increase to the existing Revolving Credit Facility (an “Incremental Revolving Loan”), Tranche A Term Loans or Tranche B Term Loans or a new tranche of Term Loans; provided, however, that Borrower may not make a request
for any Incremental Facility if after giving effect thereto the sum of all then outstanding Incremental Revolving Loans, unused Incremental Revolving Commitments, Incremental 
  

 -37- 








 Term Loans and unused Incremental Term Commitments would exceed $100,000,000; provided, further, that Borrower may
not make a request for an Incremental Facility in respect of a Revolving Loan or a Tranche A Term Loan if after giving effect thereto the sum of all then outstanding Incremental Revolving Loans, unused Incremental Revolving Commitments and
Incremental Term Loans and unused Incremental Term Commitments in respect of Tranche A Loans would exceed $25,000,000. Each Incremental Facility shall: 
  
 (A) be in an amount not less that $10,000,000; 
  

(B) have such pricing as may be agreed by Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Loans pursuant to the provisions of this
subsection 2.1(e) and subsection 4.18; and 
  
 (C) except as specifically provided in the applicable Incremental Loan Amendment, this subsection (C) and subsection (B) above or in subsection 4.18, otherwise have all of the same terms and conditions as the Revolving Credit Loans (if such
Incremental Loans are Incremental Revolving Loans), the Tranche A Term Loans (if such Incremental Loans are Tranche A Term Loans) or the Tranche B Term Loans (if such Incremental Loans are Tranche B Term Loans); provided that notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the maturity date of the Incremental Term Loans shall be the Incremental Term Maturity Date. 
  
 In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all references in the Credit Documents to Revolving Credit Loans, Tranche A Term Loans or Tranche B
Term Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to Incremental Revolving Loans or Incremental Term Loans of such Tranche, respectively, made pursuant to this Agreement. No Lender shall have any obligation to
make an Incremental Loan unless and until it commits to do so. Commitments in respect of Incremental Loans shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to (x) an amendment (each, an “Incremental Loan Amendment”) to this
Agreement executed by Borrower, each Lender or other approved financial institution agreeing to provide such Commitment (and no other Lender shall be required to execute such amendment), and the Administrative Agent, and (y) any amendments to the
other Credit Documents (executed by the relevant Credit Party and the Administrative Agent only) as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably deem appropriate to effect such purpose. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
effectiveness of such Incremental Loan Amendment shall be subject to the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a certificate of Borrower executed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower certifying that immediately prior to and after giving effect to
the incurrence of the Incremental Facility (A) each of the representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties in or pursuant to the Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects, (B) Borrower is in compliance with each
of the financial covenants contained in subsection 8.9 on a Pro Forma Basis and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent, based on financial projections of Borrower and its Subsidiaries attached to such
certificate which have been prepared on a Pro Forma Basis giving effect to any Borrowing made hereunder on such date and the consummation of any related transaction and (C) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or be
caused by the incurrence of the Incremental Facility. 
  
 (ii) So
long as (x) Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent no less than five Business Days’ prior notice of the Incremental Loan Amendment’s effectiveness and (y) any financial institution not theretofore a Lender which is providing an
Incremental Revolving Commitment and/or an Incremental Term Commitment shall have become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to an Incremental 
  

 -38- 








 Loan Amendment, the Incremental Revolving Commitment and/or Incremental Term Commitment being requested by Borrower shall
become effective under this Agreement upon the effectiveness of such Incremental Loan Amendment. Upon such effectiveness, Schedule I shall be deemed amended to reflect such Commitments. In the event that an Incremental Facility shall have
become effective, the Lender or Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Commitment and/or Incremental Term Commitments shall be deemed to have agreed, severally and not jointly, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement,
(A) with respect to Incremental Term Commitments to make an Incremental Term Loan in the amount of the Incremental Term Commitment of such Lender on the effective date of the applicable Incremental Loan Amendment and (B) with respect to Incremental
Revolving Commitments, to make from time to time during the period from the date of the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Loan Amendment through the Revolving Credit Termination Date, one or more Incremental Revolving Loans to the Borrower
pursuant to the provisions of subsection 3.1 in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding at any time the Incremental Revolving Commitment of such Lender at such time. 
  
 2.2. Repayment of Term Loans. Borrower may repay the Term Loans as provided in subsection 4.4 and shall repay the
Term Loans as provided in subsections 4.5 and 4.6. 
  
 2.3. Use
of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans (other than any Incremental Term Loans) shall be used to finance a portion of the Transactions and to pay fees, expenses and financing costs in connection therewith.

 3.1. Revolving Credit Commitments. (a) Subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to the extent of its Revolving Credit Commitment to extend credit to Borrower (x) on the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount of up to the Initial Revolving Credit
Amount and (y) at any time and from time to time on any Borrowing Date during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period in each case (i) by purchasing an L/C Participating Interest in each Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender and (ii) by
making loans in Dollars (individually, a “Revolving Credit Loan”; and collectively, the “Revolving Credit Loans”) to Borrower from time to time. Notwithstanding the above, in no event shall any Revolving Credit
Loans be made, or Letter of Credit be issued, if the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Loans to be made or Letter of Credit to be issued would, after giving effect to the use of proceeds, if any, thereof, exceed the aggregate Available
Revolving Credit Commitments nor shall any Letter of Credit be issued if after giving effect thereto the sum of the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and the amount of all L/C Obligations would exceed $7,500,000. 
  
 (b) On the Closing Date and during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period,
Borrower may use the Revolving Credit Commitments and any Incremental Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, and/or by
having the Issuing Lender issue Letters of Credit, having such Letters of Credit expire undrawn upon or if drawn upon, reimbursing the Issuing Lender for such drawing, and having the Issuing Lender issue new Letters of Credit. 
  

 -39- 








 (c) Each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to the Revolving Credit Commitments and any
Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be in an aggregate principal amount of the lesser of (i) $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans, and $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in
excess thereof, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and (ii) the Available Revolving Credit Commitments, except (x) that any borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans to be used solely to pay a like amount of Swing Line Loans may be in the aggregate
principal amount of such Swing Line Loans and (y) any borrowing under subsection 3.8(a) shall be in the amount of the applicable Letter of Credit draw. 
  
 3.2. Commitment Fee. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (other than any Non-Funding Lender) a
commitment fee from and including the earlier to occur of (x) April 5, 2004 or (y) the Closing Date, in either case to but excluding the Revolving Credit Termination Date computed at the rate of 1/2 of 1% per annum on the average daily amount of the
Available Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made (whether or not Borrower shall have satisfied the applicable conditions for borrowing or for the issuance of a Letter of Credit set forth in Section 6).
Such commitment fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, commencing on the first such date to occur on or following the Closing Date, in each
case for the actual number of days elapsed over a 365- or 366-day year. 
  
 3.3. Proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans. Borrower shall use the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans for asset purchases pursuant to the Acquisition Documentation, Permitted Acquisitions and to provide for the ongoing working capital
and general corporate purposes of Borrower and its Qualified Subsidiaries, in each case, after the Closing Date and for the Transactions on the Closing Date. 
  
 3.4. Swing Line Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender agrees, so long as the Administrative Agent has
not received notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to make swing line loans (individually, a “Swing Line Loan”; collectively, the “Swing Line Loans”) to Borrower at any time and from time
to time during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $5,000,000; provided that no Swing Line Loan may be made if the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Line
Loans to be made would exceed the aggregate Available Revolving Credit Commitments at such time. Amounts borrowed by Borrower under this subsection 3.4 may be repaid at any time, subject to the limitation stated herein, without prior notice and,
through but excluding the Revolving Credit Termination Date, reborrowed. All Swing Line Loans (1) shall be made as Alternate Base Rate Loans, (2) shall not be entitled to be converted into Eurodollar Loans and (3) must be repaid in full within seven
days of making of such Loan or, if sooner, upon the making of any Revolving Credit Loan and shall in any event mature no later than the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Borrower shall give the Swing Line Lender irrevocable notice (which notice
must be received by the Swing Line Lender prior to 3:00 p.m.) on the requested Borrowing Date specifying the amount of each requested Swing Line Loan, which shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $250,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess
thereof. The Swing Line Lender shall, before 5:00 p.m. on such requested Borrowing Date, make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of Borrower in same day funds, the proceeds of such Swing Line Loans. The proceeds of each Swing Line
Loan will be made available by the Swing Line Lender to Borrower in immediately available funds to be delivered by wire transfer to the account(s) designated by Borrower in the applicable borrowing notice. The proceeds of Swing Line Loans may be
used solely for the purposes referred to in subsection 3.3. 
  

 -40- 








 (b) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may, and on the fifteenth day
(or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) and last Business Day of each calendar month shall, on behalf of Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf) request each Revolving Credit
Lender, including the Swing Line Lender, to make a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”)
outstanding on the date such notice is given. Unless any of the events described in paragraph (f) of Section 9 shall have occurred and be continuing (in which event the procedures of paragraph (c) of this subsection 3.4 shall apply), each such
Lender shall make the proceeds of its Revolving Credit Loan available to the Swing Line Lender for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the office of the Swing Line Lender specified in subsection 11.2 (or such other location as the Swing Line
Lender may direct) prior to 12:00 noon in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loans.

  
 (c) If, prior to the making of a Revolving Credit Loan
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection 3.4, one of the events described in paragraph (f) of Section 9 shall have occurred and be continuing, each Revolving Credit Lender will, on the date such Loan was to have been made, purchase an undivided
participating interest in the Refunded Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Refunded Swing Line Loan. Each such Lender will immediately transfer to the Swing Line Lender in immediately available
funds, the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swing Line Lender will deliver to such Lender a Swing Line Loan Participation Certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount. 
  
 (d) Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any
Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s participating interest in a Refunded Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its participating interest in such
amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded) in like funds as received; provided that, in the event that
such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Line Lender to it in like funds as such payment is required to be
returned by the Swing Line Lender. 
  
 (e) The obligation of each
Revolving Credit Lender to purchase participating interests pursuant to subsection 3.4(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial
or otherwise) of Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement by Borrower or any other Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 
  
 3.5. Issuance of Letters of Credit. (a) Borrower may from time to time
request the Issuing Lender to issue a Standby L/C or a Commercial L/C by delivering to the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at its address specified in subsection 11.2 (or such other location as the Issuing Lender may direct)
a letter of credit application in the Issuing Lender’s then customary form (the “L/C Application”) completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, together with the proposed form 
  

 -41- 








 of such Letter of Credit (which shall comply with the applicable requirements of paragraph (b) below) and such other
certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may reasonably request; provided that if the Issuing Lender informs Borrower that it is for any reason unable to open such Letter of Credit, Borrower may request
any Lender to open such Letter of Credit upon the same terms offered to the Issuing Lender and each reference to the Issuing Lender for purposes of subsections 3.5 through 3.13, 6.1 and 6.2 shall be deemed to be a reference to such Issuing Lender
for the purposes of such Letter of Credit. 
  
 (b) Each Standby
L/C and Commercial L/C issued hereunder shall be issued for the account of Borrower and shall, among other things, (i) be in such form requested by Borrower as shall be acceptable to the Issuing Lender in its sole discretion and (ii) have an expiry
date occurring not later than (a) 365 days, in the case of a Standby L/C, or (b) 120 days, in the case of a Commercial L/C, after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and, in the case of Standby L/Cs, may be automatically renewed on its
expiry date for an additional period equal to the initial term, but in no case shall any Letter of Credit have an expiry date occurring later than the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Each L/C Application and each Letter of Credit shall be subject
to the International Standby Practices (ISP 98) of the International Chamber of Commerce (in the case of Standby L/Cs) or the Uniform Customs (in the case of Commercial L/Cs) and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the Laws of the State of
New York. 
  
 3.6. Participating Interests. Effective in
the case of each Standby L/C and Commercial L/C (if applicable) as of the date of the opening thereof, the Issuing Lender agrees to allot and does allot, to itself and each other Revolving Credit Lender, and each such Lender severally and
irrevocably agrees to take and does take in such Letter of Credit and the related L/C Application (if applicable), an L/C Participating Interest in a percentage equal to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage. 
  
 3.7. Procedure for Opening Letters of Credit. The Issuing Lender will
notify each Lender after the end of each calendar month of any L/C Applications received by the Issuing Lender from Borrower during such month. Upon receipt of any L/C Application from Borrower, the Issuing Lender will process such L/C Application,
and the other certificates, documents and other papers delivered to the Issuing Lender in connection therewith, in accordance with its customary procedures and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, shall promptly open such Letter of Credit by
issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof and by furnishing a copy thereof to Borrower and, after the end of the calendar month in which such Letter of Credit was opened, to the other Lenders; provided that no
such Letter of Credit shall be issued if subsection 3.1 would be violated thereby. 
  
 3.8. Payments in Respect of Letters of Credit. (a) Borrower agrees forthwith upon demand by the Issuing Lender and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the L/C Application relating thereto, (i) to
reimburse the Issuing Lender for any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued for the account of Borrower and (ii) to pay interest on any unreimbursed portion of any such payment from the date of such payment until
reimbursement in full thereof at a rate per annum equal to (a) on or prior to the date which is one Business Day after the day on which the Issuing Lender demands reimbursement from Borrower for such payment, the Alternate Base Rate
plus the Applicable Margin for the Revolving Credit Loans and (b) thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for the Revolving Credit Loans plus 2%. Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type
described in paragraph (f) of Section 9 shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the procedures specified in this subsection 3.8 for payments in respect of Letters of Credit 
  

 -42- 








 shall apply) constitute a request by Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to subsection 3.1(a)
of Alternate Base Rate Loans (or, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender in their sole discretion, a borrowing pursuant to subsection 3.4 of Swing Line Loans) in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with
respect to such borrowing shall be the date of payment of the relevant drawing. 
  
 (b) In the event that the Issuing Lender makes a payment under any Letter of Credit and is not reimbursed pursuant to subsection 3.8(a) in full therefor forthwith upon demand of the Issuing Lender, and otherwise in
accordance with the terms of the L/C Application relating to such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender will promptly notify each other Revolving Credit Lender. Forthwith upon its receipt of any such notice, each such other Lender will transfer to
the Issuing Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such other Lender’s pro rata share (based on its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or any Incremental Revolving Commitment) of the L/C Obligation arising from
such unreimbursed payment. Promptly, upon its receipt from such other Lender of such amount, the Issuing Lender will complete, execute and deliver to such other Lender an L/C Participation Certificate dated the date of such receipt and in such
amount. 
  
 (c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has
made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any other Revolving Credit Lender such other Lender’s pro rata share of the L/C Obligation arising therefrom, the Issuing Lender receives any reimbursement on account
of such L/C Obligation or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will promptly distribute to such other Lender its pro rata share thereof in like funds as received; provided that in the event that the
receipt by the Issuing Lender of such reimbursement or such payment of interest (as the case may be) is required to be returned, such other Lender will return to the Issuing Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to
it in like funds as such reimbursement or payment is required to be returned by the Issuing Lender. 
  
 3.9. Letter of Credit Fees. (a) In lieu of any letter of credit commissions and fees provided for in any L/C Application relating to Standby or
Commercial L/Cs (other than standard issuance, amendment and negotiation fees), Borrower agrees to pay the Administrative Agent, (i) for the account of the Issuing Lender and the Participating Lenders, with respect to each Standby L/C or Commercial
L/C issued for the account of Borrower, a Standby L/C or Commercial L/C fee, as the case may be, equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans which are Eurodollar Loans per annum; and (ii) in addition to the Standby or
Commercial L/C fee referred to in subsection 3.9(a)(i) above, for the account of the Issuing Lender and not on account of its L/C Participating Interest therein, 0.25% per annum, each on the daily average amount available to be drawn
under each Standby L/C in the case of a Standby L/C and on the maximum face amount of each Commercial L/C in the case of a Commercial L/C, in either case, payable, in arrears, on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the
Revolving Credit Termination Date. The Administrative Agent will disburse any Standby or Commercial L/C fees received pursuant to subsection 3.9(a)(i) to the respective Lenders promptly following the receipt of any such fees. 
  
 (b) For purposes of any payment of fees required pursuant to this subsection
3.9, the Administrative Agent agrees to provide to Borrower a statement of any such fees to be so paid; provided that the failure by the Administrative Agent to provide Borrower with any such invoice shall not relieve Borrower of its
obligation to pay such fees.

 3.10. Letter of Credit Reserves. (a) If any Change in Law shall either (i) impose, modify, deem or
make applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by the Issuing Lender or (ii) impose on the Issuing Lender any other condition regarding this Agreement (with respect to Letters of
Credit) or any Letter of Credit, and the result of any event referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above shall be to increase the cost of the Issuing Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (which increase in cost shall be the result of
the Issuing Lender’s reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such cost increases resulting from such events), then, upon demand by the Issuing Lender, Borrower shall immediately pay to the Issuing Lender, from time to time as specified by the
Issuing Lender, additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate the Issuing Lender for such increased cost, together with interest on each such amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at a rate per annum
equal to the rate applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans pursuant to subsection 4.8(b). Borrower shall not be required to make any payments to the Issuing Lender for any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection 3.10(a) unless the Issuing
Lender has given written notice to Borrower of its intent to request such payments prior to or within 60 days after the date on which the Issuing Lender became entitled to claim such amounts. A certificate, setting forth in reasonable detail the
calculation of the amounts involved, submitted by the Issuing Lender to Borrower concurrently with any such demand by the Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the amount thereof. 
  
 (b) In the event that any Change in Law with respect to the Issuing Lender
shall, in the reasonable opinion of the Issuing Lender, require that any obligation under any Letter of Credit be treated as an asset or otherwise be included for purposes of calculating the appropriate amount of capital to be maintained by the
Issuing Lender or any corporation controlling the Issuing Lender, and such Change in Law shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s capital, as the case may be, as a consequence of
the Issuing Lender’s obligations under such Letter of Credit to a level below that which the Issuing Lender or such corporation, as the case may be, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into account the Issuing Lender’s
or such corporation’s policies, as the case may be, with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by the Issuing Lender to be material, then from time to time following notice by the Issuing Lender to Borrower of such Change
in Law, within 15 days after demand by the Issuing Lender, Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Issuing Lender or such corporation, as the case may be, for such reduction. The Issuing
Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of paragraph (a) or (b) of this subsection 3.10 with respect to the Issuing Lender, it will, if requested by Borrower and to the extent permitted by law or by the
relevant Governmental Authority, endeavor in good faith to avoid or minimize the increase in costs or reduction in payments resulting from such event; provided that such avoidance or minimization can be made in such a manner that the Issuing
Lender, in its sole determination, suffers no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage. Borrower shall not be required to make any payments to the Issuing Lender for any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection 3.10(b) unless the Issuing
Lender has given written notice to Borrower of its intent to request such payments prior to or within 60 days after the date on which the Issuing Lender became entitled to claim such amounts. A certificate, in reasonable detail setting forth the
calculation of the amounts involved, submitted by the Issuing Lender to Borrower concurrently with any such demand by the Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the amount thereof. 
  
 (c) Borrower and each Participating Lender agree that the provisions of the
foregoing paragraphs (a) and (b) shall apply equally to each Participating Lender in respect of its L/C Participating Interest in such Letter of Credit, as if the references in such paragraphs and provisions referred to, where applicable, such
Participating Lender or, in the case of paragraph (b), any corporation controlling such Participating Lender.

 3.11. Further Assurances. Borrower hereby agrees, from time to time, to do and perform any and all
acts and to execute any and all further instruments reasonably requested by the Issuing Lender more fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement and the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder. 
  
 3.12. Obligations Absolute. The payment obligations of Borrower under
this Agreement with respect to the Letters of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following
circumstances: 
  
 (i) the existence of any
claim, set-off, defense or other right which Borrower or any of its Qualified Subsidiaries may have at any time against any beneficiary, or any transferee, of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee
may be acting), the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Credit Document, the transactions contemplated herein, or any unrelated transaction; 
  
 (ii) any statement or any other document presented under any
Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, except arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender; 
  
 (iii) payment by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of
Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or is insufficient in any respect, except where such payment constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on
the part of the Issuing Lender; or 
  
 (iv) any
other circumstances or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, except for any such circumstances or happening constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender. 
  
 3.13. Participations. The obligation of each Revolving Credit Lender
to purchase participating interests pursuant to subsection 3.6 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which
such Lender may have against the Issuing Lender, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower; (iv)
any breach of this Agreement by Borrower or any other Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 
  
 SECTION 4. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LOANS 
  
 4.1. Procedure for Borrowing. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may borrow under the
Commitments on any Business Day; provided that, with respect to any borrowing, 
  

 -45- 








 Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent (or, with respect to Swing Line Loans, the Swing Line Lender) irrevocable
notice substantially in the form of Exhibit Q (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 noon (or, with respect to Swing Line Loans, 3:00 p.m.) (i) three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date if
all or any part of the Loans are to be Eurodollar Loans and (ii) one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date (or, in the case of Swing Line Loans and, if the Closing Date occurs on the date this Agreement is executed and delivered, Loans
made on the Closing Date, on the requested Borrowing Date) if the borrowing is to be solely of Alternate Base Rate Loans) and specifying (a) the amount of the borrowing, (b) whether such Loans are initially to be Eurodollar Loans or Alternate Base
Rate Loans or a combination thereof, (c) if the borrowing is to be entirely or partly Eurodollar Loans, the length of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loans and (d) whether the Loan is a Term Loan, a Swing Line Loan or Revolving Credit Loan.
Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. Not later than 12:00 noon on the Borrowing Date specified in such notice, each affected Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent
at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in subsection 11.2 (or at such other location as the Administrative Agent may direct) an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Loan to be made by such Lender (except that
proceeds of Swing Line Loans will be made available to Borrower in accordance with subsection 3.4(a)). Loan proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall promptly be made available to Borrower in immediately available funds to be
delivered by wire transfer to the account(s) designated by Borrower in the applicable borrowing notice, with the aggregate amount actually received by the Administrative Agent from the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative
Agent. 
  
 (b) Any borrowing of Eurodollar Loans hereunder shall
be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Eurodollar Loans having the same Interest Period shall not be less than $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$100,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) no more than ten Interest Periods shall be in effect at any one time. No Borrowings made on the Closing Date or the next four consecutive Business Days shall be Eurodollar Loans without the Arranger’s
consent. 
  
 4.2. Conversion and Continuation Options. (a)
Subject to subsection 4.15, Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans into Alternate Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election, to be received by the Administrative Agent prior to
12:00 noon at least three Business Days prior to the proposed conversion date. Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or a portion of the Alternate Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) then outstanding to Eurodollar Loans by
giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election, to be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 noon at least three Business Days prior to the proposed conversion date, specifying the Interest Period selected therefor;
provided that no conversion date may be earlier than the fifth Business Day subsequent to the Closing Date without the Arranger’s consent. Such conversion shall be made on the requested conversion date or, if such requested conversion
date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that no such conversion shall be made when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Required Lenders have, by written notice to Borrower, determined
that such conversion is not appropriate. Upon receipt of any notice pursuant to this subsection 4.2, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. All or any part of the outstanding Loans (other than Swing Line Loans)
may be converted as provided herein; provided that partial conversions of Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and the aggregate principal amount of
the resulting Eurodollar Loans outstanding in respect of any one Interest Period shall be at least $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. 
  


 -46- 








 (b) Any Eurodollar Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period
with respect thereto by Borrower giving notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in subsection 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable
to such Loans; provided that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Required Lenders have, by written notice to Borrower, determined that such a continuation is not
appropriate, (ii) if, after giving effect thereto, subsection 4.1(b) would be contravened or (iii) after the date that is one month prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date (in the case of continuations of Revolving Credit Loans) or the final
Installment Payment Date of the Term Loans. 
  
 4.3. Changes of
Commitment Amounts. (a) Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) at any time subsequent to the date hereof but prior to the Closing Date to terminate or permanently
reduce the Tranche B Term Loan Commitments and (ii) at any time subsequent to the date hereof, to terminate or from time to time to permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments, any Incremental Revolving Commitments and/or the Tranche A Term
Loan Commitments, subject to the provisions of this subsection 4.3. 
  
 To the extent, if any, that the sum of the amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding and the amounts available to be drawn under outstanding Letters of Credit exceeds the amount of the
Revolving Credit Commitments and any Incremental Revolving Commitments, as then reduced, Borrower shall be required to make a prepayment equal to such excess amount, the proceeds of which shall be applied, first, to payment of the Swing Line
Loans then outstanding, second, to payment of any L/C Obligations then outstanding, third to payment of the Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding and fourth, to cash collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit on terms
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and any Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be accompanied by prepayment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C
Obligations then outstanding in excess of the then outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments and any Incremental Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such reduction and by cash collateralization of any outstanding Letters of Credit on terms
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Upon termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and any Incremental Revolving Commitments, any Letter of Credit then outstanding that has been so cash collateralized shall no longer be
considered a “Letter of Credit” as defined in subsection 1.1 and any L/C Participating Interests heretofore granted by the Issuing Lender to the Lenders in such Letter of Credit shall be deemed terminated (subject to automatic
reinstatement in the event that such cash collateral is returned and the Issuing Lender is not fully reimbursed for any such L/C Obligations) but the Letter of Credit fees payable under subsection 3.9 shall continue to accrue to the Issuing Lender
and the Participating Lenders (or, in the event of any such automatic reinstatement, as provided in subsection 3.9) with respect to such Letter of Credit until the expiry thereof (provided that in lieu of paying a Standby L/C or Commercial
L/C fee, as the case may be, equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans which are Eurodollar Loans per annum, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to 0.25% per annum). 

 
 (b) In the case of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments,
Incremental Revolving Commitments and/or Term Loan Commitment, interest accrued on the amount of any prepayment 
  

 -47- 








 relating thereto and any unpaid commitment fee accrued hereunder shall be paid on the date of such termination. Any such
partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, Incremental Revolving Commitments and/or Term Loan Commitment, shall be in an amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and shall, in each case, reduce permanently
the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments, Incremental Revolving Commitments and/or Term Loan Commitment, then in effect. 
  
 (c) (i) The Tranche A Term Loan Commitments, the Tranche B Term Loan Commitments and any Incremental Term Commitments shall be automatically and
permanently reduced upon the making of a Tranche A Term Loan, Tranche B Term Loan or Incremental Term Loan, as the case may be, by the amount of such Loan, (ii) the Tranche A Term Loan Commitments that remain outstanding on the Second Draw Date,
after giving effect to all Tranche A Term Loans made through and including the Second Draw Date, shall be automatically and permanently terminated, (iii) the Incremental Term Commitments under any Incremental Facility shall be terminated effective
as of the day after the effective date of the Incremental Loan Amendment relating thereto, and (iv) the Tranche A Term Loan Commitments and the Tranche B Term Loan Commitments that remain outstanding on the earlier to occur of (A) the APA
Termination Date and (B) the date which is six months after the Closing Date, after giving effect to all Term Loans made on such earlier date or prior thereto, shall be automatically and permanently terminated. 
  
 (d) The Revolving Credit Commitments shall be automatically and permanently
reduced: 
  
 (i) on the fifth anniversary of the
Closing Date, if the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments are greater than $67,500,000 at such time, to $67,500,000; and 
  
 (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary, on June 30, 2004 to $0, if the Closing Date has not occurred on such date or prior thereto.

  
 4.4. Optional Prepayments. Subject to subsection 4.15,
Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, by irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent by 12:00 noon on the Business Day preceding the proposed date of prepayment in
the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans, by 12:00 noon on the third Business Day preceding the proposed date of prepayment in the case of Eurodollar Loans, specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Revolving Credit
Loans or Term Loans. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If such notice is given, Borrower shall make such prepayment, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and
payable, on the date specified therein. Partial prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to this subsection 4.4 shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lesser of (a) (i) $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof with
respect to Eurodollar Loans or (ii) $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof with respect to Alternate Base Rate Loans and (b) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans. Partial prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans
pursuant to this subsection shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lesser of (a) (i) $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof with respect to Eurodollar Loans or (ii) $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in
excess thereof with respect to Alternate Base Rate Loans and (b) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans (or the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans maintained as Alternate Base Rate Loans (in the
case of a prepayment of such Revolving 
  

 -48- 








 Credit Loans) or as Eurodollar Loans with a single Interest Period (in the case of a prepayment of such Revolving Credit
Loans)), as the case may be. Prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to this subsection 4.4 shall be applied in accordance with subsection 4.7 below. 
  
 4.5. Mandatory Prepayments. 
  
 (a) Equity Issuances. If, subsequent to the Closing Date, Holdings or Borrower shall issue any Capital Stock (it being understood that the issuance
of debt securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Capital Stock shall be governed by subsection 4.5(b) below), or receive any contributions in respect of its capital, within five Business Days of receipt of any Net Proceeds
therefrom, the Borrowers shall prepay outstanding Loans in an amount equal to 75% of such Net Proceeds and such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with subsection 4.7 below; provided that, following receipt by the Administrative Agent
of the financial statements required by subsection 7.1 for the second fiscal quarter beginning after the Closing Date, (x) such percentage shall be reduced to 50% with respect to such Net Proceeds (or a smaller portion thereof, as the case may be)
if the Total Leverage Ratio is less than 6.00 to 1.00 but greater than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00 as of the date of receipt of such Net Proceeds after giving effect to the prepayment required by this subsection 4.5(a) with such Net Proceeds (or such
smaller portion thereof) and (y) such percentage shall be reduced to 0% with respect to such Net Proceeds (or a smaller portion thereof, as the case may be) if the Total Leverage Ratio is less than 5.00 to 1.00 as of the date of receipt of such Net
Proceeds after giving effect to the prepayment required by this subsection 4.5(a) with such Net Proceeds (or such smaller portion thereof); provided further that this subsection 4.5(a) shall not apply to (i) Permitted Issuances, (ii)
issuances where the proceeds are used to pay the purchase price in a Permitted Acquisition or pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement or (iii) contributions of the proceeds of ABRY Subordinated Indebtedness. 
  
 (b) Indebtedness. If, subsequent to the Closing Date, Holdings,
Borrower or any of its Qualified Subsidiaries shall incur or permit the incurrence of any Indebtedness (including pursuant to debt securities which are convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Capital Stock), within five Business Days
of receipt of any Net Proceeds therefrom, Borrower shall prepay outstanding Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds and such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with subsection 4.7 below, provided that, following receipt
by the Administrative Agent of the financial statements required by subsection 7.1 for the second fiscal quarter beginning after the Closing Date, such percentage shall be reduced to 50% with respect to such Net Proceeds (or a smaller portion
thereof, as the case may be) if the Total Leverage Ratio is less than 6.00 to 1.00 as of the date of receipt of such Net Proceeds after giving effect to the prepayment required by this subsection 4.5(b); provided further that this
subsection 4.5(b) shall not apply to Net Proceeds of (i) Holdings High Yield Notes if such Net Proceeds are used to fund a Permitted Acquisition or in respect of Subsequent Consent Transfers and/or Subsequent Property Transfers (each as defined in
the Asset Purchase Agreement) or (ii) any Indebtedness permitted by subsections 8.1(a) through (j). 
  
 (c) Asset Sales. If, subsequent to the Closing Date, Holdings, Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale,
within five Business Days of receipt of any Net Proceeds therefrom, Borrower shall prepay outstanding Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds and such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with subsection 4.7 below; provided
that no payment shall be required pursuant to this subsection 4.5(c) until the date that the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds received by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries from any Asset Sales exceeds $5,000,000 (and has not yet been so applied).

  

 -49- 








 (d) Casualty Events. If, subsequent to the Closing Date, Holdings, Borrower or any of its

Holdings commencing with its fiscal year ending on December 31, 2005, there shall be Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year, not later than 90 days after the end of such fiscal year Borrower shall prepay Loans in an amount equal to 75% of such Excess
Cash Flow and such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with subsection 4.7 below; provided that such percentage shall be reduced to 50% with respect to such Excess Cash Flow (or portion thereof) if the Total Leverage Ratio as of the end
of such fiscal year is or after giving effect to the prepayment required by this subsection 4.5(e) with such Excess Cash Flow (or such smaller portion thereof) would be less than 6.00 to 1.00 but greater than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00; provided
further that such percentage shall be reduced to 25% with respect to such Excess Cash Flow (or a smaller portion thereof) if the Total Leverage Ratio as of the end of such fiscal year is, or after giving effect to the prepayment required by this

directly relating to the determination of the 3.3 Reduction (the “Net 3.3 Reduction Proceeds”) exceeds $20,000,000, then within 180 days after the Post Closing Certificate (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) becomes
conclusive, final and binding on the parties to the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Net 3.3 Reduction Proceeds have been received by Borrower, Borrower shall prepay Loans in an amount equal to 66.67% of the amount by which the amount of such Net
3.3 Reduction Proceeds exceeds $20,000,000 and such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with subsection 4.7 below; provided that if Borrower is not permitted to make a Dividend Payment pursuant to subsection 8.11(g) with respect to the
3.3 Reduction, then Borrower shall prepay outstanding Loans in the amount of the entire amount of the Net 3.3 Reduction Proceeds and such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with subsection 4.7 below.

	 Period

	  	 Percentage

	 December 2010—June 2011
	  	23.875% per fiscal quarter
	 Tranche B Maturity Date
	  	23.875%

  
 Amounts repaid on account of the
Tranche B Term Loans pursuant to this subsection or otherwise may not be reborrowed. Accrued interest on the amount of any prepayments shall be paid on the Interest Payment Date next succeeding the date of any partial prepayment and on the date of
such prepayment in the case of a prepayment in full of the Tranche B Term Loans. To the extent not previously paid, all Tranche B Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Tranche B Maturity Date. 
  
 (ii) The applicable Incremental Loan Amendment may provide for scheduled

 4.7. Application of Prepayments. (a) Prepayments of Term Loans
pursuant to subsection 4.4 shall be applied as elected by Borrower. Prepayments pursuant to subsection 4.5 shall be applied first, to Term Loans outstanding and second, to the extent no Term Loans remain outstanding, to the Revolving
Credit Loans in the amount of the Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow remaining to be applied; provided that in the case of a prepayment pursuant to subsection 4.5(b), (c) or (d), there shall be permanent reduction in the Revolving Credit
Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments (on a pro rata basis between them) by the amount of Net Proceeds applied to the Revolving Credit Loans. Following any such reduction, Borrower shall comply with the second paragraph
of subsection 4.3(a). 
  
 (b) Prepayments of Term Loans pursuant
to subsection 4.5 shall be applied pro rata to the Tranche A Term Loans, the Tranche B Term Loans and any Incremental Term Loans that are neither Tranche A Term Loans nor Tranche B Term Loans based upon the aggregate principal amount
of Term Loans then outstanding under each Tranche of Term Loans; within each Tranche prepayments will be applied to the remaining installments of principal on a pro rata basis. Except as otherwise may be directed by Borrower, any
prepayment of Loans pursuant to this subsection 4.7 shall be applied, first, to any Alternate Base Rate Loans of the applicable Tranche then outstanding and the balance of such prepayment, if any, to the Eurodollar Loans of the applicable
Tranche then outstanding; provided that prepayments of Eurodollar Loans, if not on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, shall, at the option of Borrower, be prepaid subject to the provisions of subsection 4.15 or the
amount of such prepayment (after application to any Alternate Base Rate Loans) shall be deposited with the Administrative 
  

 -51- 








 Agent as cash collateral for the Loans on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and thereafter shall
be applied in the order of the Interest Periods of the applicable Tranche next ending most closely to the date such prepayment is required to be made and on the last day of each such Interest Period. After such application, unless an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing (in which case such interest shall be held as cash collateral or applied by the Administrative Agent to any Obligations then due and payable), any remaining interest earned on such cash collateral shall
be paid to Borrower. 
  
 4.8. Interest Rates and Payment
Dates. (a) Eurodollar Loans shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period applicable thereto, commencing on (and including) the first day of such Interest Period to, but excluding, the last day of such Interest Period, on the
unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin. 
  

(b) Alternate Base Rate Loans shall bear interest for the period from and including the date such Loans are made to, but excluding, the maturity date
thereof, or to, but excluding, the conversion date if such Loans are earlier converted into Eurodollar Loans on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

  
 (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default the overdue amount of any Loans, Interest or other obligations shall, without limiting the rights of the Lenders under Section 9, bear interest (which shall be payable on demand): (a) in the case of any Loan, the rate otherwise applicable
to such Loan pursuant to this subsection 4.8 and the Applicable Margin plus 2%; and (b) in all other cases, a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days) equal to the
Alternate Base Rate and the Applicable Margin plus 2%. 
  
 (d)
Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this subsection 4.8, interest shall be payable in arrears (a) for Eurodollar Loans, at the end of each Interest Period (or, for any Interest Period longer than three months, at three month intervals
following the first day of such Interest Period) and on the final maturity of the Loans, and (b) for Alternate Base Rate Loans, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the final maturity of
the Loans. 
  
 4.9. Computation of Interest. (a) Interest
in respect of Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. Interest in respect of Eurodollar Loans shall be calculated on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in
the Alternate Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the Alternate Base Rate is announced or such change in the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements
becomes effective, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change. 
  
 (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be
conclusive and binding on Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of Borrower or any Lender, deliver to Borrower or such Lender a statement showing the quotations used by the
Administrative Agent in determining the Eurodollar Rate. 
  

 -52- 








 4.10. Certain Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, a
non-refundable agent’s fee in an amount previously agreed to with the Administrative Agent, payable annually in advance on the Closing Date and on each anniversary thereof unless all Loans have been (or are on such date) repaid and all
Commitments hereunder have been (or are on such date) terminated. 
  
 4.11. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. In the event that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower) that (a) by reason of
circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period with respect to (i) proposed Loans that Borrower has requested be made as Eurodollar
Loans, (ii) any Eurodollar Loans that will result from the requested conversion of all or part of the Alternate Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans or (iii) the continuation of any Eurodollar Loan as such for an additional Interest Period, or (b)
Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant period with respect to any such Eurodollar Loan are not generally available to the Lenders in their respective Eurodollar Lending Offices’ interbank eurodollar markets, the
Administrative Agent shall forthwith give telecopy notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower and the Lenders at least one day prior to, as the case may be, the requested Borrowing Date, the conversion date or the last day of
such Interest Period. If such notice is given (i) any requested Eurodollar Loans shall be made as Alternate Base Rate Loans, (ii) any Alternate Base Rate Loans that were to have been converted to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as Alternate Base
Rate Loans, and (iii) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto into Alternate Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no
further Eurodollar Loans shall be made and no Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be converted to Eurodollar Loans. 
  
 4.12. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, each borrowing of Loans by Borrower from the Lenders and
any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders hereunder shall be made pro rata according to the relevant Commitment Percentages of the Lenders with respect to the Loans borrowed or the Commitments to be reduced. 
  
 (b) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this
Agreement or any Note or any other Credit Document is insufficient to pay in full all amounts then due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and
applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the following order: first, to the payment of fees and expenses due and payable to the Administrative Agent (in such capacity and not in its capacity as a Lender) under and in connection
with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; second, to the payment of all expenses due and payable under subsection 11.5, ratably among the Lenders in accordance with the aggregate amount of such payments owed to each such Lender;
third, to the payment of fees due and payable under subsections 3.2 and 3.9, ratably among the Lenders in accordance with the Commitment Percentage of each Lender of the Commitment for which such payment is owed and, in the case of the
Issuing Lender, the amount retained by the Issuing Lender for its own account pursuant to subsection 3.9; fourth, to the payment of interest then due and payable on the Loans and the L/C Obligations ratably in accordance with the aggregate
amount of interest owed to each such Lender; and fifth, to the payment of the principal amount of the Loans and the L/C Obligations which is then due and payable ratably among the Lenders in accordance with the aggregate principal amount owed
to each such Lender. 
  

 -53- 








 (c) If any Lender (a “Non-Funding Lender”) has (x) failed to make a Revolving Credit
Loan required to be made by it hereunder, and the Administrative Agent has determined that such Lender is not likely to make such Revolving Credit Loan or (y) given notice to Borrower or the Administrative Agent that it will not make, or that it has
disaffirmed or repudiated any obligation to make, any Revolving Credit Loan, in each case by reason of the provisions of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, as amended, or otherwise, (i) any payment made on
account of the principal of the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding shall be made as follows: 
  
 (A) in the case of any such payment made on any date when and to the extent that, in the determination of the Administrative Agent,
Borrower would be able under the terms and conditions hereof to reborrow the amount of such payment under the Commitments and to satisfy any applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 to such reborrowing, such payment shall be made on
account of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans held by the Lenders other than the Non-Funding Lender pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lenders; and 
  
 (B) otherwise, such payment shall be made on account of the
outstanding Revolving Credit Loans held by the Lenders pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Revolving Credit Loans; and 
  
 (ii) any payment made on account of interest on the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective
amounts of accrued and unpaid interest due and payable on the Revolving Credit Loans with respect to which such payment is being made. Borrower agrees to give the Administrative Agent such assistance in making any determination pursuant to
subparagraph (i)(A) of this paragraph (c) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. Any such determination by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders. 
  
 (d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower on account
of principal, interest and fees shall be made without set-off, counterclaim or other defense and shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s office located at 1221 Avenue of the
Americas, NY, NY 10020, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such payments in accordance with the provisions of subsection 4.12(b) upon receipt in like funds as
received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Eurodollar Loans) would become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall become due and payable on the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments
of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day (and with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension), unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month
in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. 
  
 (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its Commitment 
  

 -54- 








 Percentage of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender
is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent in accordance with subsection 4.1 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available
to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Rate for the period
until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection 4.12(e) shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. If such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such borrowing is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled
to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans hereunder (in lieu of any otherwise applicable interest), on demand, from Borrower, without prejudice to any rights which any
such Borrower or the Administrative Agent may have against such Lender hereunder. Nothing contained in this subsection 4.12 shall relieve any Lender which has failed to make available its ratable portion of any borrowing hereunder from its
obligation to do so in accordance with the terms hereof. 
  
 (f)
The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it on any Borrowing Date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on such Borrowing Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of
any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on such Borrowing Date. 
  
 (g) All payments and optional prepayments (other than prepayments as set forth in subsection 4.14 with respect to increased costs) of Eurodollar Loans hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such
elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all Eurodollar Loans with the same Interest Period shall not be less than $1,000,000 a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. 
  
 4.13. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any
Change in Law occurring after the date that any Person becomes a Lender party to this Agreement shall make it unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, the commitment of such Lender hereunder to
make Eurodollar Loans or to convert all or a portion of Alternate Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be suspended until such time, if any, as such illegality shall no longer exist and such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as
Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Alternate Base Rate Loans for the duration of the respective Interest Periods (or, if permitted by applicable law, at the end of such Interest Periods) and all payments of principal which
would otherwise be applied to such Eurodollar Loans shall be applied instead to such Lender’s Alternate Base Rate Loans. Borrower hereby agrees to pay any Lender, promptly upon its demand, any amounts payable pursuant to subsection 4.15 in
connection with any conversion in accordance with this subsection 4.13 (such Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified in reasonable detail as to such amounts to Borrower through the Administrative Agent, to be conclusive absent manifest
error). 
  
 4.14. Requirements of Law. (a) In the event
that any Change in Law or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority occurring after the date that any lender becomes a Lender party to this
Agreement: 
  
 (i) does or shall subject any such
Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Note or any Eurodollar Loans made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office of
principal, the commitment fee, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for (x) net income and franchise taxes imposed on the net income of such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office by the United States or any political subdivision
thereof or therein, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or by any jurisdiction in which such Lender’s Eurodollar Lending Office is located or
any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, including changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or such Eurodollar Lending Office, and (y) taxes resulting from the substitution of any such system by
another system of taxation; provided that the taxes payable by Lenders subject to such other system of taxation are not generally charged to borrowers from such Lenders having loans or advances bearing interest at a rate similar to the
Eurodollar Rate); 
  

 -55- 








 (ii) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which are
not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or 
  
 (iii) does or shall impose on such Lender any other condition which is applicable to lenders generally; 
  
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office of making, converting, renewing or maintaining advances or
extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, in each case, in respect of its Eurodollar Loans, then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate
such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which such Lender deems to be material as reasonably determined by such Lender with respect to such Eurodollar Loans, together with interest on each such amount from the date demanded
until payment in full thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus 1%. 
  
 (b) In the event that any Change in Law occurring after the date that any Person becomes a Lender party to this Agreement with respect to any such Lender
shall, in the reasonable opinion of such Lender, require that any Commitment of such Lender be treated as an asset or otherwise be included for purposes of calculating the appropriate amount of capital to be maintained by such Lender or any
corporation controlling such Lender, and such Change in Law shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital, as the case may be, as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations
hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation, as the case may be, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into account such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies, as the case may be, with respect
to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time following notice by such Lender to Borrower of such Change in Law as provided in paragraph (c) of this subsection 4.14, within 15 days after
demand by such Lender, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation on an after-tax basis, as the case may be, for such reduction. 
  

 -56- 








 (c) Borrower shall not be required to make any payments to any Lender for any additional amounts pursuant
to this subsection 4.14 unless such Lender has given written notice to Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, of its intent to request such payments prior to or within 60 days after the date on which such Lender became entitled to claim such
amounts. If any Lender has notified Borrower through the Administrative Agent of any increased costs pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection 4.14, Borrower at any time thereafter may, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the
Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and subject to subsection 4.15, prepay (or convert into Alternate Base Rate Loans) all (but not a part) of the Eurodollar Loans of the applicable Lender then outstanding. Each
Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of paragraph (a) of this subsection 4.14 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by Borrower and to the extent permitted by law or by the relevant
Governmental Authority, endeavor in good faith to avoid or minimize the increase in costs or reduction in payments resulting from such event (including, without limitation, endeavoring to change its Eurodollar Lending Office); provided that
such avoidance or minimization can be made in such a manner that such Lender, in its sole determination, suffers no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage. If any Lender requests compensation from any Borrower under this subsection 4.14,
Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender thereafter to make or continue Loans of the Type with respect to which such compensation is requested, or to convert Loans of any
other Type into Loans of such Type, until the Requirement of Law giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect; provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested. 

 
 (d) Subject to subsection 4.14(d)(iv) below, (i) all payments by Borrower
or any Guarantor to or for the account of any Lender, Issuing Lender or Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense and free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any
and all Covered Taxes. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender, Issuing Lender or Administrative Agent, (a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so
that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this subsection 4.14(d)) such Lender, Issuing Lender or Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (b) Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings, (c) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in
accordance with applicable law and (d) Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made. 
  
 (ii) In addition, Borrower hereby agrees to pay and indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and
each Lender and Issuing Lender from any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution, delivery,
enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note or Guarantee, and all interest, fines, penalties and additions to tax and related expenses with regard thereto (“Other Taxes”). 
  
 (iii) Borrower and the Guarantors, jointly and severally,
hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent and each Lender and Issuing Lender for the full amount of Covered Taxes (including, without limitation, any Covered Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this subsection 4.14(d)) paid
by Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Lender 
  

 -57- 








 and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Covered Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date Administrative Agent or such
Lender or Issuing Lender makes demand therefor. 
  
 (iv) Each Lender that is not a United States Person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for federal income tax purposes either (1) in the case of a Lender that is a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of
the Code, (i) agrees, to the extent legally entitled to do so, to furnish to Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor form)
(wherein such Lender claims entitlement at the Closing Date (or, in the case of an Assignee, on the date it becomes a Lender) to a complete exemption from or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax on interest payments hereunder) and (ii)
agrees (for the benefit of Borrower and the Administrative Agent), to the extent legally entitled do so at such times, upon reasonable request by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to provide Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a
new Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (or successor form) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations duly executed and completed by such Lender that
establishes a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax on interest payments hereunder or (2) in the case of a Lender that is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (i) agrees,
to the extent legally entitled to do so, to furnish to Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, (a) a Non-Bank Certificate and (b) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor
form), certifying to such Lender’s legal entitlement at the Closing Date (or, in the case of an Assignee, on the date it becomes a Lender) to a complete exemption from or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax, under the provisions of
Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to interest payments to be made under this Agreement, and (ii) agrees, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to provide to
Borrower (for the benefit of Borrower and the Administrative Agent) such other forms as may be required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender to a complete exemption from, or reduction in, U.S. federal withholding with respect
to interest payments under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this subsection 4.14 to the contrary, Borrower shall have no obligation to pay any amount to or for the account of any Lender on account of any U.S. federal withholding
taxes pursuant to this subsection 4.14, to the extent that such amount results from the failure of any Lender to comply with its obligations pursuant to this subsection 4.14. 
  
 (e) A certificate in reasonable detail as to any amounts submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to
Borrower, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The covenants contained in this subsection 4.14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and repayment of the Loans. 
  
 4.15. Indemnity. Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors agree to jointly and severally indemnify each Lender and to
hold such Lender harmless from any loss or expense (but (x) without duplication of any amounts payable as default interest and (y) excluding any loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by
Borrower in making a borrowing 
  

 -58- 








 after Borrower has given a notice in accordance with subsection 4.1 or in making a conversion of Alternate Base Rate
Loans to Eurodollar Loans or in continuing Eurodollar Loans as such, in either case, after Borrower has given notice in accordance with subsection 4.2, (b) default by Borrower in making any prepayment after Borrower has given a notice in accordance
with subsection 4.4 or (c) a payment or prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan or conversion (including without limitation, as a result of subsections 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6 and/or a conversion pursuant to subsection 4.13) of any Eurodollar Loan into an Alternate
Base Rate Loan, in either case on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, including, but not limited to, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained
by it in order to maintain its Eurodollar Loans hereunder (but excluding loss of profit). This covenant shall survive termination of this Agreement and repayment of the Loans. The payment of an amount due hereunder as a result of Borrower failing to
make a borrowing, payment or conversion after delivering notice of the same shall constitute a cure of any Default or Event of Default arising therefrom. 
  
 4.16. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Lender (i) the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of such Lender on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, (ii) the principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loan of such Lender, in installments, payable on each Tranche A
Installment Payment Date, in accordance with subsection 4.6(a) (or the then unpaid principal amount of such Tranche A Term Loan on the date that the Tranche A Term Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9), (iii) the principal amount of
the Tranche B Term Loan (including the principal amount of any Incremental Term Loan that is a Tranche B Term Loan) of such Lender, in installments, payable on each Tranche B Installment Payment Date, in accordance with subsection 4.6(b) (or the
then unpaid principal amount of such Tranche B Term Loan on the date that the Tranche B Term Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9), and (iv) the then unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line Loans of the Swing Line Lender on the
Revolving Credit Termination Date. Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans from time to time outstanding from the Closing Date until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum and
on the dates set forth in subsection 4.8. 
  
 (b) Each Lender
shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and
paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. 
  
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to subsection 11.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Revolving Credit Loan, Tranche A Term Loan, Tranche B Term
Loan and any Incremental Term Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrower to each Lender hereunder and
(iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. 
  
 (d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to subsection 4.16(b) shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of Borrower therein recorded; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such
account, or any error 
  

 -59- 








 therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to
Borrower by such Lender or to repay any other obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 (e) Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender (i) a promissory
note of Borrower evidencing the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit A with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (a “Revolving Credit Note”), (ii) a promissory note of
Borrower evidencing the Tranche A Term Loan of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (a “Tranche A Term Note”), (iii) a promissory note of such
Borrower evidencing the Tranche B Term Loan of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (a “Tranche B Term Note”), (iv) a promissory note of Borrower
evidencing any Incremental Term Loan of such Lender (an “Incremental Term Note”) and/or (v) in the case of the Swing Line Lender, a promissory note of Borrower evidencing the Swing Line Loans of the Swing Line Lender, substantially
in the form of Exhibit C with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (the “Swing Line Note”). 
  
 4.17. Replacement of Lenders. In the event any Lender or the Issuing Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, exercises its rights pursuant to subsection
4.13 or requests payments pursuant to subsections 3.10 or 4.14, Borrower may require, at Borrower’s expense (including payment of any processing fees under subsection 11.6(e)) and subject to subsection 4.15, such Lender or the Issuing Lender to
assign, at par plus accrued interest and fees, without recourse (in accordance with subsection 11.6) all of its interests, rights and obligations hereunder (including all of its Commitments and the Loans and other amounts at the time owing to it
hereunder and its Notes and its interest in the Letters of Credit) to a bank, financial institution or other entity specified by Borrower; provided that (i) such assignment shall not conflict with or violate any law, rule or regulation or
order of any court or other Governmental Authority, (ii) Borrower shall have received the written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, to such assignment, (iii) Borrower shall have paid to the
assigning Lender or the Issuing Lender all monies other than principal, interest and fees accrued and owing hereunder to it (including pursuant to subsections 3.10, 4.13, 4.14 and 4.15) and (iv) in the case of a required assignment by the Issuing
Lender, the Letters of Credit shall be canceled and returned to the Issuing Lender. 
  
 4.18. Procedure for Incremental Loan Requests. Borrower may solicit requests from any one or more Lenders or other financial institutions for the provision of (i) a commitment for an Incremental Revolving Loan
(each, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment”) or an Incremental Term Loan (each, an “Incremental Term Commitment”), as the case may be, and (ii) the margins, if any, to be added by such Lenders or other financial
institutions to the Alternate Base Rate and the Eurodollar Rate for Loans made under such Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Commitments (any such margin, an “Incremental Margin”); provided that if,
pursuant to an Incremental Loan Amendment with respect to an Incremental Term Loan that is not a Tranche A Term Loan or Tranche B Term Loan, any net yield for such Incremental Term Loan is in excess of 25 basis points above the comparable margin set
forth for Tranche B Term Loans in the definition of Applicable Margin, the Applicable Margin for outstanding Tranche B Term Loans shall automatically be increased, as of the effective date of the applicable Incremental Loan Amendment, to any extent
required so that the margin applicable thereto is 25 basis points less than the margin for such Incremental Term Loan without any action or consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender. The Administrative Agent shall approve any
financial institution wishing to provide an Incremental Revolving Commitment, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

 SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
  
 In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the
Loans and to induce the Issuing Lender to issue, and the Participating Lenders to participate in, the Letters of Credit, Borrower and Holdings hereby represent and warrant to each Lender and the Administrative Agent as of the date hereof (it being
understood that notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Holdings and its Subsidiaries will not have acquired the System until the Closing Date) and, except as otherwise stated to be as of a different date, as of the date of the making of any
extension of credit hereunder (including without limitation the Closing Date): 
  
 5.1. Financial Statements; Financial Condition. (a) The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of Holdings at September 30, 2003 (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet”) and the related
unaudited pro forma statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 (collectively, the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”), copies of which have heretofore been
furnished to each Lender, have been prepared giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions as if they had occurred on September 30, 2003 in the case of such balance sheet and on January 1, 2002 in the case of such statements of operations.
The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared in good faith by Borrower, based on assumptions Borrower believes to be reasonable, accurately reflect in all material respects all adjustments required to be made to give effect to the
Transactions and present fairly in all material respects on a Pro Forma Basis the financial position and results of operations of Holdings and its Subsidiaries as at and for such dates, assuming that the Transactions had actually occurred at such

provided on the books of Holdings or one of its Subsidiaries (including after giving effect to the Transactions), as the case may be, and (y) which could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect).

 5.13. Ownership of Property; Liens. As of
the Closing Date and as of the making of any extension of credit hereunder (subject to transfers and dispositions of property permitted under subsection 8.5), each of Holdings and its Subsidiaries has good and valid title (or, in the case of
Intellectual Property, a valid license) to all of its material assets necessary for the conduct of its business (other than (x) Real Property and (y) minor irregularities or deficiencies in title which, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect), in each case free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens. With respect to each Mortgaged Property and each Real Property owned by Holdings and its Subsidiaries listed on Schedule
5.13, as of the Closing Date, each of Holdings or its applicable Subsidiary has (i) good and marketable fee title thereto, all of which are listed on Schedule 5.13 under the heading “Fee Properties” (each, a “Fee

case other than with respect to the proceedings in connection with the property located at 201 South Mechanic Street, Cumberland, Maryland. 
  
 5.14. ERISA. (a) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for
which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Pension 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 an amount that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect the fair
market value of the assets of all such underfunded Pension Plans. Each ERISA Entity is in compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, except to the
extent any noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 (b) Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries maintains or contributes to any benefit plan, program, policy, arrangement or agreement with respect to employees (or former employees) employed outside the United

 5.15. Collateral Documents. (a) Upon execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto and the making of Loans hereunder, the Security

securities described therein and, when certificates representing or constituting the pledged securities described in the Security Agreement are delivered to the Administrative Agent, such security interest shall constitute a perfected first Lien on,
and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the pledgor party thereto in the pledged securities described therein (to the extent such matter is governed by the law of the United States or a jurisdiction therein). No filings or
recordings are required in order to perfect the security interest created in the pledged securities described in the Security Agreement and the proceeds thereof other than filings on Form UCC-1 (which filings have been made) and no consent of any
Person including any other general or limited partner, any other member of a limited liability company, any other shareholder or any other trust beneficiary is necessary or desirable in connection with the creation, perfection or first priority
status of the security interest of the Administrative Agent in any pledged securities or the exercise by the Administrative Agent of the voting or other rights provided for in the Security Agreement or the exercise of remedies in respect thereof.

  
 (b) Upon execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto
and the making of Loans hereunder, the Security Agreement will be effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on and security interest in all right, title and
interest of the Credit Parties in the collateral described therein (to the extent such matter is governed by the law of the United States or a jurisdiction therein), and UCC financing statements have been filed in each of the jurisdictions listed on
Schedule 5.15(b), or arrangements have been made for such filing in such jurisdictions, and upon such filing or such other filings referenced in subsection 5.15(d), and upon the taking of possession or control by the Administrative Agent of
any such collateral the security interests in which may be perfected only by possession or control (to the extent possession or control by the Administrative Agent is required by the Security Agreement), such security 
  

 -65- 








 interests will, subject to the existence of Permitted Liens, constitute perfected first priority Liens on, and security
interests in, all right, title and interest of the debtor party thereto in the collateral described therein, except to the extent that a security interest cannot be perfected therein by the filing of a financing statement or the taking of possession
under the UCC of the relevant jurisdiction (or, if a security interest can be perfected only by possession or control, to the extent possession or control by the Administrative Agent is not required pursuant to the Security Agreement). Each Credit
Party has good and marketable title (or, in the case of Intellectual Property, a valid license) to all Collateral pledged by it under the Security Agreement, free and clear of all Liens except those described above in this clause (b) and except for
Permitted Liens. 
  
 (c) Upon execution and delivery thereof by
the relevant Credit Party, each Mortgage will be effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in and Lien on the rights, title and interest of the
applicable Credit Party thereto in the collateral described therein, and upon proper recording the Mortgages in the jurisdictions listed on Schedule 5.13 (or, in the case of a Mortgage delivered pursuant to subsection 7.9, the jurisdiction in
which the property covered by such Mortgage is located), such security interests and Lien will, subject to the existence of Permitted Encumbrances, constitute first priority liens on, and perfected security interests in, all rights, title and
interest of the debtor party thereto in the collateral described therein. 
  
 (d) The recordation of the Security Agreement (or a short form thereof) in U.S. Patents and Trademarks in the United States Patent and Trademark Office together with filings on Form UCC-1 made pursuant to the Security
Agreement are effective, under applicable law, to perfect the security interest, as collateral security for the payment and performance of the Loans and the other Obligations, granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in the
registered trademarks and patents covered by such Security Agreement in U.S. Patents and Trademarks and the recordation of the Security Agreement in U.S. Copyrights with the United States Copyright Office together with filings on Form UCC-1 made

of the Lenders in the registered copyrights covered by such Security Agreement in U.S. Copyrights. 
  
 (e) Upon execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto and the making of Loans hereunder, the Security Agreement will be effective to create in
favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on and security interest in all rights, title and interest of the Credit Parties in the Commercial Motor Vehicles (as such term is defined
in the Security Agreement) and any and all Accessions (as such term is defined in the UCC) thereto and notations on the Certificates of Title for each of the Commercial Motor Vehicles filed in each of the jurisdictions listed on Schedule 17 to the
perfection certificate delivered pursuant to subsection 6.1(n) have been made, or arrangements have been made for such filing in such jurisdictions, and upon the making of such notation, such security interests will, subject to the existence of
Permitted Liens, constitute perfected first priority liens on, and security interests in, all right, title and interest of the debtor party thereto in the Commercial Motor Vehicles and Accessions (as defined in the UCC) thereto.

party or parties to such Interest Rate Agreements or beneficiary or beneficiaries of such Contingent Obligation (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder or holders or beneficiary or beneficiaries) to cause (determined without regard to
whether any notice or lapse of time is required), such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity, such Interest Rate Agreement to be terminated, or such Contingent Obligation to become payable, (B) any such Indebtedness, Interest Rate

 SECTION 10. THE AGENTS AND THE ISSUING LENDER 
  
 10.1. Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Société Générale as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents and

expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall
have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into the Credit
Documents or otherwise exist against any Agent. 
  
 10.2.
Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care, except as otherwise provided in subsection 10.3.

  
 10.3. Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with the Credit Documents (except for its or such
Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Credit Party or any officer thereof contained in the Credit
Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or 
  

 -109- 








 provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, the Credit Documents or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of the Credit Documents or for any failure of any Credit Party to perform its obligations thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as
to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, any Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party.

relying, upon any Note, entries maintained in the Register, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed
by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to Borrower), independent accountants and other experts
selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, where a higher
percentage of the Lenders is expressly required hereunder, such Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of
taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under any Credit Document in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (unless a higher
percentage of Lenders is expressly required), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Notes. 
  
 10.5. Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent has received written notice from an Agent, a Lender or Borrower or any other Credit Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of
Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall
take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent
may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. 
  
 10.6. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly
acknowledges that no Agent nor any officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates thereof has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of
the Credit Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and made its own
decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such 
  

 -110- 








 documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals
and decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower
and its Subsidiaries. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or
other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Credit Parties which may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates. 
  
 10.7. Indemnification.
The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agents in their capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), ratably according to the respective amounts of their
respective Commitments (or, to the extent such Commitments have been terminated, according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans and the L/C Obligations and the respective obligations, whether as Issuing Lender or a
Participating Lender, under the Letter of Credit), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Lender which may at any time
(whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, the Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the
transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by such 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,
claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements resulting solely from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this subsection 10.7 shall survive the
repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
  
 10.8. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Party as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder. With
respect to Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers, duties and liabilities under the Credit Documents as any Lender and may exercise the
same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include such Agent in its individual capacity. 
  
 10.9. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and
Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders which successor agent shall, so long as no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, be approved by Borrower, which shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term
“Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or
further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Notes. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the applicable Administrative Agent by the date which is 30
days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of registration, the retiring Administrative 
  

 -111- 








 Agent’s registration shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties
of such Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of
this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents. 
  
 10.10. Issuing Lender as Issuer of Letters of Credit. Each Revolving Credit Lender hereby acknowledges that the
provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to the Issuing Lender, in its capacity as issuer of the Letters of Credit, in the same manner as such provisions are expressly stated to apply to the Administrative Agent, except that obligations to
indemnify the Issuing Lender shall be ratable among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments (or, if the Revolving Credit Commitments and Incremental
Revolving Commitments have been terminated, the outstanding principal amount of their respective Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations and their respective participating interests in the outstanding Letters of Credit). 
  
 10.11. Other Agents. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that none of the
Co-Syndication Agents, the Arranger, the Documentation Agent or any other Lender designated as “Agent” hereunder or herein or on any Credit Document hereof has any liability hereunder other than its capacity as a Lender. Each party hereto
agrees that each Agent not a signatory hereto shall be a third party beneficiary of the rights herein set forth applicable to such Agent. 
  
 SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 11.1. Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, no Credit Document nor any terms thereof may be amended,
supplemented, waived or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 11.1; provided that, prior to the Closing Date, no amendment, supplement, waiver or modification of this Agreement shall be permitted without the
prior written consent of the Arranger and the Administrative Agent. With the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent (acting at the request of the Required Lenders) and the applicable Credit Parties or their Subsidiaries
may, from time to time, enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to any Credit Document to which they are parties or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of any such
Credit Party or its Subsidiaries thereunder or waiving, on such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of any such Credit Document or any Default or Event of Default and its
consequences; provided that: 
  
 (a) no
such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release any Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee in any such case without the written consent of all Lenders;
provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph (a) shall not be applicable to and no consent shall be required for (x) releases of Collateral in connection with any dispositions permitted by subsection 8.5, or (y) release of any
Guarantor in connection with the sale or other disposition of a Guarantor (or all or substantially all of its assets) permitted by the Agreement; 
  

 -112- 








 (b) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall reduce the
amount of or extend the date of any scheduled amortization payment of any Term Loan or forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Note (it being understood that subsection 4.5 does not provide for a
final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Note), or extend the stated expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Credit Termination Date as then in effect, or reduce the stated rate of any interest, fee or letter of credit
commission payable hereunder (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interests, fees or letter of credit commission, and it being further understood and agreed that any amendment or modification to the
financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest, fees or letter of credit commission for the purposes of this clause (b)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment of any interest, fee or commitment
commission, or increase the amount of the Commitments except as a result of an Incremental Term Loan pursuant to this Agreement (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or
of mandatory reductions in the Commitments shall not constitute an increase in the Commitments of any Lender), or modify subsection 4.12, subsection 11.7(a) or subsection 12.3 in each case without the written consent of each Lender whose
obligations, Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, held hereunder are being directly modified thereby and all of the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility may extend the Revolving Credit
Termination Date (it being understood that the consent of no other Lender or Agent need be obtained); 
  
 (c) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall amend, modify or waive any provision of this subsection 11.1
(except for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement which afford the protections to such additional extensions of credit of the type provided to the Loans and the Commitments on the Closing
Date) or reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders (it being understood that, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the
determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments are included in the Closing Date), or consent to the assignment or transfer by Borrower of any of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; 
  
 (d) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall change the allocation of payments between the Term Loan
Facilities pursuant to subsection 4.7 without the written consent of the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of each Term Loan Facility adversely affected thereby (it being understood and agreed that, with the consent of the Required Lenders,
additional extensions of term loans may be included for purposes of allocation of payments pursuant to subsection 4.7 on substantially the same basis as either the Tranche A Term Loans or Tranche B Term Loans (as agreed by Borrower and the Required
Lenders) are treated on the Closing Date); 
  
 (e) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority Facility Lenders with respect to any Facility without the written consent of all Lenders under such
Facility; 
  

 -113- 








 (f) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification affecting the then
Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender shall amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 10 without the written consent of such Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender, as the case may be; 
  
 (g) without the consent of any other Agent or of any Lender,
the Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Credit Document) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Credit Document, or enter into any new
agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional Property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local
law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any Property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law; and 
  
 (h) with respect to any Incremental Facility, the related Incremental Loan Amendment, and any waiver,
consent or other amendment to any term or provision of this Agreement necessary or advisable to effectuate any Incremental Facility or any provision thereof in accordance with the terms of, or the intent of, this Agreement, shall be effective when
executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Incremental Term Lender making the related Incremental Term Commitment or Incremental Revolving Lender making the related Incremental Revolving Commitment, as the case may be; 

 
 provided, further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any such waiver
and any such amendment, supplement or modification described in this subsection 11.1 shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing
Lender and all future holders of the Notes and the Loans. Any extension of a Letter of Credit by the Issuing Lender shall be treated hereunder as a new Letter of Credit. In the case of any waiver, the Credit Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative
Agent and Issuing Lender shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the outstanding Notes, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to
any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the written concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or
consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or
further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
  
 If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all affected Lenders, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of
other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this subsection 11.1 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Lender acting as the
Administrative Agent has agreed in writing, at Borrower’s request, the Administrative Agent or an Eligible Assignee reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right, subject to compliance with subsection 11.6, to purchase
from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent or such Eligible Assignee, all of the Commitments
and Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the 
  

 -114- 








 principal balance of all Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto
through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment and Acceptance. 
  
 11.2. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by

 11.3. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any
right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other

 11.4. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations
and warranties made hereunder and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Letters of Credit and the Notes and the making of the
extensions of credit hereunder. 
  
 11.5. Payment of Expenses
and Taxes; Indemnification. (a) Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each of the Agents and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agents
in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Credit Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated or any such amendment, modification or waiver becomes effective), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Lenders in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents, the Issuing Lender or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel
for the Agents, the Issuing Lender or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with the Credit Documents, including their rights under this subsection 11.5, or in connection with the Loans made, or
Letters of Credit issued or drawn hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. 
  
 (b) The Credit Parties agree to indemnify the Agents, the Issuing Lender and
each Lender, and each of their Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and controlled parties of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each
Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel (and environmental consultants or professionals) for any Indemnitee, incurred by
or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Credit Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties to the Credit
Documents 
  

 -116- 








 of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated
hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an Issuing Lenders to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not
strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from any Mortgaged Property or any other property currently or formerly owned, leased or otherwise
operated by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any liability under Environmental Laws related in any way to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (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 bad faith, gross negligence, breach of this Agreement or other Credit Documents or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitees or (v) any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other similar taxes (other than withholding taxes), if any, which may
be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of,
any Credit Document and any such other documents. 
  
 (c) To the
extent that a Credit Party fails to pay any amount required to be paid by them to an Agent or an Issuing Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this subsection 11.5, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent or each Revolving Credit Lender
agrees to pay such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s or Revolving Credit Lender’s, as the case may be, pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of
such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent or such Issuing Lender in its capacity as such.
For purposes hereof, a Lender’s or Revolving Credit Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the aggregate amount of the total Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit
Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, at the time. 
  
 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Credit Party shall assert, and each Credit Party 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, Letter of Credit or the use of the
proceeds thereof. 
  
 (e) All amounts due under this subsection
11.5 shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor. 
  
 (f) The Credit Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each Issuer for, and hold the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each Issuing Lender harmless from and against, any and all claims for brokerage
commissions, fees and other compensation made against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders for any broker, finder or consultant with respect to any agreement, arrangement or understanding made by or on behalf of Borrower or
any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
  

 -117- 








 (g) The Credit Parties agree that any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee
pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this subsection 11.5) or any other Credit Document shall (i) survive payment in full of the Obligations, (ii) survive the release of all or any portion of the Collateral and (iii) inure to the
benefit of any Person that was at any time an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Credit Document. 
  
 11.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Credit
Parties, the Lenders, each Agent, all future holders of the Notes and the Loans, and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of each Lender. 
  
 (b) Any Lender may, in the
ordinary course of its commercial banking, lending or investment business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to
such Lender, any participating interest in the Letters of Credit of such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating
interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the
holder of any such Note for all purposes under this Agreement and Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and
the other Credit Documents. Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Notes are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each
Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any Note to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a
Lender under this Agreement or any Note; provided that such right of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of such Participant to share with the Lenders, and the Lenders agree to share with such Participant, as provided in subsection
11.7. Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections 3.10, 4.14 and 4.15 with respect to its participation in the Letters of Credit and in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if
it were a Lender; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such subsection than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation
transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred, except in the case of subsection 4.14, where the entitlement to greater payments results from a Change in Law after such Participant became a Participant. Each
Lender agrees that the participation agreement pursuant to which any Participant acquires its participating interest (or any other document) may afford voting rights to such Participant, or any right to instruct such Lender with respect to voting
hereunder, only with respect to matters requiring the consent of either all of the Lenders hereunder or all of the Lenders holding the relevant Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments subject to such
participation. 
  
 (c) Subject to paragraph (g) of this subsection
11.6, any Lender may at any time and from time to time, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking, lending or investment business and in accordance with applicable law, 
  

 -118- 








 (i) assign all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement relating to
the Term Loans and the Term Notes to any Lender or any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by such Assignee and such assigning Lender, and delivered to the Administrative Agent (for its
acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined below)); 
  
 (ii) assign, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement relating to the Revolving
Credit Loans, the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or any Incremental Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Credit Notes to any Lender or any Affiliate thereof pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by such Assignee and such assigning
Lender and the Administrative Agent, and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; and 
  
 (iii) assign to one or more Eligible Assignees, all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes pursuant
to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by such Assignee and such assigning Lender (and, in the case of an Eligible Assignee that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, by Borrower (to the extent such assignment is not
in connection with assignments by the Arranger or any of its Affiliates in connection with the syndication of the Loans and Commitments from the date hereof through the Closing Date and within the first 30 days after the Closing Date and so long as
no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) and the Administrative Agent), and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register. 
  
 Each sale pursuant to clause (iii) of this subsection 11.6(c) shall be in a principal amount of at least $1,000,000 (or such lesser amounts
as the Administrative Agent and Borrower may determine) unless the assigning Lender is transferring all of its rights and obligations. In the event of a sale of less than all of such rights and obligations, such Lender after any such sale shall
retain Commitments and/or Loans and/or L/C Participating Interests aggregating at least $1,000,000 (or in such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent and Borrower may determine). Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and
after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder
with a Commitment as set forth therein, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest transferred, as reflected in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case
of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of a transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such transferor Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of the indemnification provisions set forth in subsection 11.5). 
  
 (d) The Administrative Agent, which for purposes of this subsection 11.6(d) only shall be deemed to be the agent of Borrower, shall maintain at the address of the Administrative Agent referred to in subsection 11.2 a
copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender
from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or
other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, 
  

 -119- 








 notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of any Loan or other obligation hereunder shall be effective
only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, the Arranger or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

  
 (e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed
by an assigning Lender and an Assignee (and by Borrower and the Administrative Agent to the extent required by paragraph (c) of this subsection 11.6), together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500
if the Assignee is not a Lender or Affiliate of such Lender prior to the execution of such Assignment and Acceptance and $1,000 otherwise, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective
date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and Borrower (and no such assignment shall become effective unless and until so recorded);
provided that, in the case of contemporaneous assignments by a Lender to more than one fund managed by the same investment advisor or an Affiliate of such investment advisor (which funds are not then Lenders hereunder), only a single $3,500
fee shall be payable for all such contemporaneous assignments. On or prior to such effective date, Borrower at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for any or all of the Term Notes or Revolving Credit
Notes of the assigning Lender, if any (or if any Note is lost, an affidavit of such loss and indemnity satisfactory to Borrower)) new Term Notes or Revolving Credit Notes, as the case may be, to the order of such Assignee (if requested) in an amount
equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Incremental Revolving Commitment or the Term Loans, as the case may be, assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has retained a Commitment or any Term Loans
hereunder, new Term Notes or Revolving Credit Notes, as the case may be, to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment or such Term Loans, as the case may be, retained by it hereunder (if requested). Such new Notes shall
be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Notes replaced thereby. 
  
 (f) Each Agent and the Lenders agree that they will use reasonable efforts to protect the confidentiality of any confidential information concerning Holdings, Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates. Each Credit
Party authorizes each Lender to disclose (i) to its employees, officers, Affiliates and advisors, who shall be bound by the confidentiality provisions hereof, (ii) to any regulatory authority as required by law or to any quasi-regulatory authority
(including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) in connection with any enforcement or other legal action, (iv) to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all
information in such Lender’s possession concerning Holdings and its Subsidiaries which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of any Credit Party pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf
of any Credit Party in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of Holdings and its Subsidiaries prior to becoming a party to this Agreement; provided that each Lender shall cause its respective prospective and actual Transferees
to agree in writing to protect the confidentiality of any confidential information concerning each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, (v) as has become generally available to the public, (vi) as may be required or appropriate in any
report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such party or to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, and (vii) as may be required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation or regulatory proceeding;
provided, however, that each 

  

 -120- 








 
Credit Party acknowledges that the Administrative Agent has disclosed and may continue to disclose such information as the Administrative Agent in its sole
discretion determines is appropriate to the Lenders from time to time. 
  
 (g) If, pursuant to this subsection 11.6, any interest in this Agreement or any Note is transferred to any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor
Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the terms of this Agreement including without limitation subsection 4.14(d). 
  
 (h) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this subsection 11.6 concerning
assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any
Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law; 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. 
  
 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, any Lender (the “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative
Agent and Borrower, the option to provide to Borrower all or any part of any Loan that the Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any
SPV to make any Loan, (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of an Loan by an
SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation
under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is
one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection 11.6(i), any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the
prior written consent of, Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to in writing by
Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis, subject to and in accordance with subsection
11.6(f), any information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV. This section may not be amended without the written consent of any
adversely affected SPV. 
  
 11.7. Adjustments; Set-off. (a)
If any relevant Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of any of its Loans or L/C Participating Interests, as the case may be, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect
thereof (whether voluntarily 
  

 -121- 








 or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in clause (f) of Section 9, or
otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and collateral received by any other relevant Lender (other than in accordance with any provision hereof expressly providing for payments to be made only to an individual Lender or to the
Lenders of a particular Facility), if any, in respect of such other relevant Lender’s Loans or L/C Participating Interests, as the case may be, or interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other relevant Lenders
such portion of each such other relevant Lender’s Loans or L/C Participating Interests, as the case may be, or shall provide such other relevant Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to
cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the relevant Lenders; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from
such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Credit Party agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s
Loans and/or L/C Participating Interests may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion. The Administrative Agent
shall promptly give Borrower notice of any set-off; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off. 
  
 (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any Credit Party, any
such notice being expressly waived by each Credit Party to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default to set off and apply against any indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured, of any Credit Facility to
such Lender, any amount owing from such Lender to any Credit Party, at or at any time after, the happening of any of the above mentioned events. As security for such indebtedness, any Credit Party hereby grants to each Lender a continuing security
interest in any and all deposits, accounts or moneys of any Credit Party then or thereafter maintained with such Lender, subject in each case to subsection 11.7(a) of this Agreement. The aforesaid right of set-off may, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be exercised by such Lender against any Credit Party or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of any Credit Party, or
against anyone else claiming through or against any Credit Party or such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such
right of set-off shall not have been exercised by such Lender prior to the making, filing or issuance, or service upon such Lender of, or of notice of, any such petition; assignment for the benefit of creditors; appointment or application for the
appointment of a receiver; or issuance of execution, subpoena, order or warrant. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure
to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. 
  
 11.8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to
constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with Borrower and the Administrative Agent. This Agreement shall become effective with respect to Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders when the Administrative Agent shall have received copies of this Agreement executed by Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or, in the case of any Lender, shall have received telephonic confirmation from such
Lender stating that such Lender has executed counterparts of this Agreement or the signature pages hereto and sent the same to the Administrative Agent. 
  

 -122- 








 11.9. Governing Law; Third Party Rights. This Agreement and the Notes and the rights and
obligations of the parties under this Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns, and, except as set forth in subsection 11.9, no other Persons shall have any right, benefit, priority or interest under, or because of the existence of, this Agreement. The designation of any Agent by the
Administrative Agent in connection with the syndication hereof shall entitle such Agents to certain rights as third-party beneficiaries as provided herein, without any further act by any party hereto. 
  
 11.10. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. (a) Each party to this
Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: 
  
 (i) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general
jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof; 
  
 (ii) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts, and waives any objection
that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; 
  
 (iii) agrees that service of process in any such action or
proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party at its address set forth in subsection 11.2 or at such other address of which the
Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto; and 
  
 (iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction. 
  
 (b) Each party hereto unconditionally waives trial by jury
in any legal action or proceeding referred to in paragraph (a) above and any counterclaim therein. 
  
 11.11. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal
any assets in favor of Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Lender or any such Person
receives payment from the proceeds of the Collateral or exercises its rights of set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, right and remedies therefor, shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred. 
  

 -123- 








 11.12. Interest. Each provision in this Agreement and each other Credit Document is expressly
limited so that in no event whatsoever shall the amount paid, or otherwise agreed to be paid, by Borrower for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be loaned under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise (including any
sums paid as required by any covenant or obligation contained herein or in any other Credit Document which is for the use, forbearance or detention of such money), exceed that amount of money which would cause the effective rate of interest to
exceed the highest lawful rate permitted by applicable law (the “Highest Lawful Rate”), and all amounts owed under this Agreement and each other Credit Document shall be held to be subject to reduction to the effect that such amounts so
paid or agreed to be paid which are for the use, forbearance or detention of money under this Agreement or such other Credit Document shall in no event exceed that amount of money which would cause the effective rate of interest to exceed the
Highest Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary, if the maturity of the Loans or the obligations in respect of the other Credit Documents are accelerated for any reason, or in the
event of any prepayment of all or any portion of the Loans or the obligations in respect of the other Credit Documents by Borrower or in any other event, earned interest on the Loans and such other obligations of Borrower may never exceed the
Highest Lawful Rate, and any unearned interest otherwise payable on the Loans or the obligations in respect of the other Credit Documents that is in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such
acceleration or prepayment or other such event and (if theretofore paid) shall, at the option of the holder of the Loans or such other obligations, be either refunded to Borrower or credited on the principal of the Loans. In determining whether or
not the interest paid or payable, under any specific contingency, exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, Borrower and the Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, amortize, prorate, allocate and spread, in equal parts during the
period of the actual term of this Agreement, all interest at any time contracted for, charged, received or reserved in connection with this Agreement. 
  
 11.13. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
any other jurisdiction. 
  
 11.14. Integration. This
Agreement and the other Credit Documents (and those provisions of the commitment letter dated September 3, 2003 among Holdings and the Agents that expressly by its terms survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement) represent the entire
agreement of the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
relative to the subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Credit Documents. 
  
 11.15. Acknowledgments. Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges that: 
  
 (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents; 
  
 (b) neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Credit Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, and the relationship between the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders, on one hand, and each Credit Party, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and 
  

 -124- 








 (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Credit Documents or otherwise
exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among any Credit Party and the Lenders. 
  
 11.16. New York Mortgage. The Mortgage encumbering Real Property located in the State of New York (the “NY Mortgage”) shall at all
times secure the Secured Amount (as defined in the NY Mortgage), which has been advanced hereunder, and shall not secure any future advances. The NY Mortgage provides that any repayments of the Loans at any time shall, to the extent that the
principal balance of the Loans at such time equals or exceeds the aggregate Secured Amount of the NY Mortgage (the “New York Term Loan Amount”), be allocated to reduce the principal amounts secured by Mortgages covering Real
Property located outside of the State of New York. Therefore, so long as the principal balance of the Loans at any time equals or exceeds the New York Term Loan Amount, the principal amount of the Loans secured by the NY Mortgage shall be deemed to
equal the Secured Amount; and, to the extent that the principal balance of the Loans at any time is less than the New York Term Loan Amount, then the aggregate Secured Amount of the NY Mortgage shall be permanently reduced by the difference between
the New York Term Loan Amount and the principal balance at such time of the Loans. 
  
 SECTION 12. COLLATERAL ACCOUNT; APPLICATION OF COLLATERAL PROCEEDS 
  
 12.1. Collateral Account. (a) The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to establish and maintain at its office at 560 Lexington Avenue, New
York, New York 10022, Attn: Anna Lapiccola, in the name of the Administrative Agent and pursuant to a Control Agreement, a restricted deposit account designated “Atlantic Broadband Finance, LLC — Collateral Account” with respect to
which the Administrative Agent shall at all times have “control” (as defined in Section 9-104 of the UCC). Each Credit Party shall (subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of Net Proceeds and subsection 8.5) deposit into the
Collateral Account from time to time (A) the cash proceeds of any of the Collateral (including pursuant to any disposition thereof) to the extent contemplated herein or in any other Credit Document, (B) the cash proceeds of any Taking or Destruction
with respect to Collateral, (C) any cash in respect of any Collateral to which the Collateral Agent is entitled pursuant to the Credit Documents, and (D) any cash such Credit Party is required to pledge as additional collateral security hereunder
pursuant to the Credit Documents. 
  
 (b) The balance from time to
time in the Collateral Account shall constitute part of the Collateral and shall not constitute payment of the Obligations until applied as hereinafter provided. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will result therefrom,
the Administrative Agent shall within one Business Day of receiving a request of the applicable Credit Party for release of cash proceeds constituting (A) net insurance proceeds or net awards from the Collateral Account remit such cash proceeds on
deposit in the Collateral Account to or upon the order of such Credit Party, so long as such Credit Party has satisfied the conditions relating thereto set forth in subsection 12.2, (B) net cash proceeds from any sale or other disposition of
Collateral from the Collateral Account, remit such cash proceeds on deposit in the Collateral Account, so long as such Credit Party has satisfied the conditions relating thereto set forth in subsection 12.2 and (C) with respect to the L/C
Sub-Account at such time as all Letters of Credit shall have been terminated and all of the liabilities in respect of the Letters 
  

 -125- 








 of Credit have been paid in full. At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
the Administrative Agent may (and, if instructed by the Lenders as specified herein, shall) in its (or their) discretion apply and provide notice to Borrower of such application or cause to be applied (subject to collection) the balance from time to
time outstanding to the credit of the Collateral Account to the payment of the Obligations in the manner specified in subsection 12.3 hereof subject, however, in the case of amounts deposited in the L/C Sub-Account, to the provisions of subsection
12.1(d). The Credit Parties shall have no right to withdraw, transfer or otherwise receive any fund deposited in the Collateral Account except to the extent specifically provided herein. 
  
 (c) Amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account shall be invested from time to time in Cash Equivalents as the applicable
Credit Party (or, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent) shall determine, which Cash Equivalents shall be held in the name and be under the control of the Administrative Agent (or any
sub-agent); provided that at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (and, if instructed by the Lenders as specified herein, shall) in its (or their) discretion at any time
and from time to time elect to liquidate any such Cash Equivalents and to apply or cause to be applied the proceeds thereof to the payment of the Obligations in the manner specified in subsection 12.3 hereof. 
  
 (d) Amounts deposited into the Collateral Account as cover for liabilities in
respect of Letters of Credit under any provision of this Agreement requiring such cover shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a separate sub-account designated as the “L/C Sub-Account” (the “L/C Sub-Account”) and,
notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, all amounts held in the L/C Sub-Account shall constitute collateral security first for the liabilities in respect of Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time and second
as collateral security for the other Obligations hereunder until such time as all Letters of Credit shall have been terminated and all of the liabilities in respect of Letters of Credit have been paid in full. 
  
 12.2. Proceeds of Destruction, Taking and Collateral Dispositions. (a)
So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in the event there shall be any net award in respect of any Taking or net insurance proceeds in respect of any Destruction or net cash proceeds from any sale or disposition of
Collateral of the type contemplated in subsection 8.5(g), the applicable Credit Party shall have the right, at such Credit Party’s option, to apply such net award or net insurance proceeds within twelve months from the date of the applicable
Destruction or Taking (or, in the case of such disposition, to apply such net cash proceeds within twelve months from the date of such disposition) to reinvest in properties or assets owned (or to be owned) by Borrower or its Subsidiaries having a
fair market value at least equal to the amount of such net insurance proceeds or net awards or net cash proceeds, as the case may be, in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement or to repair, replace or restore any property in
respect of which such Net Proceeds were paid, no later than 180 days following the date of receipt of such proceeds; provided that if the property subject to such Destruction or Taking constituted Collateral under the Security Documents, then
all property purchased with the Net Proceeds thereof pursuant to this subsection shall be made subject to the Lien of the applicable Security Documents in favor of the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured
Parties in accordance with subsections 7.9 and 7.12. In the event such Credit Party elects so to reinvest such net insurance proceeds or net awards or net cash proceeds, as the case may be, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
(A) a written notice of such election and (B) an Officers’ Certificate stating that (1) the net insurance proceeds or net awards, as the case may be, shall be utilized so to reinvest in Collateral in the manner contemplated by the proviso set
forth in clause (b) of the definition of Net Proceeds, or the net 
  

 -126- 








 cash proceeds shall be utilized so to reinvest in Collateral in the manner contemplated by the proviso set forth in
subsection 8.5(g), as the case may be, and (2) no Event of Default (or in the case of any net award in respect of any Taking or net insurance proceeds in respect of any Destruction, no Event of Default under paragraphs (a), (e), (f), (g) or (h) of
Section 9) has occurred and is continuing (the items described in clauses (1) and (2) of this sentence, collectively, the “Investment Election Notice”). In the event such net awards, net insurance proceeds or net cash proceeds, as
the case may be, shall be in an amount less than $5,000,000, upon receipt of an Investment Election Notice, the Administrative Agent shall release such net insurance proceeds or net awards or net cash proceeds to such Credit Party in accordance with
the provisions of subsection 12.1(b) hereof. 
  
 (b) In the event
there shall be any net awards or net insurance proceeds or net cash proceeds, as the case may be, in an amount equal to or greater than $5,000,000, the Administrative Agent shall not release any part of such net awards or net insurance proceeds or
net cash proceeds, as the case may be, until the applicable Credit Party has furnished to the Administrative Agent (i) an Officers’ Certificate setting forth: (1) a brief description of the reinvestment to be made, (2) the dollar amount of the
expenditures to be made, or costs incurred by such Credit Party in connection with such reinvestment and (3) each request for payment shall be made on at least one (1) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent and such request
shall state that the properties or assets acquired in connection with such reinvestment have a fair market value at least equal to the amount of such net awards or net insurance proceeds or net cash proceeds, as the case may be, requested to be
released from the Collateral Account and (ii) all security agreements and Mortgages and other items required by the provisions of subsection 7.9 to, among other things, subject such reinvestment properties or assets to the Lien of the Security
Documents in favor of the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties. 
  
 12.3. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization
upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its remedies shall be applied, together with any other sums then held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement, promptly by the
Administrative Agent as follows: 
  
 FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses, fees, commissions and taxes of such sale, collection or other realization including, without limitation, compensation to the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel,
and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, together with interest on each such amount at the highest rate then in effect under this Agreement from and after the date such amount
is due, owing or unpaid until paid in full; 
  
 SECOND, to the payment of all other reasonable costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization including, without limitation, compensation to the other Secured Parties and their agents and counsel and all costs,
liabilities and advances made or incurred by the other Secured Parties in connection therewith, together with interest on each such amount at the highest rate then in effect under this Agreement from and after the date such amount is due, owing or
unpaid until paid in full; 
  
 THIRD,
without duplication of amounts applied pursuant to clauses FIRST and SECOND above, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash, pro rata, of (i) interest, principal and 

  

 -127- 








 
other amounts constituting Obligations (other than the obligations arising under the Interest Rate Agreements) in each case equally and ratably in accordance
with the respective amounts thereof then due and owing and (ii) the obligations arising under the Interest Rate Agreements in accordance with the terms of the Interest Rate Agreements; and 
  
 FOURTH, the balance, if any, to the Person lawfully
entitled thereto (including the applicable Credit Party or its successors or assigns). 
  
 In the event that any such proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the items described in clauses FIRST through THIRD of this subsection 12.3, the Credit Parties shall remain liable for any deficiency.

  
 [This space intentionally left blank]
