applicable Credit Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on such Credit Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to
Administrative Agent on such Credit Date and Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, 

  

 29 








 
but shall not be obligated to, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount on such Credit Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made
available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is
paid to Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon
Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date
until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans for such Class of Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.5(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its
Tranche B Term Loan Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 
 2.6. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans shall be applied by Borrower to repay (or, in the case of the Existing L/Cs, cash collateralize) all amounts outstanding under the Existing Credit Facility
and for working capital and general corporate purposes of Borrower and its Subsidiaries. No portion of the proceeds of any Credit Extension shall be used in any manner that causes or might cause such Credit Extension or the application of such
proceeds to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors or any other regulation thereof or to violate the Exchange Act. 
 2.7. Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Notes. 
 (a) Lenders’
Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of Borrower to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it, accrued interest and fees thereon and each
repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower, absent manifest error; provided, that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect
any Lender’s Commitment or Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided further, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall
govern. 
 (b) Register. Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall maintain at the Principal Office a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Commitments and Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with
respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall record, or shall cause to be recorded, in the Register the Commitments and the Loans in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error;
provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any Loan. Borrower hereby designates GSCP to serve as
Borrower’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as 

  

 30 








 
provided in this Section 2.7, and Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent GSCP serves in such capacity, GSCP and its officers, directors, employees,
agents, sub-agents and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees.” 
 (c) Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written
notice to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to
any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.6) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such
Lender’s Tranche B Term Loan. 
 2.8. Interest on Loans. 
 (a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Class of Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through
repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows: 
 (i) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus the
Applicable Margin; or 
 (ii) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

 (b) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan, and the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Rate
Loan, shall be selected by Borrower and notified to Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be; provided, until the date that Syndication Agent notifies
Borrower that the primary syndication of the Loans has been completed, as determined by Syndication Agent, the Term Loans shall be maintained as Base Rate Loans. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Funding Notice or
Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan.

 (c) In connection with Eurodollar Rate Loans there shall be no more than five (5) Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the
event Borrower fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loan (if outstanding as a Eurodollar Rate Loan) will be automatically converted into a Base
Rate Loan on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Loan (or if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Loan). In the event Borrower fails to specify an Interest
Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each
Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an
interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and each Lender. 
  

 31 








 (d) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.8(a) shall be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate
Loans on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In
computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or the last Interest Payment Date with respect to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from
a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or,
with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on
which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan. 
 (e) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan
shall be payable in arrears on (i) each Interest Payment Date applicable to that Loan; (ii) upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) at maturity of
the Loans, including final maturity of the Loans; provided, however, with respect to any voluntary prepayment of a Base Rate Loan, accrued interest shall instead be payable on the next Interest Payment Date. 
 2.9. Conversion/Continuation. 
 (a)
Subject to Section 2.18 and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, Borrower shall have the option: 
 (i) to convert on the last day of an Interest Period all of any Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount from Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans, or vice versa;
provided, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be converted on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan unless Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 2.18 in connection with any such conversion;
or 
 (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion
of such Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar Rate Loan. 
 (b) Borrower
shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed Conversion/Continuation Date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan)
and at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed Conversion/Continuation Date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan). Except as otherwise provided herein, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for
conversion to, or continuation of, any Eurodollar Rate Loans (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in
accordance therewith. 
  

 32 








 2.10. Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
principal amount of all Loans outstanding and to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest, fees or other amounts which are not paid when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, owed hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws (whether or not a claim is allowed for such interest in the related bankruptcy proceeding) payable on demand at a rate that is 2% per annum
in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for
Base Rate Loans); provided, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate
Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for
in this Section 2.10 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender. 
 2.11. Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to Agents such fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon. 
 2.12. Scheduled Payments/Commitment Reductions. The principal amounts of the Loans shall be repaid in consecutive quarterly installments (each, an
“Installment”) on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter (each, an “Installment Date”), commencing June 30, 2007. Each Installment shall be equal to 0.25% (1% per annum) of the outstanding principal
balance of the Loans on the Closing Date. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) such Installments shall be reduced in connection with any voluntary or
mandatory prepayments of the Tranche B Term Loans in accordance with Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15, as applicable; and (y) the Tranche B Term Loans, together with all other amounts owed hereunder with respect thereto, shall, in
any event, be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date. 
 2.13. Voluntary Prepayments. 
 (a) Voluntary Prepayments. 
 (i) Any time and from time to time: 
 (1) with respect to Base Rate Loans, Borrower may prepay any such Loans on
any Business Day in whole or in part, in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; and 
  

 33 








 (2) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, Borrower may prepay any such Loans on any
Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount. 
 (ii) All such prepayments shall be made: 
 (1) upon not less than one Business Day’s
prior written or telephonic notice in the case of Base Rate Loans; and 
 (2) upon not less than three Business Days’
prior written or telephonic notice in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans. 
 in each case given to Administrative Agent by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on
the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing to Administrative Agent (and Administrative Agent will notify each Lender). Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice
shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section 2.15(a). 
 (b) [Intentionally Omitted]. 
 (c) Tranche B Term Loan Call Protection. In the event
all or any portion of the Tranche B Term Loans are repaid for any reason (other than as required under Section 2.14(e)) prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, such repayments will be made at (i) 103.0% of the amount repaid if
such repayment occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) 102.0% of the amount repaid if such repayment occurs after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing
Date and (ii) at 101.0% of the amount repaid if such repayment occurs after the second anniversary of the Closing Date but on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date. 
 2.14. Mandatory Prepayments/Commitment Reductions. 
 (a) Asset Sales. No later than the fifth Business Day following the date of receipt by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Net Asset Sale Proceeds, Borrower shall prepay the Loans as set forth in
Section 2.15(b) in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Asset Sale Proceeds; provided, (i) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) to the extent that aggregate Net Asset Sale
Proceeds do not exceed $2,000,000 in any Fiscal Year, Borrower shall have the option, directly or through one or more of its Subsidiaries, to invest Net Asset Sale Proceeds within one year of receipt thereof in long-term productive assets of the
general type used in the business of Borrower and its Subsidiaries. 
 (b) Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds. No later than the fifth
Business Day following the date of receipt by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or Administrative Agent as 

  

 34 








 
loss payee, of any Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds, Borrower shall prepay the Loans as set forth in Section 2.15(b) in an aggregate amount equal to
such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds; provided, (i) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) to the extent that aggregate Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds do not exceed
$1,000,000 in any Fiscal Year, Borrower shall have the option, directly or through one or more of its Subsidiaries to invest such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds within one year of receipt thereof in long term productive assets of the general
type used in the business of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, which investment may include the repair, restoration or replacement of the applicable assets thereof. 
 (c) Change of Control. On the fifth Business Day immediately following the date on which a Change of Control shall occur, the Borrower shall prepay the entire principal amount of Loans then outstanding in an
amount equal to the greater of (i) the amount required to be repaid pursuant to Section 2.13(c) and (ii) 101% of the entire principal amount of the Loans then outstanding. 
 (d) Issuance of Debt. On the fifth Business Day following receipt by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Cash proceeds from the incurrence
of any Indebtedness of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than with respect to any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.1), Borrower shall prepay the Loans as set forth in Section 2.15(b) in an aggregate
amount equal to 100% of such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs and expenses associated therewith, including reasonable legal fees and expenses (including, if not yet paid, reasonably estimated fees
and expenses; provided that any such fees or expenses estimated to be incurred that reduce the proceeds required to be applied hereby and that are not actually subsequently incurred shall, at the time the Borrower or any Subsidiary determines
that such fees and/or expenses are not reasonably expected to be incurred, constitute cash proceeds of the incurrence of Indebtedness subject to this Section 2.14(d). 
 (e) Consolidated Excess Cash Flow. In the event that there shall be Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for any Fiscal Year (commencing with the Fiscal
Year ending December 31, 2007 and calculated with respect to the Credit Parties only), Borrower shall, no later than ninety days after the end of such Fiscal Year, prepay the Loans as set forth in Section 2.15(b) in an aggregate amount
equal to (i) 50% of such Consolidated Excess Cash Flow minus (ii) voluntary repayments of the Loans. 
 (f)
[Intentionally Omitted]. 
 (g) Prepayment Certificate. Not less than one Business Day prior to the date of any
prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Sections 2.14(a) through 2.14(e), Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the applicable net proceeds or Consolidated
Excess Cash Flow, as the case may be. In the event that Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount received exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, Borrower shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans in an
amount equal to such excess, and Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer demonstrating the derivation of such excess. 
  

 35 








 2.15. Application of Prepayments. 
 (a) Application of Voluntary Prepayments by Type of Loans. Any prepayment of any Loan pursuant to Section 2.13 shall be applied as specified
by Borrower in the applicable notice of prepayment; provided, in the event Borrower fails to specify the Loans to which any such prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.15(b):

 (b) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Any amount required to be paid pursuant to Sections 2.14(a) through 2.14(e) shall be
applied a pro rata basis to the remaining scheduled Installments of principal of the Tranche B Term Loans. 
 (c) Waivable Mandatory
Prepayment. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, so long as any Tranche B Term Loans are outstanding, in the event Borrower is required to make any mandatory prepayment (a “Waivable Mandatory
Prepayment”) of the Tranche B/Term Loans, not less than three Business Days prior to the date (the “Required Prepayment Date”) on which Borrower is required to make such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, Borrower shall notify
Administrative Agent of the amount of such prepayment, and Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter notify each Lender holding an outstanding Tranche B Term Loan of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Waivable Mandatory
Prepayment and such Lender’s option to refuse such amount. Each such Lender may exercise such option by giving written notice to Borrower and Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the first Business Day prior to the
Required Prepayment Date (it being understood that any Lender that does not notify Borrower and Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date shall be deemed to
have elected, as of such date, not to exercise such option). On the Required Prepayment Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment payable to those Lenders that have elected
not to exercise such option, to prepay the Loans of such Lenders in accordance with Section 2.15(b). Such portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment not payable due to the election by any Lender to waive rights to the Waivable Mandatory
Prepayment shall be offered to any Lender, who shall have the right to receive such Lender’s pro rata share (as between those non-waiving Lenders) of any additional amounts of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment waived by other Lenders;
provided, however, that no Lender shall receive or be paid any amount in excess of such Lender’s Loan Exposure. 
 (d)
Application of Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any prepayment of Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a
manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18(c). 
 2.16. General
Provisions Regarding Payments. 
 (a) All payments by Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars
in same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due at the Principal Office designated by
Administrative Agent for 

  

 36 








 
the account of Lenders; for purposes of computing interest and fees, funds received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed
to have been paid by Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day. 
 (b) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Eurodollar
Rate Loan shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid. All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Base Rate Loan shall be payable on the next Interest Payment Date, and all such
payments (and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Loan on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Loan) shall be applied to the payment of interest then due and payable before application to principal. 
 (c) Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable
Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by Administrative Agent (other than such
fees, costs and expense payable to any Agent, and such payments shall be first applied to such fees, cost and expenses payable to such Agent). 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any Conversion/ Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Eurodollar Rate Loans,
Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter. 
 (e) [Intentionally Omitted]

 (f) Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to charge Borrower’s accounts (if any) with Administrative Agent in order to
cause timely payment to be made to Administrative Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses due hereunder (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose). 
 (g) All payments received by Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day and any applicable interest shall
apply, and such payment shall be considered a non-conforming payment. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 8.1(a). Interest shall continue to accrue on any
principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined pursuant to
Section 2.10 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full. 
 (h) If an Event of Default
shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived, and the maturity of the Obligations shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1, all payments or proceeds received by Agents hereunder in respect of any of the Obligations, shall be
applied in accordance with the application arrangements described in Section 7.2 of the Pledge and Security Agreement. 
 2.17.
Ratable Sharing. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment, through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, 

  

 37 








 
by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as
cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents
(collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such
proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from
each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in
proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or
otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing
arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully
as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder. 
 2.18. Making or Maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans.

 (a) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Administrative Agent shall have determined (which
determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and
fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone
confirmed in writing) to Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances
giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by Borrower with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower.

 (b) Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which
determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with Borrower and Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (i) has
become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the
force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (ii) has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or
the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such 

  

 38 








 
event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in
writing) to Borrower and Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter (1) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to,
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (2) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a
Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or continue such Loan as or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (3) the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its
outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the next Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and
(4) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan
then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.18(c), to rescind such Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice as
to all Lenders by giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (and Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each other Lender of such notice of rescission). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.18(b) shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to
make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 (c) Compensation for
Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and
liabilities (including any interest paid by such Lender to Lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of
such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Funding
Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation;
(ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its
Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Borrower; or (iv) any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is made on less than three Business Days’ notice pursuant to
Section 2.13(a)(iii)(2). 
 (d) Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans
at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender. 
  

 39 








 (e) Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to
a Lender under this Section 2.18 and under Section 2.19 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Eurodollar Rate Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained
pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar
deposit from an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing
assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.18 and under Section 2.19. 
 2.19. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy. 
 (a) Compensation For Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions
of Section 2.20 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties
hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or
order), or any determination of a court or governmental authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central
bank or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than any Tax on the overall net income of such Lender)
with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable
hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or
deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to
Eurodollar Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate); or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its
obligations hereunder or the London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such
Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an
increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or
receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this
Section 2.19(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. 
  

 40 








 (b) Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender shall have determined that the
adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability after the Closing Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a
consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness,
phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by Borrower from
such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender
shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.19(b), which statement shall be
conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. 
 2.20. Taxes; Withholding, etc. 
 (a) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by any Credit Party hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall (except to the extent
required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax (other than a Tax on the overall net income of any Lender) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any jurisdiction from or to
which a payment is made by or on behalf of any Credit Party. 
 (b) Withholding of Taxes. If any Credit Party or any other Person is
required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax from any sum paid or payable by any Credit Party to Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Credit Documents: (i) such Credit Party shall notify
Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as such Credit Party becomes aware of it; (ii) such Credit Party shall pay any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment
to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Credit Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of Administrative Agent or such Lender;
(iii) the sum payable by such Credit Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment,
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and (iv) within thirty days after paying any
sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (ii) above to pay, such Credit Party 

  

 41 








 
shall deliver to Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance
thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority; provided, no such additional amount shall be required to be paid to any Lender under clause (iii) above except to the extent that any change after the date hereof (in the case of each Lender
listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or after the effective date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which such Lender became a Lender (in the case of each other Lender) in any such requirement for a deduction, withholding
or payment as is mentioned therein shall result in an increase in the rate of such deduction, withholding or payment from that in effect at the date hereof or at the date of such Assignment Agreement, as the case may be, in respect of payments to
such Lender. 
 (c) Evidence of Exemption From Withholding Tax. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction
of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty, if any, to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law, if any, as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate;
provided, if such Foreign Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of this Section 2.20(c), nothing shall relieve Borrower of its obligation to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20 in the event that, as a result
of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Foreign Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or
other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as described herein. 
 (d) If the
Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes with respect to which a Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20, it shall pay over such refund to
such Credit Party (but only to the extent of additional amounts paid, by such Credit Party under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such
Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that each Credit Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, shall repay the
amount paid over to such Credit Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay
such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.20 shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems
confidential) to a Credit Party or any other Person. 
 2.21. Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as
practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such
Lender to receive payments under Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue,
fund or maintain its Credit Extensions, including any Affected Loans, through another office of such 

  

 42 








 
Lender, or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be
an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole
discretion, the making, funding or maintaining of such Loans through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Loans or the interests of such Lender; provided,
such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.21 unless Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described above. A
certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.21 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative
Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 2.22. Defaulting Lenders. Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender, other than at the direction or request of any regulatory agency or authority, defaults (a “Defaulting Lender”) in its obligation to fund (a “Funding Default”) any Loan
(in each case, a “Defaulted Loan”), then (a) during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of voting on any matters
(including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Credit Documents; (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, until such time as the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced
to zero, any mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall, if Borrower so directs at the time of making such mandatory prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Loans of such Defaulting Lender) as if such Defaulting Lender
had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender, outstanding Loans; and (c) the Loan Exposure as at any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender. No
Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.22, performance by Borrower of its obligations hereunder and the other Credit Documents shall not be excused or
otherwise modified as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of this Section 2.22. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.22 are in addition to other rights and remedies which Borrower may have
against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and which Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default. 
 2.23. Removal or Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any
Lender (an “Increased-Cost Lender”) shall give notice to Borrower that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20, (ii) the circumstances which have
caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after Borrower’s request for such
withdrawal; or (b) (i) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, (ii) the Default Period for such Defaulting Lender shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default as a result of which
it has become a Defaulting Lender within five Business Days after Borrower’s request that it cure such default; or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or 

  

 43 








 
consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 10.5(b), the consent of Requisite Lenders shall have been obtained but
the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased-Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting
Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), Borrower may, by giving written notice to Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby
irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Commitments, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 and Borrower shall pay
the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from an Increased Cost Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender and the Defaulting Lender shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from
such Defaulting Lender; provided, (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all
outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender, (B) an amount equal to all unreimbursed drawings that have been funded by such Terminated Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal
to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.11; (2) on the date of such assignment, Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(c),
2.19 or 2.20; or otherwise as if it were a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14, including, in the case of any Increased-Cost Lender or any Non-Consenting Lender, prepayment premiums pursuant to Section 2.13(c); and (3) in the
event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender. Upon the prepayment of all amounts
owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Commitments, if any, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Terminated
Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender.

Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.2. Equity Interests and Ownership. The Equity Interests of each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries has
been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid and non-assessable. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.2, as of the date hereof, there is no existing option, warrant, call, right, commitment or other agreement to which any of

Person under any Contractual Obligation of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except for such approvals or consents which will be obtained on or before the Closing Date and disclosed in writing to Lenders and except for any such approvals or
consents the failure of which to obtain will not have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.5. Governmental Consents. The execution,
delivery and performance by Credit Parties of the Credit Documents to which they are parties and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents do not and will not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or

following the Closing Date. Schedule 4.5 hereto sets forth Governmental Authorities the approval of which will not be obtained as of the Closing Date; provided, that, Lenders may be required, prior to exercising certain rights or

 4.8. Projections. On and as of the Closing Date, the projections of Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the period of Fiscal Year 2007 through and
including Fiscal Year 2011 (the “Projections”) are based on good faith estimates and assumptions made by the management of Borrower; provided, the Projections are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the
period or periods covered by the Projections may differ from such Projections and that the differences may be material; provided further, as of the Closing Date, management of Borrower believed that the Projections were reasonable and

force and effect and Borrower does not have knowledge of any default that has occurred and is continuing thereunder, and each such agreement constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of each applicable Credit Party, enforceable against
such Credit Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles, except

 4.15. No Defaults. No Credit Party is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any of its Contractual Obligations, and no
condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, could constitute such a default, except where the consequences, direct or indirect, of such default or defaults, if any, could not reasonably be expected to have a

state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters, except where the consequences, direct or indirect, of such violation or violations, if any, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from any Credit
Party, or for which any claim may be made against any Credit Party, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or such Subsidiary, except
where the consequences, direct or indirect, of such failure or failures to pay or accrue, if any, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents will not

compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all
other such ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to result in material liability of the Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates. The present value of all benefit liabilities under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed by more than $1,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all benefit
liabilities of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the last annual valuation dates applicable thereto, exceed by more than $1,000,000 the fair

With respect to each Foreign Pension Plan, reserves have been established in the financial statements furnished to Lenders in respect of any unfunded liabilities in accordance with applicable law and prudent business practice or, where required, in
accordance with ordinary accounting practices in the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Pension Plan is maintained. The aggregate unfunded liabilities with respect to such Foreign Pension Plans could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect; the present value of the aggregate accumulated benefit liabilities of all such Foreign Pension Plans (based on those assumptions used to fund each such Foreign Pension Plan) did not, as of the last annual valuation date
applicable thereto, exceed by more than $1,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such Foreign Pension Plans.

approvals, licenses, filings and registrations from or to the FCC or any PUC or any other Communications Regulatory Authority or under Communications Law necessary for the lawful conduct of its business as presently conducted, including the
provision of the telecommunication services set forth in any Permits (the “Permits”) unless the failure to have any of the same would not individually or in the aggregate result in a Material Adverse Effect. All of such Permits are
valid and subsisting and in full force and effect. There are no investigations, actions, claims or proceedings pending or to the best of each Credit Party’s knowledge, as the result of the practices of any Credit Party or any of its Affiliates
pursuant to any violations of or failure to comply with any Communications Laws or otherwise, or threatened in writing that seek the revocation, cancellation, non-renewal, suspension or modification of any of the Permits except where such
investigations, actions, claims or proceedings could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Lender will not, by reason of the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, be subject to the regulation or control of
either the FCC or any PUC; provided, that, Lender may be required, prior to exercising certain rights or remedies hereunder, to obtain prior written consent from Communications Regulatory Authorities with respect to: (i) the sale, pledge

subject to a Collateral Document granted in as security for the Obligations. 
 4.25. Disclosure. No representation or warranty of any
Credit Party contained in any Credit Document or in any other documents, certificates or written statements furnished to any Agent or Lender by or on behalf of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for use in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact (known to Borrower or Borrower, in the case of any document not furnished by either of them) necessary in order to make the statements contained
herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made. Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by Borrower or
Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from
the projected results. There are no facts known (or which should upon the reasonable exercise of diligence be known) to Borrower or Borrower (other than matters of a general economic nature) that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and that have not been disclosed herein or in such other documents, certificates and statements furnished to Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

distributed through IntraLinks/IntraAgency, SyndTrak or another relevant website or other information platform (the “Platform”), any document or notice that Borrower has indicated contains Nonpublic Information shall not be posted
on that portion of the Platform designated for such public-side Lenders. If Borrower has not indicated whether a document or notice delivered pursuant to this Section 5.1 contains Nonpublic Information, Administrative Agent reserves the right
to post such document or notice solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Lenders who wish to receive material nonpublic information with respect to Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their securities. 
 5.2. Existence. Except as otherwise permitted under Section 6.8, each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Guarantor Subsidiaries
to, at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and all rights and franchises, licenses and permits material to the business of the Borrower; provided, no Credit Party (other than Borrower with respect to existence)
or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to preserve any such existence, right or franchise, licenses and permits if such Person’s board of directors (or similar governing body) shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer
desirable in the conduct of the business of such Person, and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to such Person or to Lenders. 
 5.3. Payment of Taxes and Claims. Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay all Taxes imposed upon it or any of its properties or assets or in respect of any of its income,
businesses or franchises before any penalty or fine accrues thereon, and all claims (including claims for labor, services, materials and supplies) for sums that have become due and payable and that by law have or may become a Lien upon any of its
properties or assets, prior to the time when any penalty or fine shall be incurred with respect thereto; provided, no such Tax or claim need be paid if it is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and
diligently conducted, so long as (a) adequate reserve or other appropriate provision, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made therefor, and (b) in the case of a Tax or claim which has or may become a Lien against
any of the Collateral, such

Notes and the Mandatory Convertible Notes Indenture, no Credit Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its Guarantor Subsidiaries to, amend or otherwise change the terms of any Other Indebtedness, or make any payment consistent with an amendment
thereof or change thereto, if the effect of such amendment or change is to increase the interest rate on such Other Indebtedness, change (to earlier dates) any dates upon which payments of principal or interest are due thereon, change any event of
default or condition to an event of default with respect thereto (other than to eliminate any such event of default or increase any grace period related thereto), change the redemption, prepayment or defeasance provisions thereof, change the
subordination provisions of such Other Indebtedness (or of any guaranty thereof), or if the effect of such amendment or change, together with all other amendments or changes made, is to increase materially the obligations of the obligor thereunder
or to confer any additional material rights on the holders of such Other Indebtedness (or a trustee or other representative on their behalf) which would be adverse to any Credit Party or Lenders. In addition, no Credit Party shall, nor shall it
permit any of its Guarantor Subsidiaries to, amend or otherwise change the terms of the Mandatory Convertible Notes or the Mandatory Convertible Notes Indenture, or make any payment consistent with an amendment thereof or change thereto to the
extent prohibited by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

 SECTION 7. GUARANTY 
 7.1. Guaranty of the Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.2, Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally guaranty to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Beneficiaries the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration,
acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)) (collectively, the “Guaranteed
Obligations”). Schedule 7.1 sets forth certain United States Subsidiaries of the Borrower that have obtained regulatory approval to guarantee a portion, but not all, of the Obligations, and, notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.1
or any other provision hereof or of any other Credit Document to the contrary, no such individual United States Subsidiary shall have any liability hereunder in excess of $200,000,000. 
  

 75 








 7.2. Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively,
the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding
Guarantor”) under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to
cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio
of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid
or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of
determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under
Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the “Fair Share Contribution Amount” with respect to any Contributing
Guarantor for purposes of this Section 7.2, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder
shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount
of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this Section 7.2), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such
date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 7.2. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution
is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 7.2 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder.
Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 7.2. 
 7.3. Payment by
Guarantors. Subject to Section 7.2, Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue
hereof, that upon the failure of Borrower to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that
would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to Administrative Agent for the ratable
benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for Borrower’s
becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations
then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid. 
  

 76 








 7.4. Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are
irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of
the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows: 
 (a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment
when due and not of collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety; 
 (b)
Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between Borrower and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default; 
 (c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any
other Guarantor) of the obligations of Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not Borrower
is joined in any such action or actions; 
 (d) payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no
way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit
brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject
of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; 
 (e) any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or
giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time,
place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement
relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed
Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the
Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in
respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the 

  

 77 








 
order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such
Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith or the applicable Hedge Agreement and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not
every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against Borrower or any security for the
Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Credit Documents or any Hedge Agreements; and 
 (f) this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the
Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert
or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit Documents or any Hedge Agreements, at
law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver,
amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents, any of the Hedge Agreements or any agreement or instrument
executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document, such Hedge Agreement or any agreement relating to such other
guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other
than payments received pursuant to the other Credit Documents or any of the Hedge Agreements or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other
than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any
Beneficiary’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to
perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which Borrower may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the
Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act
or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 7.5. Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against
Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other 

  

 78 








 
Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower, any such other guarantor
or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any
Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the
unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of Borrower or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any
Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict
with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof,
(iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto;
(f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, the Hedge Agreements or any agreement or instrument related
thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.4 and any right
to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof. 
 7.6. Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the
Commitments shall have terminated, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this
Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation,
reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now
has or may hereafter have against Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly
paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including
any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.2. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as
set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, 

  

 79 








 
reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such
Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against Borrower, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any
right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not
have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and
applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 7.7. Subordination of
Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such
Indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent
for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof. 
 7.8. Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have
been paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations. 
 7.9. Authority of Guarantors or Borrower. It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or
Borrower or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them. 
 7.10. Financial Condition of
Borrower. Any Credit Extension may be made to Borrower or continued from time to time, and any Hedge Agreements may be entered into from time to time, in each case without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial
or other condition of Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation or at the time such Hedge Agreement is entered into, as the case may be. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment,
or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of Borrower. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of Borrower and its ability to perform its
obligations under the Credit Documents and the Hedge Agreements, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the
Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of Borrower now known or hereafter known by any
Beneficiary. 
 7.11. Bankruptcy, etc. (a) So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without
the prior written consent of Administrative Agent acting pursuant to 

  

 80 








 
the instructions of Requisite Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding
of or against Borrower or any other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which Borrower or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or
administrative body resulting from any such proceeding. 
 (b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the
Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the
commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention
of Guarantors and Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed
Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of Administrative Agent in respect of, any such
interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced. 
 (c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed
Obligations are paid by Borrower, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered
directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder. 
 7.12. Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor. If all of the Equity Interests of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder
shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be
discharged and released without any further action by any Beneficiary or any other Person effective as of the time of such Asset Sale. 
 SECTION 8.

 8.1. Events of Default. If any one or more of the following conditions or events shall occur: 
 (a) Failure to Make Payments When Due. Failure by Borrower to pay (i) when due any installment of principal of any Loan, whether at stated

period, if any, provided therefor, or (iii) other event or state of facts if the effect of such breach, default or event is to cause, or to permit the holder or holders of that Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of such holder or holders), to
cause, that Indebtedness to become or be declared due and payable (or redeemable) or require the issuer thereof to make an offer to purchase such Indebtedness prior to its stated maturity or the stated maturity of any underlying obligation, as the
case may be; or 
 (c) Breach of Certain Covenants. Failure of any Credit Party to perform or comply with any term or condition
contained in Section 2.6, Section 5.2 or Section 6; or

connection herewith or therewith shall be false in any material respect as of the date made or deemed made; or 
 (e) Other Defaults Under
Credit Documents. Any Credit Party shall default in the performance of or compliance with any term contained herein or any of the other Credit Documents, other than any such term referred to in any other Section of this Section 8.1, and
such default shall not have been remedied or waived within thirty days after the earlier of (i) an Authorized Officer of such Credit Party becoming aware of such default or (ii) receipt by Borrower of notice from Administrative Agent or
any Lender of such default; or 
 (f) Involuntary Bankruptcy; Appointment of Receiver, etc. (i) A court of competent jurisdiction
shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in an involuntary case under the Bankruptcy Code or under any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law now or hereafter in effect, which decree

Subsidiaries in connection with Credit Extensions hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own 

  

 86

basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or
times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders.

shall not have been reimbursed by any Credit Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind
or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Credit Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Agent
in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents; provided, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call
for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability,
obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; and provided further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any
Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence. 
 9.7. Successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty days’ prior written
notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower, and Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to Borrower and Administrative Agent and signed by Requisite Lenders.

 87 








 
Requisite Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to Borrower, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of

amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Administrative Agent of the security interests created under the Collateral Documents, whereupon

financial institution to act as Administrative Agent hereunder and in any case, Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective on the thirtieth day after such notice of resignation. Except as provided in the immediately preceding
sentence, any resignation or removal of GSCP or its successor as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute the resignation or removal of GSCP or its successor as Collateral Agent. After any retiring or removed
Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent hereunder.
Any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Collateral Agent for all purposes hereunder. If or its successor as Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Section has resigned as Administrative Agent but retained its role as Collateral Agent and no successor Collateral Agent has become the Collateral Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, GSCP Name of Administrative Agent or its
successor may resign as Collateral Agent upon notice to the Borrower and the Requisite Lenders at any time.

disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such sale or other disposition of assets or to which Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give
such consent under Section 10.5) have otherwise consented or (ii) release any Guarantor from the Guaranty pursuant to Section 7.12 or with respect to which Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such
consent under Section 10.5) have otherwise consented.

any Collateral or of the obligations of any Guarantor under the Credit Documents except as expressly provided in Section 10.5(c)(v) of this Agreement and Section 7.2 of the Pledge and Security Agreement.

 93 








 (c) Other Consents. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the
Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall: 
 (i) increase any Commitment of any
Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender; provided, no amendment, modification or waiver of any condition precedent, covenant, Default or Event of Default shall constitute an increase in any Commitment
of any Lender; 
 (ii) [Intentionally Omitted] 
 (iii) [Intentionally Omitted] 
 (iv) [Intentionally Omitted] 
 (v) amend, modify or waive this Agreement or the

or 
 (vi) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Section 9 as the same applies to any Agent, or any other
provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case without the consent of such Agent. 
 (d)
Execution of Amendments, etc. Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the 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 any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 10.5 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by a Credit Party, on such
Credit Party. 
 (e) Special Provision Regarding STT. If at any time STT shall directly or indirectly hold a portion of, but less than
all of, Tranche B Term Loans and/or Commitments, no approval of STT shall be required in connection with any amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, and the Tranche B Term Loans and/or Commitments held
directly or indirectly by STT shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the Requisite Lenders with respect to any such action. 
 10.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations. 
 (a) Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Lenders. No Credit Party’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any 

  

 94 








 
interest therein may be assigned or delegated by any Credit Party without the prior written consent of all Lenders. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or
implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of each of the Agents and Lenders) any legal
or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) Register. Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders
shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or Loan shall be
effective, in each case, unless and until recorded in the Register following receipt of (x) a written or electronic confirmation of an assignment issued by a Settlement Service pursuant to Section 10.6(d) (a “Settlement
Confirmation”) or (y) an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof, together with the required forms and certificates regarding tax matters and any fees payable in connection with such assignment, in each case,
as provided in Section 10.6(d). Each assignment shall be recorded in the Register on the Business Day the Settlement Confirmation or Assignment Agreement is received by Administrative Agent, if received by 12:00 noon New York City time, and on
the following Business Day if received after such time, prompt notice thereof shall be provided to Borrower and a copy of such Assignment Agreement or Settlement Confirmation shall be maintained, as applicable. The date of such recordation of a
transfer shall be referred to herein as the “Assignment Effective Date.” Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a
Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Loans. 
 (c)
Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including all or a portion of its Commitment or Loans owing to it or other
Obligations (provided, however, that pro rata assignments shall not be required and each assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any applicable Loan and any
related Commitments): 
 (i) to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (i) of the definition of the term of
“Eligible Assignee” upon the giving of notice to Borrower and Administrative Agent; and 
 (ii) to any Person
meeting the criteria of clause (ii) of the definition of the term of “Eligible Assignee” upon giving of notice to Borrower and Administrative Agent and any such Person (except in the case of assignments made by or to GSCP or CS),
consented to by Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further each such assignment pursuant to this Section 10.6(c)(ii) shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 (or
such lesser amount as may be agreed to by Administrative Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Tranche B Term Loan of the assigning Lender) with respect to the assignment of Term Loans. 
  

 95 








 (d) Mechanics. Assignments of Term Loans by Lenders may be made with a manually executed
Assignment Agreement or via an electronic settlement system acceptable to Administrative Agent as designated in writing from time to time to the Lenders by Administrative Agent (the “Settlement Service”). Each such electronic
assignment shall be effected by the assigning Lender and proposed assignee pursuant to the procedures then in effect under the Settlement Service, which procedures shall be consistent with the other provisions of this Section 10.6. Each
assignor Lender and proposed assignee shall comply with the requirements of the Settlement Service in connection with effecting any transfer of Loans pursuant to the Settlement Service. Administrative Agent’s and Borrower’s consent shall
be deemed to have been granted pursuant to Section 10.6(c)(ii) with respect to any transfer effected through the Settlement Service. Subject to the other requirements of this Section 10.6, assignments and assumptions of Term Loans may also
be effected by manual execution and delivery to Administrative Agent of an Assignment Agreement. Initially, assignments and assumptions of Term Loans shall be effected by such manual execution until Administrative Agent notifies Lenders to the
contrary. Assignments made pursuant to the foregoing provision shall be effective as of the Assignment Effective Date. In connection with all assignments there shall be delivered to Administrative Agent such forms, certificates or other evidence, if
any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver pursuant to Section 2.20(c), together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a
registration and processing fee of $3,500 (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable (y) in connection with an assignment by or to GSCP or any Affiliate thereof or (z) in the case of an Assignee which is already
a Lender or is an affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender or a Person under common management with a Lender). Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Assignment Agreement to the contrary, if Administrative Agent has enabled the Loans to be assigned
on the Settlement Service, and (i) unless notice to the contrary is delivered to the Lenders from Administrative Agent or (ii) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, payment to the assignor by the
assignee in respect of the settlement of an assignment of any Term Loan shall include such compensation to the assignor as may be agreed upon by the assignor and the assignee with respect to all unpaid interest which has accrued on such Term Loan to
but excluding the Assignment Effective Date. On and after the applicable Assignment Effective Date, the applicable assignee shall be entitled to receive all interest paid or payable with respect to the assigned Term Loan, whether such interest
accrued before or after the applicable Assignment Effective Date. 
 (e) Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon
execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the Commitments and Loans, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the Assignment Effective Date that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee;
(ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Commitments or Loans, as the case may be; and (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitments or Loans
for its own account in the ordinary course and without a view to distribution of such Commitments or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the
provisions of this Section 10.6, the disposition of such Commitments or Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control). 
  

 96 








 (f) Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.6, as of the
“Assignment Effective Date” (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent of its interest in the Loans and Commitments as reflected in the Register and shall
thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to the assignee, relinquish its rights (other than
any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 10.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto on the Assignment Effective Date; provided, anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the
benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder); (iii) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect any Commitment of such
assignee and any Commitment of such assigning Lender, if any; and (iv) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as
practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon Borrower shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning
Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender. 
 (g) Participations. 
 (i) Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to
any Person (other than Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates) in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans or in any other Obligation. 
 (ii) The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with
respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (A) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon
(except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it
being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted
without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (B) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or
(C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating. 
 (iii) Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18(c), 2.19 and 2.20 to the same extent as if
it were a Lender and 

  

 97 








 
had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided, (x) a participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 2.19 or 2.20 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made
with Borrower’s prior written consent and (y) a participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such
participant and such participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 2.20 as though it were a Lender; provided further that, except as specifically set forth in clauses (x) and (y) of this sentence,
nothing herein shall require any notice to the Borrower or any other Person in connection with the sale of any participation. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.4 as though it
were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17 as though it were a Lender. 
 (h) Certain Other
Assignments and Participations. In addition to any other assignment or participation permitted pursuant to this Section 10.6 any Lender may assign and/or pledge all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such
Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank;
provided, that no Lender, as between Borrower and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided further, that in no event shall the applicable Federal
Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee, be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder. 
 10.7. Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be
permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. 
 10.8. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the
execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Credit Party set forth in Sections 2.18(c), 2.19, 2.20, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 and the
agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.17, 9.3(b) and 9.6 shall survive the payment of the Loans. 
 10.9. No Waiver; Remedies
Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of
any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each
Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents or any of 

  

 98 








 
the Hedge Agreements. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such
right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy. 
 10.10. Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.
To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or any Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, 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 and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party
under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or
related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. 
 10.11. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 10.12. Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender
hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The
amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as
an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. 
 10.13. Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for
convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect. 
 10.14.
APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES
THEREOF. 
 10.15. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
HERETO OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT 

  

 99 








 
JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH CREDIT PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH
ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (A) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; (B) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH
PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 10.1; (D) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE
(C) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT; AND (E) AGREES THAT AGENTS AND
LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. 
 10.16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION
BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER
IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY
CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER
IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.
THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 10.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY
TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS
A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. 
  

 100 








 10.17. Confidentiality. Each Agent and each Lender shall hold all non-public information regarding
Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their businesses identified as such by Borrower and obtained by such Lender pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of
such nature, it being understood and agreed by Borrower that, in any event, each Agent and each Lender may make (i) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Lender or Agent and to their respective agents and advisors (and to other
Persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 10.17), (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by
any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation of any Loans or any participations therein or by any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the
professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations (provided, such assignees, transferees, participants, counterparties and advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by either the
provisions of this Section 10.17 or other provisions at least as restrictive as this Section 10.17), (iii) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall
undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Credit Parties received by it from any of the Agents or any Lender, and (iv) disclosures required or requested by any governmental agency or
representative thereof or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process; provided, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender and each Agent shall make reasonable efforts to notify Borrower of any
request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any
such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information. In addition, each Agent and each Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers
to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. 
 10.18. Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the
Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under
this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would
have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase
provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Borrower shall pay to
Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the
intention of Lenders and Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, 

  

 101 








 
charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically
and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to Borrower. 
 10.19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute
but one and the same instrument. 
 10.20. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart
hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by Borrower and Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof. 
 10.21. Patriot Act. Each Lender and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to
the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as
applicable, to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act. 
 10.22. Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words
“execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same
legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in
Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
