loan to a different Type or to
continue the initial Type of such Loan and, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Loans, in
which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding such Loans. 
 (b) To make an election pursuant to this
Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed election or
(ii) in the case of an ABR Loan, not later than 2:00 pm, New York City time, one Business Day before the date of the proposed election, of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such
telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by
the Borrower. 
  

 43 








 (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information:

 (i) the Loans to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to
different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated in accordance with clause (a) above (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each portion of such
Loans); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business
Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting Loan is to be an ABR Loan or a Eurodollar Loan; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Loan is a Eurodollar Loan, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which
shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 
 If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Loan
but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Loan. 
 (e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, then, unless such Loan is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Loan shall be converted to an ABR Loan. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no Loan may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Loan and (ii) unless
repaid, each Eurodollar Loan shall be converted to an ABR Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 SECTION 2.08
Reserved. 
 SECTION 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises
to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Maturity Date. 
 (b)
The Administrative Agent shall maintain a Register in accordance with Section 9.04(b)(iv). 
 (c) Any Lender may request that Loans made
by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a 

  

 44 








 
promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by
the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable
to the order of the payee named therein. 
 SECTION 2.10 Prepayment of Loans and Asset Sale Offer. (a) The Borrower shall
have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Loan in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section. 
 (b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and
shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Loan or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that a notice of prepayment of the Loans delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the
effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of
any such notice relating to a prepayment of Loans, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Loan pursuant to Section 2.10(a) shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000. Each prepayment shall be applied ratably to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Loans. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12. 

(c) If, at any time, the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds of the Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries shall exceed $10,000,000, within three
(3) Business Days of such date, an amount equal to the entire amount of such Excess Proceeds shall be offered (the “Asset Sale Offer”) to the Lenders and the Revolving Credit Facility Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance
with their respective Loans and Revolving Credit Facility Commitments, respectively, to be applied to prepay Loans and to the permanent reduction of the total Revolving Credit Facility Commitments, respectively, on the date that is 10 Business Days
after the making of such Asset Sale Offer. If a Lender or any such Revolving Credit Facility Lender does not accept such Asset Sale Offer within five Business Days of the making of such Asset Sale Offer by providing notice of its acceptance to the
Administrative Agent or the Revolving Credit Facility Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such amount may be used by the Borrower for any purposes not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement. 
 (d) If, at any time, a Change in Control shall have occurred, the Borrower shall, within one Business Day thereof, make an offer (the “Change in
Control Offer”) to prepay the Loans of all accepting Lenders on that date that is 10 Business Days after the making of such Change in Control Offer. The Loans of all Lenders that have so accepted such offer shall be prepaid on such tenth
Business Day. 
  

 45 








 (e) The application of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be made, first, to
Alternate Base Rate Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans. 
 SECTION 2.11 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay as and when due to
the Persons entitled thereto those fees set forth in that certain Fee Letter, dated June 26, 2008 between the Borrower, UBS Loan Finance LLC and UBS Securities LLC (the “Fee Letter”). No fees paid shall be refundable under any
circumstances. 
 SECTION 2.12 Interest. (a) ABR Loans shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable
Rate. 
 (b) Eurodollar Loans shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Eurodollar Loans plus
the Applicable Rate. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by
the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue
principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph
(a) of this Section. 
 (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and on
the Maturity Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount
repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be
payable on the effective date of such conversion. 
 (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except
that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for
the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.13 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a
Eurodollar Loan: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error)
that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or 
 (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining
their Loans (or its Loan) for such Interest Period, 
  

 46 








 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as
promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of
any ABR Loan to, or continuation of any Eurodollar Loan as, a Eurodollar Loan shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Loan, such Loan shall be made as an ABR Loan. 
 SECTION 2.14 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the
account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or 
 (ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 (b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company
could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such
Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the
Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right
to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the
Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs 

  

 47 








 
or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 SECTION 2.15 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result
of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in
any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a
Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had
such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert
or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid,
at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to
this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 SECTION 2.16 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear
of and without deduction for any Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) in the case of Indemnified Taxes (including Other Taxes), the sum payable shall be
increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes (including Other Taxes) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder 

  

 48 








 
(including such Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to make payment to the Administrative
Agent or such Lender pursuant to this Section in respect of penalties or interest attributable to any Indemnified Taxes if (i) written demand therefor has not been made by the Administrative Agent or such Lender within 90 days from the date on
which the Administrative Agent or such Lender knew of the imposition of Indemnified Taxes by the relevant Governmental Authority, or (ii) such penalties or interest are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender. After the Administrative Agent or such Lender learns of the imposition of Indemnified Taxes, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, will act in good faith to promptly notify the Borrower of
its obligations hereunder. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes (including Other Taxes) by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority and
in any event within 30 days of any such payment being made, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return
reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Each Foreign Lender
shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this
Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the
United States of America is a party; 
 (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI; or 
 (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code,
(x) a certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit I, or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent, to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN. 
  

 49 








 (f) Each Foreign Lender agrees to promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of any change
in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction or any certification previously provided to the Administrative Agent or the Borrower. 
 (g) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes (including Other
Taxes) as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender
and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid
over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to
such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any
other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower, the payment of which would place such Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than such Lender would have
been in if the additional amounts giving rise to such refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes had never been paid. 
 SECTION 2.17 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under
Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of
the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New
York, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the
appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing
interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. dollars. 
 (b) If
at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees
then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled
thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. 
  

 50 








 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment
in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender,
then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such
participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in
accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation
pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon
such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed
to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 (e) If any Lender shall fail
to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(b), 2.17(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 SECTION 2.18 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its
rights and obligations 

  

 51 








 
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or
reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower
hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b)
If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender
defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and
subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal
to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the
case of all other amounts) and (iii) such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such
Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 ARTICLE III.

 Representations and Warranties 
 The Borrower and Holdings each represents and warrants to the Lenders that: 
 SECTION 3.01 Organization; Powers. Each of
Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except
where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is
required. 
 SECTION 3.02 Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within the corporate or other organizational powers
of each of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational and, if required, stockholder action. Each of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents has been duly executed
and delivered by each of the Loan Parties party thereto and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 
  


 52 








 SECTION 3.03 Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require
any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (b) will not violate (i) any applicable law or
regulation or any order of any Governmental Authority except where such violation, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) the charter, by-laws or other organizational
documents of Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their
assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries except where such violation or default, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Liens granted pursuant to the Loan Documents). 
 SECTION 3.04 Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of Holdings and its
consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2007 (including the notes thereto) (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet”), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to the Administrative Agent, has been prepared giving effect (as if
such events had occurred on such date) to (i) the Loans to be made on the Closing Date and the use of proceeds thereof and any other Indebtedness to be issued on the Closing Date, and (ii) the payment of fees and expenses in connection
with the foregoing. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared based on the best information available to Holdings and the Borrower as of the date of delivery thereof, and presents fairly in all material respects on a pro forma basis the
estimated financial position of Holdings, the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2007, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date. 
 (b) The audited consolidated balance sheets of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2005, December 31, 2006 and
December 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from KPMG LLP, present fairly in all material respects the
consolidated financial condition of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended. The unaudited consolidated
balance sheet of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at March 31, 2008 and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the quarter ended on such date, present fairly in all material respects the
consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the quarter then ended. All such financial statements, including
the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). None of Holdings, the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has any material Guarantees, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange
transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph. During the period from December 31, 2007 to and including the date hereof there has been no
disposition by any of Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any material part of its business or property. 
  

 53 








 (c) Since December 31, 2007, there has been no material adverse change in the business, assets,
properties, liabilities (actual and contingent), operations or financial condition of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (other than (i) as shall have been disclosed in Holdings’ and the Borrowers’ public
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or (ii) as otherwise disclosed to the Lenders in writing, in each case prior to the date hereof). 
 SECTION 3.05 Litigation. (a) As of the Closing Date, all significant claims, actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of
Holdings or the Borrower, threatened against or affecting Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries are set forth on Schedule 3.05 hereto. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything set forth in Section 3.05(a) or Schedule 3.05, there are no material claims, actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against
or, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Borrower, threatened against or affecting Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination that could reasonably be expected,
individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions. 
 (c)
Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the status of the matters set forth on Schedule 3.05 that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to
result in, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.06 Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do
so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 SECTION 3.07 Investment Company Status. Neither Holdings, the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company
Act of 1940. 
 SECTION 3.08 Taxes. Each of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has (a) timely filed or caused to be
filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and all such Tax returns and reports are true and correct in all material respects, and (b) has paid or caused to be paid all material Taxes required to have been paid by it and all
material assessments received by it, except Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP.
Each of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP for all Taxes not yet due and 

  

 54 








 
payable. Each of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is unaware of any proposed or pending tax assessments, deficiencies or audits that could be
reasonably expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.09 ERISA. Borrower
and each of its ERISA Affiliates are in material compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Plan, and have performed all their
obligations under each Plan. Each Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that such Plan is so qualified and
nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which would cause such Plan to lose its qualified status. No liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the Internal Revenue Service, any Plan or any
trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by Borrower or any ERISA Affiliates. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each
Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $25,000,000 the fair market
value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date
of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $25,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the
actuarial report is available, the potential liability of Borrower and each of its ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential
liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA is $25,000,000. Borrower and each of its ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of
Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan. No such Multiemployer Plan is in
Reorganization or Insolvent. 
 SECTION 3.10 Federal Reserve Regulations. (a) None of Holdings, the Borrower or any of the
Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock. 
 (b) No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, (i) to purchase or carry Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for
the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock or to refund indebtedness originally incurred for such purpose, or (ii) for any purpose that violates the Margin Regulations. 
 SECTION 3.11 Title to Properties; Possession Under Leases. (a) Each of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has good and valid
record fee simple title to (in the case of owned real property), or good title to or valid leasehold interests in, or easements or other limited property interests in, or has a license to use, all its real and personal property and assets material
to its business, except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to 

  

 55 








 
conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties and assets for their intended purposes. All such properties and assets are free and
clear of Liens, other than (in the case of any such properties or assets other than Equity Interests) Permitted Liens and (in the case of Equity Interests) Liens referenced in clauses (a), (b), (f) and (g) of the definition of
“Permitted Liens”. 
 (b) Each of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has complied with all obligations under all leases to
which it is a party, except where the failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and all such leases are in full force and effect, except leases in respect of which the failure to be in full force and
effect could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of Holdings, the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such leases, other than leases in respect of which the
failure to enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c) Each of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (i) owns or has a license to use, on terms not materially adverse to it, all Intellectual Property and rights with respect thereto necessary for the present
conduct of its business, without any conflict (of which the Borrower has been notified in writing) with the rights of others, and free from any burdensome restrictions on the present conduct of its business, except where the failure to own or have a
license to use could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) has taken commercially reasonable steps, consistent with industry standards, to maintain and protect its Intellectual Property, except where the failure
to maintain and protect any such Intellectual Property could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Holdings, the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is infringing upon, misappropriating, diluting or otherwise
violating the Intellectual Property rights of any other Person, except where any such infringement, misappropriation, dilution, or violation could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and
there is no pending or threatened claim or litigation against any of Holdings, the Borrower or its Subsidiaries alleging any such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation. With respect to each item of Intellectual Property, each
of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (i) has the right to use and possesses all right, title and interest in and to such Intellectual Property free and clear of any Liens, licenses or other restrictions, other than Permitted Liens,
and (ii) has performed all acts (including making all necessary recordations and filings) and has paid all required fees and taxes to maintain such Intellectual Property in full force and effect and to protect and maintain its interest therein,
except where the failure to maintain or have the right to use any such Intellectual Property could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.12 Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.12 sets forth as of the Closing Date the name and jurisdiction of incorporation, formation or
organization of each Subsidiary of the Borrower and, as to each such Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of Equity Interests owned by the Borrower or by any such Subsidiary. 
 SECTION 3.13 Disclosure. Each of Holdings and the Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other
restrictions to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to 

  

 56 








 
result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of Holdings or
the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to
state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in any material respect; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, each of
Holdings and the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by it to be reasonable at the time such projections were prepared. 
 SECTION 3.14 Environmental Matters. (a) Except as to matters that could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect (i) no written notice, request for information, order, complaint or penalty has been received by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and there are no judicial, administrative or other actions,
suits or proceedings pending or threatened which allege a violation of any Environmental Laws or any other Environmental Liability, in each case relating to Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) each of Holdings, the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries has all environmental permits necessary for its operations to comply with all applicable Environmental Laws and is, and during the term of all applicable statutes of limitation, has been, in compliance with the terms of such
permits and with all other applicable Environmental Laws, (iii) no Hazardous Material is located at any property currently or, to the knowledge of Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, formerly owned, operated or leased by
Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any cost, liability or obligation of Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any Environmental Laws, and no Hazardous Material has
been generated, owned or controlled by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and transported to or released at any location in a manner that could reasonably be expected to cause Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to incur
any Environmental Liability, and (iv) there are no acquisition or other agreements pursuant to which Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has expressly assumed or undertaken responsibility for any Environmental Liability.

 (b) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.14 and except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could
not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither Holdings, the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other
approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental
Liability. 
 (c) Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the status of the matters set forth on Schedule 3.14
that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or materially increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.15 Security Documents. (a) The Existing Collateral Documents are effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the New Secured Parties and the Revolving Credit Facility Secured Parties,
a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Existing Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof to the extent intended to be created

Section 6.02 and Liens having priority by operation of law). 
 (c) On or promptly after the Release Date, in accordance with the
Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, the New Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the New Secured Parties and the Revolving Credit Facility Secured Parties, shall have a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and
interest of the Loan Parties thereunder in the domestic Intellectual Property (to the extent contemplated to be created thereby), in each case prior and superior in right to any other person (it being understood that subsequent recordings in the
United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office may be necessary to perfect a lien on registered trademarks and patents, trademark and patent applications and registered copyrights acquired by the grantors after the
Closing Date to the extent perfection is not governed by the UCC) except Liens permitted by Section 6.02 and Liens having priority by operation of law. 
 (d) On or promptly after the Release Date, in accordance with the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, each Foreign Pledge Agreement shall be effective to create in favor of the New Collateral Agent, for the benefit

Facility Secured Parties, shall have a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Borrower Obligations and the Guarantees
thereof, in each case prior and superior in right to any other person.

subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of such Loan Party; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of each Loan Party was greater than the

representatives designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its properties, to examine and make extracts from its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with
its officers and independent accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested. If such visit and inspection occurs at a time when no Default has occurred and is continuing, such visit and inspection by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be coordinated through the Administrative Agent and shall be limited to one visit and inspection during any consecutive twelve-month period.

 65 








 SECTION 5.08 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans will be used solely to finance the

 SECTION 5.10 Further Assurances. (a) The Borrower shall, and shall cause each of the Subsidiary Loan Parties to, execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such
further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements and other documents and recordings of Liens in stock registries), that may be required under any applicable law or the Security Documents, or that the Administrative Agent
may reasonably request, to cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be and remain satisfied, all at the expense of the Loan Parties, and provide to the Administrative Agent, from time to time upon reasonable request, evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as to the perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents; provided that, until the Release Date, such actions with respect to perfection shall be
limited to the requirements set forth in the Existing Collateral Documents. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on the Release Date an updated Perfection Certificate dated the Release Date and signed by a Responsible Officer of
the Borrower, together with all attachments contemplated thereby. 
 (b) If any asset that has an individual fair market value in an amount
greater than $5,000,000 million is created, developed or acquired by the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Loan Party after the Closing Date or owned by an entity at the time it becomes a Subsidiary Loan Party (in each case other than assets
constituting Collateral under a Security Document that become subject to the Lien of such Security Document upon acquisition thereof or that are not required to become subject to the Liens of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Security
Documents), the Borrower shall, and shall cause the Subsidiary Loan Parties to, cause such asset, on or promptly after the acquisition thereof, to be subjected to a Lien securing the Borrower Obligations and the Guarantor Obligations of such
Subsidiary Loan Party, as applicable, and shall take, and shall cause the Subsidiary Loan Parties to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions

agree, the Borrower shall, and shall cause 

  

 66 








 
its Subsidiaries to, cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be satisfied with respect to such Subsidiary and with respect to any Equity Interest

Subsidiary becomes a Foreign Subsidiary, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders thereof and, within 20 Business Days after such date or such longer period as the Administrative Agent shall agree, the Borrower shall, and
shall cause its Subsidiaries to, cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be satisfied with respect to any Equity Interest in such Subsidiary owned by or on behalf of any Loan Party, provided that, until the Release Date, such actions with
respect to perfection shall be limited as set forth in the Existing Collateral Documents. 
 (e) (i) The Borrower shall furnish to the
Administrative Agent prompt written notice of any change (A) in any Loan Party’s corporate or organization name, (B) in any Loan Party’s identity or organizational structure, (C) in any Loan Party’s organizational
identification number, (D) in any Loan Party’s jurisdiction of organization or (E) in any Loan Party’s chief executive office or sole place of business, in each case from that set forth on Schedule 3.17; provided
that the Borrower shall not effect or permit any such change unless all filings have been made, or will have been made within any statutory period, under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise that are required in order for (x) prior to the
Release Date, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Existing Secured Parties and the New Secured Parties, and (y) on or after the Release Date, the New Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the New Secured Parties and the Revolving Credit
Facility Secured Parties, to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected security interest in all the Collateral in accordance with Security Documents and (ii) the Borrower shall, and shall cause its
Subsidiaries to, promptly notify the Collateral Agent, the New Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent to the extent it becomes aware (A) of any material portion of the Collateral being damaged or destroyed, (B) of any Lien (other
than any Permitted Lien) on any Collateral which would have a material adverse affect on the ability of any of the Collateral Agent, the New Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent to exercise any of its remedies under the Loan Documents and
(C) of the occurrence of any other event which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the security interest created by the Security Documents. 
 (f) The Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and the other provisions of this Section 5.10 need not be satisfied with respect to (i) any Equity
Interests acquired after the Closing Date in accordance with this Agreement if, and to the extent that, and for so long as (A) doing so would violate applicable law or a contractual obligation binding on the holder of such Equity Interests and
(B) such law or obligation existed at the time of the acquisition thereof and was not created or made binding on such Equity Interests in contemplation of or in connection with the acquisition of such Subsidiary, (ii) any assets acquired
after the Closing Date, to the extent that, and for so long as, taking such actions would violate a contractual obligation binding on such assets that existed at the time of the acquisition thereof and was not created or made binding on such assets
in contemplation or in connection with the acquisition of such assets (except in the case of assets acquired with Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 6.01(b)(v) 

  

 67 








 
that is secured by a Lien permitted pursuant to clause (e) of the definition of Permitted Lien (to the extent such clause (e) refers to
Section 6.01(b)(v))) or (iii) any asset with respect to which the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the cost of the satisfaction of the provisions of this Section 5.10 with respect thereto exceeds the value of the
security afforded thereby; provided that, upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall, and shall cause any applicable Subsidiary to, use commercially reasonable efforts to have waived or eliminated any
contractual obligation of the types described in clauses (i) and (ii) above. 
 (g) From time to time execute and deliver, or cause
to be executed and delivered, such additional instruments, certificates or documents, and take all such actions, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of implementing or effectuating the provisions of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, or of more fully perfecting or renewing the rights or ensuring the priority of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Existing Secured Parties and the New Secured Parties and/or the New Collateral Agent on behalf of the New
Secured Parties and the Revolving Credit Facility Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral (or with respect to any additions thereto or replacements or proceeds thereof or with respect to any other property or assets hereafter acquired by the
borrower or any Subsidiary which may be deemed to be part of the Collateral) pursuant hereto or thereto, provided that, until the Release Date, such actions with respect to perfection shall be limited as set forth in the Existing Collateral
Documents. Upon the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any power, right, privilege or remedy pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which requires any consent, approval, recording qualification or authorization of
any Governmental Authority, the Borrower will execute and deliver, or will cause the execution and delivery of, all applications, certifications, instruments and other documents and papers that the Administrative Agent or such Lenders may be
required to obtain from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for such governmental consent, approval, recording, qualification or authorization. 
 (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent and/or the New Collateral Agent shall have the right to file such financing statements and amendments and continuations thereof as it deems reasonably necessary
to ensure that as of the Release Date the Liens created by the Security Documents with respect to the Borrower Obligations and the Guarantor Obligations have the same priority as they would have had had they been executed, and filings in respect
thereof had been made, as of the Revolving Credit Facility Closing Date.

principal of and interest on each Loan and all fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall have been paid in full, the Borrower covenants and agrees with the Lenders that: 
 SECTION 6.01 Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock. (a) Except as provided in clause (b) of this
Section 6.01 the Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Material Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with

 (vii) the incurrence by the
Borrower or any Material Subsidiary of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Borrower and any Subsidiary; provided, however, that: 
 (A) if the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Borrower Obligations and Guarantor
Obligations; and 
 (B) (1) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness
being held by a Person other than the Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof and (2) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof, shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute
an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Borrower or such Material Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this subclause (vii); 
 (viii) the incurrence by the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary of Hedging Obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business; 
 (ix) the accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the

of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 6.01; 
 (x) Indebtedness the proceeds of which are utilized solely to
finance working capital in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this subclause (x), not to exceed the
lesser of (A) $50,000,000 and (B) 80% of Qualified Receivables; 
  

 70 








 (xi) from and after any Parent Company Merger, Indebtedness of Holdings in existence on
the Revolving Credit Facility Closing Date; 
 (xii) any Qualified Sale and Leaseback Transaction, including an XM-4 Sale and

 (xiii) Satellite Vendor Indebtedness;

 (xiv) any Indebtedness incurred hereunder and the Guarantee of such Indebtedness; 
 (xv) the incurrence by the Borrower of one or more MLB Letters of Credit in an aggregate face amount not to exceed $120,000,000 at any
time for all such MLB Letters of Credit;

 (xvii) the
incurrence by the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary of unsecured Indebtedness undertaken in connection with the Merger or any Merger Related Event (including without limitation in connection with a change of control offer to security holders of
the Borrower, any Material Subsidiary or Holdings, a change of control offer in connection with an XM-4 Sale and Leaseback Transaction or a waiver of any such change of control offer or right to receive the same), other than or in addition to
Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred for such purpose, in an aggregate principal amount (including the aggregate principal amount of all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred
pursuant to this clause (xvii)) which does not exceed, as of the date of such incurrence, at any time outstanding $100,000,000; provided that such Indebtedness shall have a final Stated Maturity of principal at least six months later than the

shall not incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the
Credit Agreement Obligations on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness of the Borrower shall be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower
solely by virtue of being unsecured. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.01, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets
the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (i) through (xiv) above, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, classify such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section, and
such item of Indebtedness will be treated as having been incurred pursuant to only one of such clauses. 
  

 71 








 SECTION 6.02 Liens. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Material
Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind upon any of their property or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, other than Permitted Liens; provided that no
Permitted Lien (other than those set forth in clauses (q), (x) (but only to the extent such Lien is in connection with Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.01(b)(xvi)) and (bb) of the

that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those
contained in such Existing Indebtedness, as in effect on the Closing Date; 
 (ii) the Loan Documents; 
 (iii) applicable law; 
 (iv) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Equity Interests of a Person acquired by the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness was incurred in

or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 SECTION 8.04 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or
other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or

to the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 8.05 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The
Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal
counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 SECTION 8.06 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and

credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 8.07 Successor Administrative
Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this Section, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required
Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of Borrower so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a
successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with

such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees
payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the
provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of
them while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 8.08 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each
Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to
make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 SECTION 8.09 Indemnification. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the
Borrower to do so), in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its Loans hereunder), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loans, this Agreement, any of the other Loan
Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing;
provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable
decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder. 
 SECTION 8.10 Arranger. The Arranger shall not have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as
such.

 SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or
power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No 

  

 89 








 
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders, (y) by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders or (z) as required by Section 6.11(d);
provided that no such agreement or required amendment or modification shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of
interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable
hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.17(b) or (c) in a
manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of Section 6.11(d) without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) change any of
the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant
any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) (x) permit the incurrence by Holdings, the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary of secured Indebtedness in an aggregate amount which exceeds the aggregate amount of
secured Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 6.01(b) as in effect on the Closing Date or (y) change (or permit the change of) the ranking or priority of any secured Indebtedness, in either case, without the written consent
of the Lenders then holding in the aggregate more than 67% of (1) the Commitments or (2) if the Commitments have been terminated, the outstanding Loans, or (viii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release any of
Holdings or any Subsidiary Loan Party from its guarantee under the Guarantee Agreement, unless, in the case of a Subsidiary Loan Party, all or substantially all of the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary Loan Party are sold or otherwise disposed of
in a transaction permitted by this Agreement or such Subsidiary Loan Party shall become an Immaterial Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, in each case without the prior written consent of each Lender. 
 SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with Intralinks (and related expenses) and the preparation and administration of this
Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or, after
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, any Lender, including the 

  

 90 








 
fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in
connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing
Persons (each such Person, an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any
Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of claims (other than a claim by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) relating to (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or
any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of
the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on, from or to any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability
related in any way, directly or indirectly, to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any
other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. 
 (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified
loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such. 
 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages
(as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor. 
 SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) neither Holdings nor the Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of 

  

 91 








 
each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Holdings or the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may
assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section), Indemnitees and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) (i) Subject to the
conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans, reimbursements and other
obligations at the time owing to it), with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an
assignment of any Commitment or Loan to an assignee that is a Lender hereunder immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment, to a branch or an affiliate of an assigning Lender or to an Approved Fund. 
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 
 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Loans, the amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall
not be less than $1,000,000 unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents; 
 (B) each partial assignment shall be made
as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; 
 (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent a joinder agreement in the
form of Exhibit K hereto to each of the Existing Intercreditor Agreements; and 
 (E) the assignee, if it shall not be
a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the
Borrower, the Loan Parties and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and
state securities laws. 
  

 92 








 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, (x) if during the Syndication Period UBS
Securities LLC, in its capacity as underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser and bookrunner, shall be attempting to place or sell senior unsecured debt securities of the Borrower (the “New Debt Securities”), then during such
portion of the Syndication Period in which there is an ongoing road show with respect to New Debt Securities (including through funding or closing if such road show results in pricing for the sale of New Debt Securities) and (y) at any time
during the Consent Period, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall assign, or actively market the assignment of, any Loans pursuant to this Section 9.04(b) without the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that in no event shall the Borrower’s consent be required for any assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
any other assignee. 
 For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

 “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing
in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or
manages a Lender. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section,
from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption
covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03). Any assignment or
transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in
accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. 
 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount, Type and Interest
Period of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall also set forth the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the
Lenders and such Lender’s share 

  

 93 








 
thereof. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this
Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided
that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(b), 2.17(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and
Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been
recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 
 (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans, reimbursements and other obligations owing to it) solely to the extent (x) (1) required by law or regulation, (2) such Lender’s risk managers determine (and advise the Borrower in writing) that doing so
is advisable in view of safe and sound risk management practices or (3) failure to do so would reasonably jeopardize such Lender’s ability to address regulatory concerns, and (y) such Lender shall have provided the Borrower such
notice of the same as is reasonable under the circumstances; provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto
for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender shall not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to
Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender
and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.10 as though it were a Lender, provided such
Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender. 
  

 94 








 (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 2.14 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior
written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees,
for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16(e) as though it were a Lender. 
 (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or
assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall
not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for
such Lender as a party hereto. 
 SECTION 9.05 Agreements of Holdings. (a) Holdings hereby agrees that it will be bound by
each of the covenants in Article V and Article VI of this Agreement as if named therein as the Borrower (except that references to its Subsidiaries shall not include any Person that is not the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower), except as
provided in Schedule 9.05(a), until such time as (a) the Release Date shall have occurred and (b) all of the operating assets of Holdings necessary for the conduct of the Borrower’s business (other than the XM-4 Satellite
Collateral) have been transferred to the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party (the “Holdings Collateral Transfer”) and Holdings shall have delivered a notice to the Administrative Agent in the form of Exhibit H hereto (the
“Holdings Covenant and Collateral Release Notice”) certifying that such Holdings Collateral Transfer has occurred (the “Holdings Covenant and Collateral Release Date”). From and after the Holdings Covenant and
Collateral Release Date, (i) Holdings shall not be bound by any of the covenants in Article V or Article VI (other than Sections 5.10, 6.03(a), 6.11(a), 6.11(d) and 6.13, to which it shall continue to be bound as if named therein as the
Borrower) of this Agreement and (ii) the representations and warranties in Sections 3.04(c), 3.05, 3.11, 3.13 and 3.14, as such representations and warranties apply to Holdings, shall be limited as provided Schedule 9.05(b). 

(b) Holdings agrees that at all times, whether before, on or after the date of the first extension of credit under this Agreement and whether before,
on or after the Holdings Covenant and Collateral Release Date, it shall not incur secured Indebtedness other than Permitted Holdings Debt, its Guarantor Obligations and its Obligations as a guarantor under the Revolving Credit Facility Documents.

 (c) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree (x) that the Excluded Entities shall not be restricted by the covenants set
forth in Articles V and VI hereof, and (y) that liabilities appearing on the consolidated balance sheet of Holdings which are liabilities of one or more Excluded Entities but which are not liabilities of Holdings shall not be considered
liabilities of Holdings for purposes of determining compliance by Holdings with any of the covenants set forth in Articles V or VI hereof. 
  

 95 








 SECTION 9.06 XM-4 Satellite Collateral. In the event that the XM-4 Satellite Collateral shall
no longer constitute “Collateral” in accordance with the terms hereof and one or more of the Loan Parties creates a security interest in all or part of the XM-4 Satellite Collateral in favor of secured parties other than the New Secured
Parties and the Revolving Credit Facility Secured Parties, the Loan Parties shall have the right to enter into license and/or access agreements in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (and which agreements shall be
deemed acceptable so long as and to the extent that they cover only such matters described in this Section 9.06 in the manner set forth herein) (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not be entitled to approve the commercial
terms of any such license agreement unless any such term contravenes this Section 9.06) under which the Loan Parties shall grant to the representative of such secured parties one or more licenses (which may be royalty free) or other rights to
use, and reasonable access to, Indivisible Ancillary XM-4 Satellite Collateral; provided that the Loan Parties certify to the Administrative Agent that such use of and/or access will not impair in any material respect the use or access to
such Indivisible Ancillary XM-4 Satellite Collateral by any of the Loan Parties in the conduct of their business. At the request of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent shall consent to such agreements and enter into one or more agreements on
terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent whereby it agrees to be bound by the terms of such license and access agreements in the event of any foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on such Indivisible Ancillary XM-4 Satellite
Collateral. 
 SECTION 9.07 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower and Holdings
herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or
warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid.
The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans or the termination of
this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 SECTION 9.08 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed
in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with
respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject
matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken
together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature
page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
  

 96 








 SECTION 9.09 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 9.10 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any
of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such
obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender and each of its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender or Affiliate may have. 
 SECTION 9.11 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the law of the State of New York. 
 (b) Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for
itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any
thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such
action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and
may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding
