5.    Effect of Amendment.  Except as expressly amended and modified by this Amendment, all provisions of the RFA and the SSA shall remain in full force and effect. After this Amendment becomes effective, all references in the RFA and the SSA to “this Agreement”, “hereof”, “herein” or words of similar effect referring to the RFA or the SSA, as applicable, shall be deemed to be references to the RFA and the SSA as amended by this Amendment.

(a)    Swing Line Loan Commitments. During the Revolving Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Swing Line Lender shall, from time to time, make Swing Line Loans to Borrower in the aggregate amount up to but not exceeding the Swing Line Sublimit; provided that after giving effect to the making of any Swing Line Loan, in no event shall the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect. Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.3 may be repaid and reborrowed during the Revolving Commitment Period. Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall expire on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date and all Swing Line Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Swing Line Loans and the Revolving Commitments 

43

shall be paid in full no later than the earlier of the date that is (x) to the extent not refunded pursuant to clause (c) below prior to such date, five Business Days after the date such Swing Line Loan is made and (y) the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.
(b)    Borrowing Mechanics for Swing Line Loans.
(i)    Swing Line Loans shall be made in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount.
(ii)    Subject to Section 3.2(b), whenever Borrower desires that Swing Line Lender make a Swing Line Loan, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a Funding Notice no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the proposed Credit Date.

Except as provided herein, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swing Line Loans available to Borrower on the applicable Credit Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Swing Line Loans received by Administrative Agent from Swing Line Lender to be credited to the account of Borrower at Administrative Agent’s Principal Office, or to such other account as may be designated in writing to Administrative Agent by Borrower.
(iv)    With respect to any Swing Line Loans which have not been voluntarily prepaid by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13, Swing Line Lender may at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, deliver to Administrative Agent (with a copy to Borrower), no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least one (1) Business Day in advance of the proposed Credit Date, a notice (which shall be deemed to be a Funding Notice given by Borrower) requesting that each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans to Borrower on such Credit Date in an amount equal to the amount of such Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given which Swing Line Lender requests Lenders to prepay. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (1) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by the Lenders other than Swing Line Lender shall be immediately delivered by Administrative Agent to Swing Line Lender (and not to Borrower) and applied to repay a corresponding portion of the Refunded Swing Line Loans and (2) on the day such Revolving Loans are made, Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Refunded Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made by Swing Line Lender to Borrower, and such portion of the Swing Line Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall no longer be due under the Swing Line Note of Swing Line Lender but shall instead constitute part of Swing Line Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans to Borrower and shall be due under the Revolving Loan Note issued by Borrower to Swing Line Lender. Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender to charge Borrower’s accounts with Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay Swing Line Lender the amount of the Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by Lenders, including the Revolving Loans deemed to be made by Swing Line Lender, are not sufficient to repay in full the Refunded Swing Line Loans. If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to Swing Line Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of Borrower from Swing Line Lender in bankruptcy, by 

44

assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 2.17.
(v)    If for any reason Revolving Loans are not made pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(iv) in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to Swing Line Lender in respect of any outstanding Swing Line Loans on or before the third Business Day after demand for payment thereof by Swing Line Lender, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have purchased a participation in such outstanding Swing Line Loans, and in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the applicable unpaid amount together with accrued interest thereon. Upon one (1) Business Days’ notice from Swing Line Lender, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall deliver to Swing Line Lender an amount equal to its respective participation in the applicable unpaid amount in same day funds at the Principal Office of Swing Line Lender. In order to evidence such participation each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment agrees to enter into a participation agreement at the request of Swing Line Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Swing Line Lender. In the event any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment fails to make available to Swing Line Lender the amount of such Lender’s participation as provided in this paragraph, Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three Business Days at the rate customarily used by Swing Line Lender for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate, as applicable.
(vi)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (1) each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans pursuant to the second preceding paragraph and each Lender’s obligation to purchase a participation in any unpaid Swing Line Loans pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set‐off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against Swing Line Lender, any Credit Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default; (C) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Credit Party; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Credit Document by any party thereto; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that such obligations of each Lender are subject to the condition that Swing Line Lender had not received prior notice from Borrower or the Requisite Lenders that any of the conditions under Section 3.2 to the making of the applicable Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans, were not satisfied at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or unpaid Swing Line Loans were made; and (2) Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans (A) if it has elected not to do so after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default, (B) it does not in good faith believe that all conditions under Section 3.2 to the making of such Swing Line Loan have been satisfied or waived by the Requisite Lenders or (C) at a time when any Lender is a Defaulting Lender unless Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and Borrower to eliminate Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swing Line Loan, including by Cash Collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swing Line Loans.
(c)    Resignation and Removal of Swing Line Lender. Swing Line Lender may resign as Swing Line Lender upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrower. Swing Line Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among Borrower, Administrative Agent, the replaced Swing Line Lender (provided that no consent will be required if the replaced Swing Line Lender has no Swing 

45

Line Loans outstanding) and the successor Swing Line Lender. Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of Swing Line Lender. At the time any such replacement or resignation shall become effective, (i) Borrower shall prepay any outstanding Swing Line Loans made by the resigning or removed Swing Line Lender, (ii) upon such prepayment, the resigning or removed Swing Line Lender shall surrender any Swing Line Note held by it to Borrower for cancellation, and (iii) Borrower shall issue, if so requested by the successor Swing Line Lender, a new Swing Line Note to the successor Swing Line Lender, in the principal amount of the Swing Line Sublimit then in effect and with other appropriate insertions. From and after the effective date of any such replacement or resignation, (x) any successor Swing Line Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of a Swing Line Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swing Line Loans made thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Swing Line Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swing Line Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swing Line Lenders, as the context shall require.
(d)    Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments. If the Maturity Date shall have occurred in respect of any Class of Revolving Commitments (the “Expiring Revolving Commitment”) at a time when another Class or Classes of Revolving Commitments is or are in effect with a longer maturity date (each a “Non-Expiring Revolving Commitment” and collectively, the “Non-Expiring Revolving Commitments”), then with respect to each outstanding Swing Line Loan, if consented to by the applicable Swing Line Lender, on the earliest occurring maturity date such Swing Line Loan shall be deemed reallocated to the Class or Classes of the Non-Expiring Revolving Commitments on a pro rata basis; provided that (x) to the extent that the amount of such reallocation would cause the aggregate Revolving Exposure to exceed the aggregate amount of such Non-Expiring Revolving Commitments, immediately prior to such reallocation the amount of Swing Line Loans to be reallocated equal to such excess shall be repaid or Cash Collateralized in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount and (y) notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall still be obligated to pay Swing Line Loans allocated to the Revolving Lenders holding the Expiring Revolving Commitments at the maturity date of the Expiring Revolving Commitments or if the Loans have been accelerated prior to the maturity date of the Expiring Revolving Commitments. Upon the maturity date of any Class of Revolving Commitments, the Swing Line Sublimit may be reduced as agreed between the Swing Line Lender and Borrower, without the consent of any other Person.
2.4    Issuance of Letters of Credit and Purchase of Participations Therein.
(a)    Letters of Credit. During the Revolving Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower in the aggregate amount up to but not exceeding the Letter of Credit Sublimit; provided, (i) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars; (ii) the stated amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $250,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to Issuing Bank; (iii) after giving effect to such issuance, in no event shall the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect; (iv) after giving effect to such issuance, in no event shall the Letter of Credit Usage exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect; and (v) in no event shall any standby Letter of Credit have an expiration date later than the earlier of (1) five (5) days prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date and (2) the date which is one (1) year from the date of issuance of such standby Letter of Credit. Subject to the foregoing, Issuing Bank may agree that a standby Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one (1) year each, unless Issuing Bank elects not to extend for any such additional period, and so notifies the beneficiary thereof and Borrower thirty (30) days in advance that such standby Letter of Credit will not be so extended; provided, that Issuing Bank shall not extend any such Letter 

46

of Credit if it has received written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time Issuing Bank must elect to allow such extension; provided, further, that if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and Borrower to eliminate Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit of the Defaulting Lender.
(b)    Notice of Issuance. Subject to Section 3.2(b), whenever Borrower desires the issuance, amendment or modification of a Letter of Credit, it shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Issuance Notice no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three Business Days (in the case of standby letters of credit), or in each case such shorter period as may be agreed to by Issuing Bank in any particular instance, in advance of the proposed date of issuance, amendment or modification. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2, Issuing Bank shall issue, amend or modify the requested Letter of Credit only in accordance with Issuing Bank’s standard operating procedures. Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit or amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each Lender with a Revolving Commitment of such issuance, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4(e).
(c)    Responsibility of Issuing Bank With Respect to Requests for Drawings and Payments. In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, Issuing Bank shall be responsible only to examine the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. As between Borrower and Issuing Bank, Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by Issuing Bank, by the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuing Bank, including any Governmental Acts; none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of Issuing Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing and in furtherance thereof, any action taken or omitted by Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not give rise to any liability on the part of Issuing Bank to Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.4(c), Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against Issuing Bank for any liability arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(d)    Reimbursement by Borrower of Amounts Drawn or Paid Under Letters of Credit. In the event Issuing Bank has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit, it shall immediately notify 

47

Borrower and Administrative Agent, and Borrower shall reimburse Issuing Bank on or before the Business Day immediately following the date on which Borrower was notified by Issuing Bank that such drawing was honored (the “Reimbursement Date”) in an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the amount of such honored drawing; provided, that anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless Borrower shall have notified Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date such drawing is honored that Borrower intends to reimburse Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, Borrower shall be deemed to have given a timely Funding Notice to Administrative Agent requesting Lenders with Revolving Commitments to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of such honored drawing, and (ii) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in Section 3.2, Lenders with Revolving Commitments shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount of such honored drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by Administrative Agent to reimburse Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing; and provided, further, that if for any reason proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by Issuing Bank on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such honored drawing, Borrower shall reimburse Issuing Bank, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such honored drawing over the aggregate amount of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received. Nothing in this Section 2.4(d) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender with a Revolving Commitment from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against any such Lender resulting from the failure of such Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this Section 2.4(d).
(e)    Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender having a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased, and hereby agrees to irrevocably purchase, from Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (with respect to the Revolving Commitments) of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder. In the event that Borrower shall fail for any reason to reimburse Issuing Bank as provided in Section 2.4(d), Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each Lender with a Revolving Commitment of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of such Lender’s respective participation therein based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitments. Each Lender with a Revolving Commitment shall make available to Issuing Bank an amount equal to its respective participation, in Dollars and in same day funds, at the office of Issuing Bank specified in such notice, not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such office of Issuing Bank is located) after the date notified by Issuing Bank. In the event that any Lender with a Revolving Commitment fails to make available to Issuing Bank on such Business Day the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 2.4(e), Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three Business Days at the rate customarily used by Issuing Bank for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate. Nothing in this Section 2.4(e) shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender with a Revolving Commitment to recover from Issuing Bank any amounts made available by such Lender to Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) in the event that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit in respect of which payment was made by such Lender constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Issuing Bank as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) for all or any portion of any drawing honored by Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.4(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received by Issuing Bank from Borrower in reimbursement of such honored drawing when such payments 

48

are received. Any such distribution shall be made to a Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on Appendix B or at such other address as such Lender may request.
(f)    Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Issuing Bank for drawings honored under the Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Revolving Loans made by Lenders pursuant to Section 2.4(d) and the obligations of Lenders under Section 2.4(e) shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, set‐off, defense or other right which Borrower or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), Issuing Bank, Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against Borrower, whether in connection herewith, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured); (iii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (v) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (vi) any breach hereof or any other Credit Document by any party thereto; (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; or (viii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided, in each case, that payment by Issuing Bank under the applicable Letter of Credit shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank under the circumstances in question as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable Issuing Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(g)    Indemnification. Without duplication of any obligation of Borrower under Section 10.2 or 10.3, in addition to amounts payable as provided herein, Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless Issuing Bank from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which Issuing Bank may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit by Issuing Bank, other than as a result of (1) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (2) the wrongful dishonor by Issuing Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit issued by it, or (ii) the failure of Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any Governmental Act.
(h)    Resignation and Removal of Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may resign as Issuing Bank upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrower. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among Borrower, Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank (provided that no consent will be required if the replaced Issuing Bank has no Letters of Credit or reimbursement obligations with respect thereto outstanding) and the successor Issuing Bank. Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of such Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement or resignation shall become effective, Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank. From and after the effective date of any such replacement or 

49

resignation, (i) any successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement or resignation of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto to the extent that Letters of Credit issued by it remain outstanding and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement or resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
(i)    Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments. If the expiration date for Letters of Credit in respect of any Class of Revolving Commitments occurs prior to the expiry date of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if consented to by Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit, if one or more other Classes of Revolving Commitments in respect of which the expiration date for Letters of Credit shall not have so occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit for which consent has been obtained shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.4(d) and (e)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Commitments in respect of such non-terminating Classes up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of the unutilized Revolving Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount. Upon the maturity date of any Class of Revolving Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit may be reduced as agreed between Issuing Banks and Borrower, without the consent of any other Person.
2.5    Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds.
(a)    Availability of Funds. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the 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, 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 (3) Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. In the event that (i) Administrative Agent declines to make a requested amount available to Borrower until such time as all applicable Lenders have made payment to Administrative Agent, (ii) a Lender fails to fund to Administrative Agent all or any portion of the Loans required to be funded by such Lender hereunder prior to the time specified in this Agreement and (iii) such Lender’s failure results in Administrative Agent failing to make a corresponding amount available to Borrower on the Credit Date, at Administrative Agent’s option, such Lender shall not receive interest hereunder with respect to the requested amount of such Lender’s Loans for the period commencing with the time specified in this Agreement for receipt of payment by Borrower through and including the time of Borrower’s receipt of the requested amount. 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 

50

of Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.5(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Closing Date Term Loan Commitments, New Term Loan Commitments and Revolving 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 made on the Closing Date, together with cash on hand, shall be applied by Borrower to refinance the Existing Indebtedness and to pay fees, commissions and expenses in connection therewith. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans made after the Closing Date, and Letters of Credit issued (or deemed issued), on or after the Closing Date shall be applied by Borrower for working capital and general corporate purposes of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including Consolidated Capital Expenditures and Permitted Acquisitions.
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 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 Revolving Commitments 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), solely for this purpose acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Revolving Commitments and Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender (with respect to (i) any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans, (ii) the identity of the other Lender’s (but, except with respect to Borrower, not any information with respect to such other Lenders’ Loans) and (iii) any entry relating to the Loans of Sponsor Affiliated Lenders) 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 Revolving 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 Revolving Commitments or Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any Loan. Borrower hereby designates Administrative Agent to serve as Borrower’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.7, and Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent Administrative Agent serves in such capacity, Administrative Agent 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 Term Loan, New Term Loan, Revolving Loan or Swing Line Loan, as the case may be.

2.8    Interest on Loans. 
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:
(a)    in the case of Term Loans and Revolving Loans:
(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; and
(iii)    in the case of Swing Line Loans, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
(b)    The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan (except a Swing Line Loan which can be made and maintained as Base Rate Loans only), 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.
(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 (1) 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.
(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, with respect to a Term Loan, the last Interest Payment Date with respect to such Term 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 (i) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to interest accrued on and to each 

52

such payment date; (ii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears 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 applicable Interest Payment Date.
(f)    Borrower agrees to pay to Issuing Bank, with respect to drawings honored under any Letter of Credit, interest on the amount paid by Issuing Bank in respect of each such honored drawing from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower at a rate equal to (i) for the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the applicable Reimbursement Date, the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and (ii) thereafter, a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans.
(g)    Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.8(f) shall be computed on the basis of a 365/366‐day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full. Promptly upon receipt by Issuing Bank of any payment of interest pursuant to Section 2.8(f), Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender, out of the interest received by Issuing Bank in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date on which Issuing Bank is reimbursed for the amount of such drawing (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of any Revolving Loans), the amount that such Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would have been payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit. In the event Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by Lenders for all or any portion of such honored drawing, Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under Section 2.4(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any interest received by Issuing Bank in respect of that portion of such honored drawing so reimbursed by Lenders for the period from the date on which Issuing Bank was so reimbursed by Lenders to but excluding the date on which such portion of such honored drawing is reimbursed by Borrower.
2.9    Conversion/Continuation.
(i)    to convert at any time all or any part of any Term Loan or Revolving Loan equal to $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan; 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 $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar Rate Loan.
(b)    Subject to Section 3.2(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 (1) Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion 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 shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation 

53

in accordance therewith. 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.
2.10    Default Interest. 
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a), (f) or (g), the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post‐petition interest in any proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws) 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 that are Revolving 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.
(i)    commitment fees equal to (1) the average of the daily difference between (A) the Revolving Commitments and (B) the aggregate principal amount of (x) all outstanding Revolving Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding Swing Line Loans) plus (y) the Letter of Credit Usage, times (2) the Applicable Revolving Commitment Fee Percentage; and
(ii)    letter of credit fees equal to (1) the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans, times (2) the average aggregate daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all such Letters of Credit (regardless of whether any conditions for drawing could then be met and determined as of the close of business on any date of determination).
All fees referred to in this Section 2.11(a) shall be paid to Administrative Agent at its Principal Office and upon receipt, Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof.
(b)    Borrower agrees to pay directly to Issuing Bank, for its own account, the following fees:
(i)    a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum, times the average aggregate daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit (determined as of the close of business on any date of determination); and
(ii)    such documentary and processing charges for any issuance, amendment, transfer or payment of a Letter of Credit as are in accordance with Issuing Bank’s standard schedule for such charges and as in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be.
(c)    All fees referred to in Section 2.11(a) and 2.11(b)(i) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360‐day year and the actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last 

54

Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year during the Revolving Commitment Period, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.
(d)    Borrower agrees to pay on the Closing Date to each Lender party to this Agreement as a Lender on the Closing Date, as fee compensation for the funding of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment, a closing fee in an amount equal to 0.50% of the stated principal amount of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment, payable to such Lender from the proceeds of its Term Loan as and when funded on the Closing Date. Such closing fee will be in all respects fully earned, due and payable on the Closing Date and non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter.
(e)    In addition to any of the foregoing fees, Borrower agrees to pay to the Agents such other fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon.
2.12    Scheduled Payments. 
The principal amounts of the Term Loans shall be repaid, (a) on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter commencing on the last day of the first full Fiscal Quarter after the Closing Date, in consecutive equal quarterly installments (each, an “Installment”) equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Term Loans and (b) on the Maturity Date in an amount equal to the remaining outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans; provided, in the event any New Term Loans are made, such New Term Loans shall be repaid on each amortization date occurring on or after the applicable Increased Amount Date in the manner specified in the applicable Incremental Amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) such Installments shall be reduced in connection with any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans in accordance with Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15, as applicable and (y) the 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 applicable to such Term Loans.
2.13    Voluntary Prepayments/Commitment Reductions.
(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 $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount (or the outstanding amount of such Base Rate Loans);  
(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 $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount (or the outstanding amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loans); and
(3)    with respect to Swing Line Loans, Borrower may prepay any such Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000, and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount (or the outstanding amount of such Swing Line Loans).

55

(ii)    All such prepayments shall be made:
(1)    upon not less than one (1) Business Day’s prior written or telephonic notice in the case of Base Rate Loans;
(2)    upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans; and
(3)    upon written or telephonic notice on the date of prepayment, in the case of Swing Line Loans;
in each case given to Administrative Agent or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed by delivery of written notice thereof to Administrative Agent (and Administrative Agent will promptly transmit such original notice for Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as the case may be, by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender) or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. 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; provided, however, any such notice may state that the date of such prepayment of the Loans is conditioned upon the effectiveness of another specified financing or other event, in which case the date of such reduction or termination may be delayed or the notice may be revoked by Borrower (by written notice to Administrative Agent) if such financing specified therein is not consummated. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section 2.15(a).
(b)    Voluntary Commitment Reductions.
(i)    Borrower may, upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice promptly confirmed by delivery of written notice thereof to Administrative Agent (which original written notice Administrative Agent will promptly transmit by telefacsimile or telephone to each applicable Lender), at any time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the Revolving Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Revolving Commitments exceed the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or reduction; provided, any such partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount.
(ii)    Borrower’s notice to Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in Borrower’s notice and shall reduce the Revolving Commitment of each Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share thereof.
(c)    Term Loan Call Protection. In the event that, on or prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date, all or any portion of the Term Loans (other than New Term Loans), other than in connection with any merger, acquisition, Change of Control or sale of all or substantially all assets of Borrower, in each case, that would not be permitted under the terms of this Agreement, is (i) repaid, prepaid, refinanced or replaced with the proceeds of any Indebtedness having an All-In Yield (excluding any structuring, commitment and arranger fees or other similar fees) that is less than the All-In Yield of the Term Loans (or portion thereof) so repaid, prepaid, refinanced or replaced or (ii) repriced or effectively refinanced through any waiver, consent or amendment of this Agreement the result of which would be the lowering of the All-In Yield of the Term Loans (or portion thereof) so repriced or effectively refinanced (a “Repricing 

56

Transaction”), such repayment, prepayment, refinancing, replacement or repricing will be made at 101.0% of the principal amount so repaid, prepaid, refinanced, replaced or repriced. If all or any portion of the Term Loans held by any Lender is repaid, prepaid, refinanced replaced or repriced pursuant to a “yank-a-bank” or similar provision in the Credit Documents as a result of, or in connection with, such Lender not agreeing or otherwise consenting to any waiver, consent or amendment referred to in clause (ii) above (or otherwise in connection with a Repricing Transaction), such repayment, prepayment, refinancing or replacement will be made at 101.0% of the principal amount so repaid, prepaid, refinanced, replaced or repriced.
2.14    Mandatory Prepayments/Commitment Reductions.
(a)    Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds. No later than the third Business Day following the date of receipt by Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or Administrative Agent as loss payee, of any Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds in excess of $5,000,000 in the aggregate in any Fiscal Year, Borrower shall prepay the Loans and/or the Revolving Commitments shall be permanently reduced as set forth in Section 2.15(b) in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds; provided, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have the option, directly or through one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries, to invest such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds within twelve months after receipt thereof (or if Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary has committed to so invest such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds in writing within such 12-month period, to invest such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds within 18 months of the receipt thereof) in real estate, equipment and other fixed or capital assets used or useful in the business of Borrower and its Subsidiaries (or make an Investment in any Permitted Business of Borrower, any Guarantor or any Immaterial Subsidiary; provided, however, for purposes of clarity, if any such Investment in an Immaterial Subsidiary shall cause such Immaterial Subsidiary to cease to be an Immaterial Subsidiary such Subsidiary shall be and become a Guarantor and pledge its assets, in each case in accordance with Section 5.10), which investment may include the repair, restoration or replacement of the applicable assets thereof, in which case the amount of such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds invested shall not be required to be applied to repay the Loans (with a reduction in Revolving Commitments) pursuant to this Section 2.14(b).
(b)    Issuance of Debt. No later than the first Business Day following the date of receipt by Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Cash proceeds from the incurrence of any Indebtedness of Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than with respect to any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.1), Borrower shall prepay the Loans and/or the Revolving Commitments shall be permanently reduced 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.
(c)    Consolidated Excess Cash Flow. For each Fiscal Year ending after the Closing Date, in the event that there shall be Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year (or, in the case of the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2015, Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for the portion of such year commencing on August 1, 2015 and ending on the last day of such Fiscal Year), Borrower shall, no later than one hundred and twenty (120) 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 made with Internally Generated Cash (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) repayments of Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans except to the extent the Revolving Commitments are permanently reduced in connection with such repayments and (y) repurchases of Term Loans pursuant to Section 10.6(h)); provided, that if, as of the last day of the most recently ended Fiscal Year, the Total Net Leverage Ratio (determined for any such period by reference to the Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(c) calculating the Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such Fiscal 

57

Year) shall be (A)  less than 3.25:1.00 but greater than or equal to 2.75:1.00, Borrower shall only be required to make the prepayments and/or reductions otherwise required hereby in an amount equal to (i) 25% of such Consolidated Excess Cash Flow minus (ii) voluntary repayments of the Loans made with Internally Generated Cash (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) repayments of Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans except to the extent the Revolving Commitments are permanently reduced in connection with such repayments and (y) repurchases of Term Loans pursuant to Section 10.6(h)) or (B) less than 2.75:1.00, Borrower shall not be required to make prepayments and/or reductions otherwise required hereby with respect to such Fiscal Year.
(d)    Revolving Loans and Swing Loans. Borrower shall from time to time prepay first, the Swing Line Loans, and second, the Revolving Loans to the extent necessary so that the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments shall not at any time exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect.
(e)    Prepayment Certificate. Concurrently with any prepayment of the Loans and/or reduction of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Sections 2.14(a) through 2.14(d), 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 and/or the Revolving Commitments shall be permanently reduced 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.
2.15    Application of Prepayments/Reductions.
first, to repay outstanding Swing Line Loans to the full extent thereof;
second, to repay outstanding Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof; and
third, to prepay the Term Loans on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof); and further applied on a pro rata basis to reduce the scheduled remaining Installments of principal of the Term Loans.
(a)    Application of Mandatory Prepayments by Type of Loans. Any amount required to be paid pursuant to Sections 2.14(a) through 2.14(d) shall be applied as follows:
first, to prepay Term Loans on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof) and further applied as directed by Borrower or, if not specified by Borrower to the remaining scheduled Installments of principal of the Term Loans in the direct order of maturity;
second, to prepay the Swing Line Loans to the full extent thereof;
third, to prepay the Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof and without permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments;
fourth, to prepay outstanding reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit; 
fifth, to Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit.

58

(b)    Application of Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans. Considering each Class of Loans being prepaid separately, any prepayment thereof 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 which 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 in respect of the principal amount of any Loan (other than voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans) shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, 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.
(b)    Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) 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.
(c)    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.
(d)    Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” as they may apply to Revolving Loans, whenever any payment to be made hereunder with respect to any Loan shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to Revolving Loans only, such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the Revolving Commitment fees hereunder.
(e)    Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) to be a non‐conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to Borrower and each applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non‐conforming. 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.
(f)    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 or pursuant to any sale of, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, all payments or proceeds received by Agents in respect of any of the Obligations, shall be applied in accordance with the application arrangements described in Section 9.2 of the Pledge and Security Agreement.
2.17    Ratable Sharing. 

59

Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set‐off or banker’s lien, 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, amounts payable in respect of Letters of Credit, 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, consolidation, 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. The provisions of this Section 2.17 shall not be construed to apply to (a) any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (b) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or other Obligations owed to it.
2.18    Making or Maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans.
(a)    Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans. In the event that on any date (i) any Lender shall have determined acting in good faith (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error) that the making, maintaining, converting to or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans 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) Administrative Agent is advised by the Requisite Lenders acting in good faith (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error) that the making, maintaining, converting to or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans 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 the Lenders in that market, then, and in any such event (each, an “Illegality Event”), such Lenders (or in the case of the preceding clause (i), such Lender) shall be an “Affected Lender” and such Affected Lender shall on that day give notice (by e-mail 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). If Administrative Agent receives a notice from (x) any Lender pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence or (y) a notice from Lenders constituting Requisite Lenders pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, then (1) the obligation of the Lenders (or, in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such Lender) to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by each Affected Lender (and such Affected Lender shall give Administrative Agent and 

60

Borrower written notice promptly upon such circumstances no longer exist), (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 Lenders (or in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such 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 Lenders’ (or in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such Lender’s) obligations to maintain their respective outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the 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 written or telephonic notice (promptly confirmed by delivery of written notice thereof) to Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). During any period in which an Illegality Event is in effect, Borrower may request that the Affected Lenders confirm that the circumstances giving rise to the Illegality Event continue to be in effect. If, within fifteen (15) Business Days following such confirmation request, Administrative Agent has not confirmed the continued effectiveness of such Illegality Event, then such Illegality Event shall no longer be deemed to be in effect; provided, that (A) Borrower shall not be permitted to submit any such request more than once in any Fiscal Quarter and (B) nothing contained in this Section 2.18(b) or the failure to provide confirmation of the continued effectiveness of such Illegality Event shall in any way affect Administrative Agent’s or Requisite Lenders’ right to provide any additional notices of a Illegality Event as provided in this Section 2.18(b).
(b)    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 and shall be conclusive absent manifest error), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid or calculated to be payable 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 calculations shall take into account any minimum rates then applicable pursuant to the definition of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate) 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; or (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.
(c)    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.
(d)    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 

61

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)    Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.19(b)) shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that (A) 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 (including without limitation Basel III) or (B) compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority (including without limitation Basel III), in each case after the date hereof, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or Revolving Commitments or Letters of Credit, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase‐in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender 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 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. For the avoidance of doubt, clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 2.19 shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning liquidity and capital adequacy issued by any regulatory authority (regardless of when enacted) pursuant to Basel III (i) under or in connection with the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and (ii) in connection with the implementation of the recommendations of the Bank for International Settlements or the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority), regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.
2.20    Taxes; Withholding, Etc.
Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by or on behalf of any Credit Party hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall (except to the extent required by law, including FATCA) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax (other than Excluded Taxes) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority.
(a)    Withholding of Taxes. If any Credit Party or any other Person (acting as a withholding agent) is (in such withholding agent’s reasonable good faith discretion) 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 (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.20(b)) under any of the Credit Documents: (i) Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as Borrower becomes aware of it; (ii) Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, 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 

62

Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of Administrative Agent or such Lender; (iii) other than in respect of an Excluded Tax, and unless otherwise provided in this Section 2.20, 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 (30) days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (ii) above to pay, Borrower 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, with respect to any United States federal withholding tax, 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; provided that additional amounts shall be payable to a Lender to the extent such Lender’s assignor was entitled to receive such additional amounts.
(b)    Evidence of Exemption From U.S. Withholding Tax. Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Non‐US Lender”) shall, to the extent such Lender is legally able to do so, deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Borrower, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Borrower or Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (i) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W‐8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W‐8ECI, W-8EXP and/or W-8IMY (or, in each case, any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Borrower to establish that such Lender is not subject to (or is subject to a reduced rate of) deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Credit Documents, or (ii) if such Lender is not a “bank” or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, a Certificate re Non‐Bank Status, substantially in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto, together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W‐8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Borrower to establish that such Lender is not subject to (or is subject to a reduced rate of) deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Credit Documents. Each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for United States federal income tax purposes (a “U.S. Lender”) and is not an exempt recipient within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-4(c) shall deliver to Administrative Agent and Borrower on or prior to the Closing Date (or, if later, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, or otherwise prove that it is entitled to such an exemption. Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.20(c) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in 

63

circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Borrower two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W‐8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W‐8ECI, W-8EXP, W-8IMY and/or W-9 (or, in each case, any successor form), or a Certificate re Non‐Bank Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W‐8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form), as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Borrower to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Credit Documents, or notify Administrative Agent and Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Non‐US Lender under Section 2.20(b)(iii) if such Lender shall have failed (1) to deliver the forms, certificates or other evidence required by the first sentence of this Section 2.20(c) or (2) to notify Administrative Agent and Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence, as the case may be; provided, if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of the first sentence of this Section 2.20(c) on the Closing Date or on the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it became a Lender, as applicable, nothing in this last sentence of Section 2.20(c) shall relieve Borrower of its obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant 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 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.
(c)    Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.20(b), Borrower shall timely pay all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authorities in accordance with applicable law. Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent official receipts or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent in respect of any Other Taxes payable hereunder promptly after payment of such Other Taxes.
(d)    Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent and any Lender for the full amount of Taxes for which additional amounts are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.20(b) arising in connection with payments made under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and Other Taxes (including any such Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.20) paid by Administrative Agent or Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Credit Party shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such payment shall be due within thirty (30) days of such Credit Party’s receipt of such certificate.
(e)    If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.20 (including additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subclause (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subclause (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this 

64

subclause (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(f)    If a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this subclause (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
2.21    Obligation to Mitigate. 
Each Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.21) agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans or Letters of Credit, as the case may be, 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(c), 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 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(c), 2.19 or 2.20 would be reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Revolving Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Revolving Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit or the interests of such Lender; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office or take such other measures pursuant to this Section 2.21 unless Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office or take such other measures 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.
(i)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.4 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing 

65

by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.22(d); fourth, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a Deposit Account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize Issuing Bank’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.22(d); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iii). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.22(a)(i) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(ii)    Certain Fees.
(1)    No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to Section 2.11(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender); provided such Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(ii) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to its Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.22(d).
(2)    With respect to any fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (1) above, Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iii) below, (y) pay to Issuing 

66

Bank the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(iii)    Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless Borrower shall have otherwise notified Administrative Agent at such time, Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(iv)    Cash Collateral/Repayment. If the reallocation described in clause (iii) (with respect to Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (A) Cash Collateralize Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.22(d) and/or (B) repay outstanding Swing Line Loans to the extent the participations therein cannot be fully allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with clause (a)(iii) above.
(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Swing Line Lender and Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the applicable Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iii), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c)    New Swing Line Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan unless it is satisfied that the participations therein will be fully allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with clause (a)(iii) above and the Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein and (ii) Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that the participations in any existing Letters of Credit as well as the new, extended, renewed or increased Letter of Credit has been or will be fully allocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with clause (a)(iii) above and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein except to the extent such Defaulting Lender’s participation has been or will be fully Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 2.22(d).

67

(d)    Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within two (2) Business Days following the written request of Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank (with a copy to Administrative Agent) Borrower shall Cash Collateralize Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iii) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.
(i)    Grant of Security Interest. Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Issuing Bank, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit, to be applied pursuant to clause (ii) below. If at any time Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, Borrower will, promptly upon demand by Administrative Agent, pay or provide to Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(ii)    Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.22 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(iii)    Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.22 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender) or (ii) the determination by Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.22, the Person providing Cash Collateral and Issuing Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations; provided, further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Credit Documents.
(e)    Lender Counterparties. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Lender shall not be a Lender Counterparty with respect to any Hedge Agreement entered into while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender.
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 2.13(c), 2.18(c), 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 and continues to be a Defaulting Lender, and (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default pursuant to Section 2.22(b) within five Business Days after Borrower’s request that it cure such default; or (c) in connection with 

68

any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or 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 Revolving 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, a Non-Consenting Lender or a 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 2.13(c), 2.18(c), 2.19 or 2.20; or otherwise as if it were a prepayment 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; provided, Borrower may not make such election with respect to any Terminated Lender that is also an Issuing Bank unless, prior to the effectiveness of such election, Borrower shall have caused each outstanding Letter of Credit issued thereby to be cancelled. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Revolving 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. Each Lender agrees that if Borrower exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as a Non-Consenting Lender or Terminated Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with Section 10.6. In the event that a Lender does not comply with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within one (1) Business Day after receipt of such notice, each Lender hereby authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 10.6 on behalf of a Non-Consenting Lender or Terminated Lender and any such documentation so executed by Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 10.6.
2.24    Incremental Facilities.
(a)    Any Incremental Commitments effected through the establishment of one or more new tranches of Revolving Commitments or new Term Loans made on an Increased Amount Date shall be designated a separate Class of Incremental Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement. On any Increased Amount Date on which any New Term Loan Commitments of any Class are effected (including through any Term Loan Increase), subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions in this Section 2.24, (i) each New Term Loan Lender of such Class shall make a Loan to Borrower (a “New Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its New Term Loan Commitment of such Class and (ii) each New Term Loan Lender of such Class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the New Term Loan Commitment of such Class and the New Term Loans of such Class made pursuant thereto. On any Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Loan Commitments of any Class are effected through the establishment of one or more new revolving credit commitments (including through any Revolving Commitment Increase), subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions in this Section 2.24, (i) each New Revolving Loan Lender of such 

69

Class shall make its Commitment available to Borrower (when borrowed, a “New Revolving Loan” and collectively with any New Term Loan, an “Incremental Loan”) in an amount equal to its New Revolving Loan Commitment of such Class and (ii) each New Revolving Loan Lender of such Class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the New Revolving Loan Commitment of such Class and the New Revolving Loans of such Class made pursuant thereto.
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Commitments shall be effective, and no Incremental Loans shall be made, unless, on the applicable Increased Amount Date, (1) no Event of Default shall exist before or after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments or Incremental Loans, as applicable; (2) both before and after giving effect to the making of any Class of New Term Loans, each of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 shall be satisfied; and (3) to the extent secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations, (i) the New Revolving Loan Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, shall be effected pursuant to one or more Incremental Amendment executed and delivered by Borrower, the New Revolving Loan Lender or New Term Loan Lender, as applicable, and Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register and each New Revolving Loan Lender and New Term Loan Lender shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.20(c) (ii) Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.18(c) in connection with the New Revolving Loan Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments, as applicable and (iii) Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions, modifications of Mortgages, endorsements to any Title Policy or a new Title Policy with respect to any Real Estate Asset subject to a Mortgage, and other customary documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. Any New Term Loans made on an Increased Amount Date shall be designated a separate Class of New Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement.
(c)    On any Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Loan Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (a) each of the Revolving Loan Lenders shall assign to each of the New Revolving Loan Lenders, and each of the New Revolving Loan Lenders shall purchase from each of the Revolving Loan Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans will be held by existing Revolving Loan Lenders and New Revolving Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Loan Commitments to the Revolving Commitments, (b) each New Revolving Loan Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Commitment and each New Revolving Loan shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan and (c) each New Revolving Loan Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the New Revolving Loan Commitment and all matters relating thereto.
(d)    Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders promptly upon receipt of Borrower’s notice of each Increased Amount Date and, in respect thereof, (i)(A) the New Revolving Loan Commitments and the New Revolving Loan Lenders, (B) the new Class of New Revolving Loan Commitments and the New Revolving Loan Lenders of such Class, (C) the New Term Loan Commitments and the New Term Loan Lenders and/or (D) the new Class of Term Loan Commitments and the New Term Loan Lenders of such Class, as applicable, and (ii) with respect to New Revolving Loan Commitments that increase an existing class of Revolving Loan Commitment, notice to each Revolving Lender of such Class or the respective interests in such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loans, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this Section 2.24.
(e)    The terms, provisions and documentation of the New Term Loans and New Term Loan Commitments or the New Revolving Loans and New Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, of any Class shall be as agreed between Borrower and the applicable New Term Loan Lenders or New 

70

Revolving Loan Lenders providing such Incremental Commitments, and except as otherwise set forth herein, to the extent not identical to the Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, each existing on the Increased Amount Date, shall be reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent (it being understood that to the extent any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of any New Term Loans and New Term Loan Commitments or the New Revolving Loans and New Revolving Loan Commitments, no consent shall be required from Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant (x) is also added for the benefit of the Term Loans made on the Closing Date or (y) is only applicable after the Maturity Date of the Term Loans made on the Closing Date). In any event:
(i)    the New Term Loans:
(1)    (x) shall as determined by Borrower (A) rank pari passu or junior with the then-existing Term Loans in right of payment and (B) be unsecured or secured by the Collateral on either a pari passu or junior basis with the then-existing Term Loans (and to the extent subordinated in right of payment or security, documented as a separate facility in a separate agreement (and not in an Incremental Amendment) and subject to intercreditor arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and (y) if secured, shall not be secured by any asset other than the Collateral and in any event shall not be guaranteed by any Person other than the Guarantors;
(2)    shall not mature earlier than the Latest Maturity Date of any Term Loans outstanding at the time of incurrence of such New Term Loans;
(3)    shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity not shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of then-existing Term Loans,
(4)    to the extent secured on a pari passu basis with the then-existing Term Loans, shall have a Weighted Average Yield not greater than the applicable Weighted Average Yield payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as amended through the date of such calculation with respect to Term Loans made on the Closing Date plus 0.50% per annum unless the interest rate with respect to the Term Loans is increased so as to cause the then applicable Weighted Average Yield under this Agreement on the Term Loans made on the Closing Date to equal the Weighted Average Yield then applicable to the New Term Loans minus 0.50% per annum;
(5)    shall have an applicable margin, and subject to clauses (f)(i)(2) through (f)(i)(4) above, amortization determined by Borrower and the applicable New Term Loan Lenders; and
(6)    the New Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of Term Loans hereunder, to the extent specified in the applicable Incremental Amendment.
(ii)    the New Revolving Loan Commitments and New Revolving Loans shall be identical to the Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Loans, other than the Maturity Date and as set forth in this Section 2.24(f)(ii); provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.24 or otherwise:

71

(1)    any such New Revolving Loan Commitments or New Revolving Loans (x) shall as determined by Borrower (A) rank pari passu or junior with the then-existing Revolving Loans and Term Loans in right of payment and (B) be unsecured or secured by  the Collateral on either a pari passu or junior basis with the then-existing Revolving Loans and Term Loans (and to the extent subordinated in right of payment or security, documented as a separate facility in a separate agreement (and not in an Incremental Amendment) and subject to intercreditor arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (y) shall not, if secured, be secured by any asset other than the Collateral and in any event shall not be guaranteed by any Person other than the Guarantors.
(2)    any such New Revolving Loan Commitments or New Revolving Loans shall not mature earlier than the Latest Maturity Date of any Revolving Loans outstanding at the time of incurrence of such New Revolving Loan Commitments;
(3)    the borrowing and repayment (except for (x) payments of interest and fees at different rates on New Revolving Loan Commitments (and related outstandings), (y) repayments required upon the maturity date of the New Revolving Loan Commitments and (z) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments (subject to clause (5) below)) of Loans with respect to New Revolving Loan Commitments after the associated Increased Amount Date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Commitments on the Increased Amount Date;
(4)    subject to the provisions of Sections 2.3(d) and 2.4(i) to the extent dealing with Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit that mature or expire after a maturity date when there exist New Revolving Loan Commitments with a longer maturity date, all Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the Revolving Commitments on the Increased Amount Date (and except as provided in Sections 2.3(d) and 2.4(i), without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier maturity date with respect to Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued);
(A)    the permanent repayment of Revolving Loans with respect to, and termination of, New Revolving Loan Commitments after the associated Increased Amount Date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Commitments on the Increased Amount Date, except that Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate Commitments of any such Class on a better than pro rata basis as compared to any other Class with a later maturity date than such Class;
(B)    assignments and participations of New Revolving Loan Commitments and New Revolving Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans on the Increased Amount Date;
(C)    in the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase, the Maturity Date of such Revolving Commitment Increase shall be the same as the Maturity Date of the existing Revolving Commitments, such Revolving Commitment Increase shall require no scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to the Maturity Date of the existing Revolving Commitments at the time of incurrence of such Revolving Commitment Increase, and such Revolving Commitment Increase shall be effected as an increase in Commitments under the existing Revolving Commitments and on the exact same terms and pursuant to 

72

the exact same documentation applicable to the existing Revolving Commitments (it being understood that, if required to consummate a Revolving Commitment Increase, the pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors and undrawn fees on the existing Revolving Commitments may be increased, but additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to the lenders providing the Revolving Commitment Increase without any requirement to pay such amounts to the existing Revolving Lenders); and
(5)    any New Revolving Loan Commitments may constitute a separate Class or Classes, as the case may be, of Commitments from the Classes constituting the applicable Revolving Commitments prior to the Increased Amount Date.
(f)    Incremental Amendment. Commitments in respect of New Term Loans and New Revolving Loan Commitments shall become Commitments (or in the case of a New Revolving Loan Commitment to be provided by an existing Revolving Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Commitment), under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Credit Documents, executed by Borrower, each New Term Loan Lender and/or New Revolving Loan Lender, as applicable, providing such Commitments and Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Credit Party, Agent or Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.24(g). Borrower will use the proceeds of the New Term Loans and New Revolving Loan Commitments for working capital, general corporate purposes and any other purpose not prohibited by this Agreement, including Permitted Acquisitions, other Investments and Restricted Junior Payments and other distributions on account of the Equity Interests of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any New Term Loans or New Revolving Loan Commitments.
(g)    Reallocation of Revolving Credit Exposure. Upon any Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Loan Commitments are effected through an increase in the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.24, (a) each of the Revolving Lenders shall assign to each of the New Revolving Loan Lenders, and each of the New Revolving Loan Lenders shall purchase from each of the Revolving Lenders, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the New Revolving Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans will be held by existing Revolving Lenders and New Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Loan Commitments to the Revolving Commitments, (b) each New Revolving Loan Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Commitment and each Loan made thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan and (c) each New Revolving Loan Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the New Revolving Loan Commitments and all matters relating thereto. Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing and prepayment requirements in Sections 2.2 and 2.13 of this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
(h)    This Section 2.24 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.17 or 10.5 to the contrary.
2.25    Extensions of Loans. 
(a)    Borrower may from time to time, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.25, agree with one or more Lenders holding Loans and Commitments of any Class to extend the Maturity Date and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.25 (each such modification, an “Extension”) pursuant to one or more written offers (each an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by Borrower to all Lenders 

73

under any Class that is proposed to be extended under this Section 2.25, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the relative principal amounts of the outstanding Loans of each Lender in such Class) and on the same terms to each such Lender. In connection with each Extension, Borrower will provide notification to Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders of the applicable Class), no later than thirty (30) days’ prior to the maturity of the applicable Class or Classes to be extended of the requested new maturity date for the extended Loans of each such Class (each an “Extended Maturity Date”) and the due date for Lender responses. In connection with any Extension, each Lender of the applicable Class wishing to participate in such Extension shall, prior to such due date, provide Administrative Agent with a written notice thereof in a form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Any Lender that does not respond to an Extension Offer by the applicable due date shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension. In connection with any Extension, Borrower shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably established by, or reasonably acceptable to, Administrative Agent to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.25.
(b)    After giving effect to any Extension, the Term Loans or Revolving Commitments so extended shall cease to be a part of the Class that they were a part of immediately prior to the Extension and shall be a new Class hereunder; provided that at no time shall there be more than five different Classes of Term Loans and two different Classes of Revolving Commitments; provided, further, that, in the case of any Extension Amendment relating to Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans, (i) all borrowings and all prepayments of Revolving Loans shall continue to be made on a ratable basis among all Revolving Lenders, based on the relative amounts of their Revolving Commitments, until the repayment of the Revolving Loans attributable to the non-extended Revolving Commitments on the relevant Maturity Date, (ii) the allocation of the participation exposure with respect to any then-existing or subsequently issued or made Letter of Credit or Swing Line Loan as between the Revolving Commitments of such new “Class” and the remaining Revolving Commitments shall be made on a ratable basis in accordance with the relative amounts thereof until the Maturity Date relating to such non-extended Revolving Commitments has occurred, (iii) no termination of Extended Revolving Commitments and no repayment of Revolving Loans attributable to Extended Revolving Commitments accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in Extended Revolving Commitments shall be permitted unless such termination or repayment (and corresponding reduction) is accompanied by at least a pro rata termination or permanent repayment (and corresponding pro rata permanent reduction), as applicable, of the Existing Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans attributable to Existing Revolving Commitments (or all Existing Revolving Commitments of such Class and related Revolving Loans shall have otherwise been terminated and repaid in full) and (iv) with respect to Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans, the Maturity Date with respect to the Revolving Commitments may not be extended without the prior written consent of Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender. If the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments exceeds the Revolving Commitment as a result of the occurrence of the Maturity Date with respect to any Class of Revolving Commitments while an extended Class of Revolving Commitments remains outstanding, Borrower shall make such payments as are necessary in order to eliminate such excess on such Maturity Date.
(c)    The consummation and effectiveness of each Extension shall be subject to the following:
(i)    no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time any Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders or at the time of such Extension;
(ii)    the Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, of any Lender extended pursuant to any Extension (as applicable, “Extended Term Loans” or “Extended Revolving Commitments”) shall have the same terms as the Class of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, subject to the related Extension Amendment (as applicable, “Existing Term Loans” or “Existing Revolving Commitments”); except (A) the final maturity date of any Extended Term 

74

Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments of a Class to be extended pursuant to an Extension shall be later than the Maturity Date of the Class of Existing Term Loans or Existing Revolving Commitments, as applicable, subject to the related Extension Amendment, and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments of a Class to be extended pursuant to an Extension shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Class of Existing Term Loans or Existing Revolving Commitments, as applicable, subject to the related Extension Amendment; (B) the all-in pricing (including, without limitation, margins, fees and premiums) with respect to the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, may be higher or lower than the all-in pricing (including, without limitation, margins, fees and premiums) for the Existing Term Loans or Existing Revolving Commitments, as applicable; (C) the revolving credit commitment fee rate with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitments may be higher or lower than the revolving credit commitment fee rate for Existing Revolving Commitments, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (D) no repayment of any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall be permitted unless such repayment is accompanied by an at least pro rata repayment of all earlier maturing Loans (including previously extended Loans) (or all earlier maturing Loans (including previously extended Loans) shall otherwise be or have been terminated and repaid in full); (E) the Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments may contain a “most favored nation” provision for the benefit of Lenders holding Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable; and (F) the other terms and conditions applicable to Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments may be terms different than those with respect to the Existing Term Loans or Existing Revolving Commitments, as applicable, so long as such terms and conditions only apply after the Latest Maturity Date of the Loans not being extended; provided, further, each Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable extending Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.25, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the extending Lenders as a new “Class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder; provided, however, no Extension Amendment may provide for any Class of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments to be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Credit Party that does not also secure the Existing Term Loans or Existing Revolving Commitments;
(iii)    all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications by Borrower generally directed to the applicable Lenders under the applicable Class in connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent;
(iv)    a minimum amount in respect of such Extension (to be determined in Borrower’s discretion and specified in the relevant Extension Offer, but in no event less than $25,000,000, unless another amount is agreed to by Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be satisfied; and
(v)    no Extension shall become effective unless, on the proposed effective date of such Extension, the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 shall be satisfied (with all references in such Section to a Credit Date being deemed to be references to the Extension on the applicable date of such Extension), and Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated the applicable date of such Extension and executed by an Authorized Officer of Borrower.

75

(d)    For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the provisions of Section 2.17 and Section 10.5 will not apply to Extensions of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, pursuant to Extension Offers made pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.25, including to any payment of interest or fees in respect of any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, that have been extended pursuant to an Extension at a rate or rates different from those paid or payable in respect of Loans of any other Class, in each case as is set forth in the relevant Extension Offer.
(e)    The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent to enter into amendments (collectively, “Extension Amendments”) to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary in order to establish new Classes of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, created pursuant to an Extension, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.25. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to seek the advice or concurrence of the Requisite Lenders with respect to any matter contemplated by this Section 2.25 and, if Administrative Agent seeks such advice or concurrence, Administrative Agent shall be permitted to enter into such amendments with Borrower in accordance with any instructions received from such Requisite Lenders and shall also be entitled to refrain from entering into such amendments with Borrower unless and until it shall have received such advice or concurrence; provided, however, that whether or not there has been a request by Administrative Agent for any such advice or concurrence, all such Extension Amendments entered into with Borrower by Administrative Agent hereunder shall be binding on the Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extension, (i) the appropriate Credit Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and Administrative Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage (or any other Credit Document that Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent reasonably requests to be amended to reflect an Extension) that has a maturity date prior to the latest Extended Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the then latest Extended Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to Administrative Agent) and (ii) Borrower shall deliver board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other customary documents as shall reasonably be requested by Administrative Agent in connection therewith and a legal opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent (i) as to the enforceability of such Extension Amendment, this Agreement as amended thereby, and such of the other Credit Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby and (ii) to the effect that such Extension Amendment, including without limitation, the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments provided for therein, does not conflict with or violate the terms and provisions of Section 10.5.
(f)    Promptly following the consummation and effectiveness of any Extension, Borrower will furnish to Administrative Agent (who shall promptly furnish to each Lender) written notice setting forth the Extended Maturity Date and material economic terms of the Extension and the aggregate principal amount of each Class of Loans and Commitments after giving effect to the Extension and attaching a copy of the fully executed Extension Amendment.

Each agreement listed in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence is in full force and effect and Borrower does not have knowledge of any default by any Credit Party or any other party to such agreements thereunder that is continuing and that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The properties (and interests in properties) owned or leased by the Credit Parties, taken as a whole, are sufficient, in the judgment of the Credit Parties, for conducting the businesses of the Credit Parties.

83

No event or condition has occurred or is occurring with respect to Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries relating to any Environmental Law, any Release of Hazardous Materials, or any Hazardous Materials Activity which individually or in the aggregate has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.
4.14    No Defaults. Neither Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any of its Contractual Obligations except to the extent that any such default could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, 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 Material Adverse Effect.

Neither Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or is a “registered investment company” or a company “controlled” by a “registered investment company” or a “principal underwriter” of a “registered investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

4.17    Employee Matters. Neither Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is engaged in any unfair labor practice that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.18    Employee Benefit Plans. Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries are in material compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, and have performed all their obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan in all material respects. Each Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has 

84

received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that such Employee Benefit Plan is so qualified and nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which would cause such Employee Benefit Plan to lose its qualified status. No liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the Internal Revenue Service, any Employee Benefit Plan or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur. Except to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code or similar state laws, no Employee Benefit Plan provides health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any retired or former employee of Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each Pension Plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (determined as of the end of the most recent plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in the most recent actuarial valuation for such Pension Plan), did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Pension Plan. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA is zero. Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan.

4.21    Compliance with Statutes, Etc.  Each of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all Governmental Authorities, in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property (including compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws with respect to any Real Estate Asset or governing its business and the requirements of any permits issued under such Environmental Laws with respect to any such Real Estate Asset or the operations of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and all Gaming Licenses), except such non‐compliance that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
4.22    Disclosure. No documents, certificates or other written statements furnished to any Agent or Lender by or on behalf of Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby contains (excluding information of a general economic or industry specific nature and all projections (including Projections), estimates and other forward-looking information is, when taken as a whole, complete and correct in all material respects and does not and will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not materially misleading.

85

financial projections are not a guarantee of financial performance and actual results may differ from financial projections and such differences may be material.

4.24    PATRIOT Act, OFAC, AML. To the extent applicable, the Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries is in compliance, in all material respects, with (i) the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 C.F.R., Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, (ii) the PATRIOT Act, (iii) the laws and regulations administrated by OFAC and (iv) any applicable law relating to money laundering (“Anti-Money Laundering Laws”). To the knowledge of the Borrower, none of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is owned or controlled by Persons that are: (i) the subject or target of any economic sanctions administered or enforced by the OFAC or the U.S. Department of State (collectively “Sanctions”), or (ii) located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is, or whose government is, the subject of Sanctions. The Borrower will not, directly or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, indirectly, use the proceeds of the Loans, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, Joint Venture partner or other Person, (A) to fund any activities or business of or with any Person, or in any country or territory, that, at the time of such funding, is, or whose government is, the subject or target of Sanctions, or (B) in any other manner that would result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the “FCPA”),

Section 5    AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
Each Credit Party covenants and agrees that, so long as any Commitment is in effect and until payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent obligations not yet due and payable) and cancellation or expiration of all Letters of Credit, each Credit Party shall perform, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to perform, all covenants in this Section 5.

The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence at the time of designation of any Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time.

No Credit Party shall nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to amend, modify, supplement or waive, or permit or consent to the amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of any Gaming License if such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver could reasonably be expected to materially impair or be materially adverse to the business, operations or value of the assets that the Credit Parties own, lease, license or operate or materially impair the rights of Collateral Agent or the Lenders with respect thereto or create obligations thereunder that conflict, or are otherwise inconsistent, with the terms and conditions of the Credit Documents and may jeopardize any Credit Party’s ability to comply with both the terms and conditions of any Gaming License, on the one hand, and the Credit Documents, on the other hand.

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”); provided that the Guaranteed Obligations shall exclude all Excluded Swap Obligations. With respect to any Guaranteed Obligations that are amounts owing to any Agent, Arranger, a Lender or an Affiliate of such Person under any Hedge Agreement, the Guaranteed Obligations shall exclude any Excluded Swap Obligations.
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 

108

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.
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:
(c)    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;
(d)    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;
(e)    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 

109

action is brought against Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not Borrower is joined in any such action or actions;
(f)    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;
(g)    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 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 any other Credit Party 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
(h)    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, 

110

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 Guarantor. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, 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 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 any Credit Party 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; (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, and (h) all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to borrowers and guarantors generally and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such rights or remedies, including, without limitation: any right provided by NRS § 40.430 and any judicial decisions relating thereto, and NRS §40.451. et seq. and any judicial decisions relating thereto, or any other statute or decision, to require the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties to proceed against Borrower or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held at any time or to pursue any other remedy in their power before proceeding against the Borrower.

111

7.6    Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc.  Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired, been cancelled or been Cash Collateralized, 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 Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired, been cancelled or been Cash Collateralized, 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, 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 Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired, been cancelled or been Cash Collateralized. 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 

112

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.
(g)    So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent acting pursuant to 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.
(h)    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.
(i)    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    Release of Guarantors. If (A)(i) all of the Equity Interests or (ii) all or substantially all of the property of any Guarantor are sold or otherwise transferred to a Person or Persons (other than any Guarantor) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof or (B) if a Guarantor is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 5.16 at a time when no Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing with respect to such Guarantor hereunder, then in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B), the Guaranty of such Guarantor, 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.

113

7.13    Keepwell.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Credit Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 7.13 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 7.13, or otherwise under this Guaranty, as it relates to such Credit Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 7.13 shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all Obligations and cancellation or expiration or Cash Collateralization of all Letters of Credit. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 7.13 constitute, and this Section 7.13 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
Section 8    EVENTS OF DEFAULT
8.1    Events of Default. If any one or more of the following conditions or events shall occur:
(d)    Failure to Make Payments When Due. Failure by Borrower to pay (i) when due any installment of principal of any Loan, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by notice of voluntary prepayment, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise; (ii) when due any amount payable to Issuing Bank in reimbursement of any drawing under a Letter of Credit or any Cash Collateralization required pursuant to Section 2.22(d); or (iii) any interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount due hereunder within three (3) days after the date due; or

(f)    Breach of Certain Covenants. Failure of any Credit Party to perform or comply with any term or condition contained in Section 2.6, Sections 5.1(a), 5.1(b), 5.1(c) and 5.1(d), Section 5.2 or Section 6; or
(g)    Breach of Representations, Etc. Any representation, warranty, certification or other statement made or deemed made by any Credit Party in any Credit Document or in any statement or certificate at any time given by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries in writing pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall be false in any material respect as of the date made or deemed made; or
(h)    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 paragraph of this Section 8.1, and such default shall not have been remedied 

114

116

Revolving Commitments and accelerated all Obligations in respect of the Revolving Loans, it being understood and agreed that the Requisite Revolving Lenders may, without the consent of the Requisite Lenders, terminate the Revolving Commitments and accelerate all obligations in respect of the Revolving Loans; provided, however, that the Requisite Lenders may not take such actions if the Financial Covenant Default has been waived by the Requisite Revolving Lenders or such Requisite Revolving Lenders have not actually terminated the Revolving Commitments or taken the actions specified in this Section 8.1 in respect of the Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Loans.
8.2    Borrower’s Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.1, for purposes of determining whether an Event of Default has occurred under the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.7, any equity contribution (in the form of common equity or other equity having terms reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent) made to Borrower after the last day of any Fiscal Quarter and on or prior to the day that is ten (10) days after the day on which financial statements are required to be delivered for that Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year (such period being the “Cure Period”) will, at the request of Borrower, be included in the calculation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA solely for the purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenant at the end of such Fiscal Quarter and any subsequent period that includes such Fiscal Quarter (any such equity contribution, a “Specified Equity Contribution”); provided that (a) Borrower shall not be permitted to so request that a Specified Equity Contribution be included in the calculation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA with respect to any Fiscal Quarter unless, after giving effect to such requested Specified Equity Contribution, there shall be no more than two Fiscal Quarters in the Relevant Four Fiscal Quarter Period in respect of which a Specified Equity Contribution is made, (b) no more than four (4) Specified Equity Contributions shall be made during the term of this Agreement, (c) the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution and the use of proceeds therefrom will be no greater than the amount required to cause Borrower to be in compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.7, and (d) all Specified Equity Contributions and the use of proceeds therefrom will be disregarded for all other purposes under the Credit Documents (including calculating Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of determining basket levels, Applicable Margin, Applicable Revolving Commitment Fee Percentage, and other items governed by reference to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, and for purposes of the Restricted Junior Payments covenant in Section 6.4). To the extent that the proceeds of the Specified Equity Contribution are used to repay Indebtedness, such Indebtedness shall not be deemed to have been repaid for purposes of calculating the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.7 for the Relevant Four Fiscal Quarter Period. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Relevant Four Fiscal Quarter Period” shall mean, with respect to any requested Specified Equity Contribution, the four Fiscal Quarter period ending on (and including) the Fiscal Quarter in which Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA will be increased as a result of such Specified Equity Contribution.
It is understood and agreed that, so long as Borrower has provided Administrative Agent with notice of the intention to solicit an Specified Equity Contribution, until the end of the Cure Period, none of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, any Lender, any other Secured Party, or any of their respective Affiliates shall exercise any remedy, pursuant to the terms of the Credit Documents, due to a Financial Covenant Default and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred under the Credit Documents; provided, however, during such period Borrower shall not be entitled to request and no Lender shall be obligated to make, any Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans).

Each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent (i) to take such action on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Credit Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto and (ii) to enter into any and all of the Collateral Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any intercreditor agreement contemplated by this Agreement) together with such other documents as shall be necessary to give effect to the ranking and priority of Indebtedness contemplated by any intercreditor agreement contemplated by this Agreement and any amendment to any of the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of any intercreditor agreement contemplated by this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a party thereto.

Each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Credit Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.5) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Requisite Lenders (or such 

118

other Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions, including for the avoidance of doubt refraining from any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for Borrower and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Credit Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.5).

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by Administrative Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of Credit Parties and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent, and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to Administrative Agent and not to any Credit Party, Lender or any other Person and no Credit Party, Lender or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent.
9.4    Agents Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans and the Letters of Credit, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity. Any Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Borrower or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

After any retiring or removed Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or the Collateral Documents while it was the Collateral Agent hereunder.

(c)    Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty. Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Credit Documents may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), Collateral Agent (or any Lender, except with respect to a “credit bid” pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code) may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, upon instructions from Requisite Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Collateral Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents.
(d)    Rights under Hedge Agreements. No Hedge Agreement will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Lender Counterparty that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Guarantor under the Credit Documents except as

(ii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Credit Document, when all Obligations (other than obligations in respect of any Hedge Agreement) have been paid in full, all Commitments have terminated or expired (other than contingent obligations not yet due and payable for which no claim has been asserted) and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (unless Cash Collateralized), upon request of Borrower, Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any Affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Hedge Agreement) take such actions as shall be requested by Borrower and reasonably determined by Borrower to be necessary or desirable to release (or document the release of) its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Credit Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Obligations in respect of Hedge Agreements. Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
(f)    The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.
(g)    Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by the Administrative Agent from any Credit Party, any Subsidiary, the Requisite Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Credit Document and (ii) as specifically requested from time to 

123

time in writing by any Lender with respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of the Administrative Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request.
9.9    Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law, Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding Tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document against any amount due Administrative Agent under this Section 9.9. The agreements in this Section 9.9 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
9.10    Administrative Agent May File Bankruptcy Disclosure and Proofs of Claim.
(a)    to file a verified statement pursuant to rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that, in its sole opinion, complies with such rule’s disclosure requirements for entities representing more than one creditor;
(b)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, Issuing Bank and Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due Administrative Agent under Sections 2.4, 2.11, 10.2 and 10.3 allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(c)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and Issuing Bank to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and Issuing Bank, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under Sections 2.11, 10.2 and 10.3. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under Sections 2.11, 10.2 and 10.3 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Lenders or Issuing Banks may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

124

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

(i)    Each Credit Party also agrees that no Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents will have any liability to any Credit Party or any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of any Credit Party or any other Person in connection with or as a result of this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, in each case, except in the case of any Credit Party to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by such Credit Party or its affiliates, shareholders, partners or other equity holders have been found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender, Agent, Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents in performing its obligations under this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein (it being understood and agreed that, solely for purposes of this clause (c), any Agent, Issuing Bank or Affiliate thereof, in each case that is providing services under the Credit Documents, in its capacity as such shall not be deemed to be an Affiliate of the Borrower); provided, however, that in no event will such Lender, Agent, Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents have any liability for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages in connection with or as a result of such Lender’s, Agent, Issuing Bank’s or their respective Affiliates’, directors’, employees’, attorneys’, agents’ or sub-agents’ activities related to this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein.
10.4    Set‐Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default each Lender and Issuing 

127

Bank is hereby authorized by each Credit Party at any time or from time to time without notice to any Credit Party or to any other Person (other than Administrative Agent), any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender or Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder, the Letters of Credit and participations therein and under the other Credit Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto, the Letters of Credit and participations therein or with any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not (a) such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any amounts in respect of the Letters of Credit or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 2 and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.17 and 2.22 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent, Issuing Banks, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section 10.4 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. Following such set-off, the Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, taking such action shall use reasonable efforts to provide written notice thereof to Borrower; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not impact the rights of setoff of the Lenders or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, or result in any liability to any such Lender or Issuing Bank. For the avoidance of doubt, no amounts set off with respect to any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor. 
10.5    Amendments and Waivers.
(d)    Affected Lenders’ Consent. Without the written consent of each Lender that would be directly affected thereby and of the Issuing Bank, as applicable, and with respect to Sections 10.5(b)(viii) and 10.5(b)(ix), the written consent of all Lenders, without limitation, no amendment, modification, termination, or consent shall be effective if the effect thereof would:

(ix)    release all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from the Guaranty except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents and except in connection with a “credit bid” undertaken by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Requisite Lenders pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code or other sale or disposition of assets in connection with an enforcement action with respect to the Collateral permitted pursuant to the Credit Documents (in which case only the consent of the Requisite Lenders will be needed for such release); or
(x)    consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under any Credit Document;
(1)    provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, all Lenders shall be deemed directly affected thereby with respect to any amendment described in clauses (vii), (viii), (ix) and (x).

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, (y) Issuing Bank shall continue to have all rights and obligations thereof with respect to such Letters of Credit until the cancellation or expiration of such Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder and (z) 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 Revolving 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 Revolving Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.
		
	(p)
	Participations.

(i)    Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than (i) Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates, (ii) a natural person or (iii) a Disqualified Institution) in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans or in any other Obligation. Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to this Section 10.6(g) shall, acting solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it records the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts of each participant’s participation interest with respect to the Term Loan (each, a “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that the relevant parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letters of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Unless otherwise required by the Internal Revenue Service, any disclosure required by the foregoing sentence shall be made by the relevant Lender directly and solely to the Internal Revenue Service. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of a participation with respect to the Term Loan for all purposes under this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
(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, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Revolving Commitment Termination Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post‐default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount 

133

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 or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from the Guaranty (in each case, 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 had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 10.6; provided, (x) a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.18(c), 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 (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (y) a participant that would be a Non‐US 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 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.
(q)    Assignments to Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.6 or any other provision of this Agreement, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its Closing Date Term Loan Commitment, Closing Date Term Loans, New Term Loan Commitment or New Term Loans owing to it to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on a non-pro rata basis (provided, however, that each assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any applicable Closing Date Term Loan or New Term Loan and any related Closing Date Term Loan Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments), subject to the following limitations:
(i)    Borrower may conduct one or more modified Dutch auctions (each, an “Auction”) to repurchase all or any portion of the Term Loans, provided that, (A) notice of the Auction shall be made to Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Term Loan Lenders) and (B) the Auction shall be conducted pursuant to reasonable and customary procedures as the Auction Manager may establish which are consistent with this Section 10.6(h) and the Auction procedures set forth on Exhibit M and are otherwise reasonably acceptable to Borrower, the Auction Manager, and Administrative Agent;
(ii)    With respect to all repurchases made by Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.6(h), (A) Borrower shall deliver to the Auction Manager a certificate of an Authorized Officer stating that (1) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such repurchase and (2) as of the launch date of the related Auction and the effective date of any Affiliate Assignment Agreement, it is not in possession of any information regarding Borrower, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates, or their assets, Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ ability to perform its Obligations or 

134

any other matter that may be material to a decision by any Lender to participate in any Auction or enter into any Affiliate Assignment Agreement that has not previously been disclosed to the Auction Manager, Administrative Agent and the Non-Public Lenders (taken into account all public information available about Borrower), (B) Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall not use the proceeds of any Revolving Loans to acquire such Term Loans and (C) the assigning Lender and Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Auction Manager an Affiliate Assignment Agreement; and
(iii)    Following repurchase pursuant to this Section 10.6(h), the Term Loans so repurchased shall, without further action by any Person, be deemed cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by Borrower (or its Subsidiaries, as applicable)), for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Credit Documents, including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (B) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or (C) the determination of Requisite Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, including calculation of Retained Excess Cash Flow, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document. In connection with any Term Loans repurchased and cancelled pursuant to this Section 10.6(h), Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any such cancellation.
(r)    Certain Other Assignments and Participations. In addition to any other assignment or participation permitted pursuant to this Section 10.6 any Lender may assign or pledge a security interest in 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.
(s)    Assignments to Sponsor Affiliated Lenders.
(a)    So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitment or Term Loans owing to it (provided, however, that each assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any applicable Term Loan and any related Term Loan Commitments) to any Sponsor Affiliated Lender on a non pro rata basis through (x) Auctions (provided that, (A) notice of the Auction shall be made to Administrative Agent (for distribution to Term Loan Lenders) and (B) the Auction shall be conducted pursuant to such procedures as the Auction Manager may establish which are consistent with the Auction procedures set forth on Exhibit M and are otherwise reasonably acceptable to Borrower, the Auction Manager and the Arrangers) or (y) open market purchases, in each case subject to the following additional limitations:
(i)    such Sponsor Affiliated Lender shall make a representation that, (x) in the case of an open market purchase, as of the date of any such purchase and the effective date of any Affiliate Assignment Agreement or (y) in the case of an Auction, as of the launch date of the related Auction and the effective date of any Affiliate Assignment Agreement, it is not making any representation as to whether it is in possession of any information regarding Borrower, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates, or their assets, Borrower’s ability to perform its Obligations or any other matter that may be material to a decision by any Lender to participate in any Auction, if applicable, or enter 

135

into any Affiliate Assignment Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby that has not previously been disclosed to the Auction Manager, the Arrangers and the Non-Public Lenders;
(ii)    the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans purchased by assignment pursuant to this Section 10.6(j)(a)(ii) and held at any one time by Sponsor Affiliated Lenders may not exceed 25% of the outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans; provided, however, that any Sponsor Affiliated Lender that qualifies as a Sponsor Affiliated Institutional Lender shall not be subject to the foregoing limitation;
(iii)    the assigning Lender and the Sponsor Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s Term Loans shall execute and deliver to the Auction Manager or Administrative Agent, as applicable, an Affiliate Assignment Agreement;
(iv)    each Sponsor Affiliated Lender, solely in its capacity as a Lender, hereby agrees, and each Affiliate Assignment Agreement shall provide, that such Sponsor Affiliated Lender shall have no right whatsoever so long as such Person is a Sponsor Affiliated Lender:
(1)    to vote with respect to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other such action with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Credit Document and that it shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Sponsor Affiliated Lenders; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) such assignee shall be permitted to vote if such amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other such action disproportionately affects such Sponsor Affiliated Lender in its capacity as a Lender as compared to other Lenders, (y) no amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action shall, without the consent of the Sponsor Affiliated Lender, deprive any Sponsor Affiliated Lender of its share of any payments which the Lenders are entitled to share on a pro rata basis hereunder and (z) such assignee shall be permitted to vote if such amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other such action would increase the commitment of the relevant Sponsor Affiliated Lender, extend or postpone the final maturity or scheduled date of amortization, reduce the principal, interest or fees or release all or substantially all the value of the Guaranties or to release liens on all or substantially all of the collateral; provided, further however, that any Sponsor Affiliated Lender that qualifies as a Sponsor Affiliated Institutional Lender shall not be subject to the foregoing limitation;
(2)    solely in its capacity as a Lender to attend (or receive any notice of) any meeting, conference call or correspondence with Administrative Agent or any Lender or receive any information from Administrative Agent or any other Lender (other than notices of borrowings, prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Section 2); provided, however, that any Sponsor Affiliated Lender that qualifies as a Sponsor Affiliated Institutional Lender shall not be subject to the foregoing limitation; or
(3)    to make or bring any claim, solely in its capacity as a Lender, against Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any Lender with respect to the duties and obligations of such Persons under the Credit Documents;
(4)    each Sponsor Affiliated Lender, solely in its capacity as a Lender, hereby further agrees, and each Affiliate Assignment Agreement shall provide a confirmation, if any Credit Party shall be subject to any voluntary or involuntary proceeding commenced under any Debtor Relief Law;

136

(5)    each Sponsor Affiliated Lender shall not take any step or action (whether directly or indirectly) in such proceeding to object to, impede, or delay the exercise of any right or the taking of any action by Administrative Agent (or the taking of any action by a third party that to which Administrative Agent has consented with respect to any disposition of assets by Borrower or any equity or debt financing to be made to Borrower), including, without limitation, the filing of any pleading by Administrative Agent) in (or with respect to any matters related to) the proceeding so long as Administrative Agent is not taking any action to treat such Sponsor Affiliated Lender’s Loans in a manner that is less favorable to such Sponsor Affiliated Lender in any material respect than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by other Lenders (including, without limitation, objecting to any debtor-in-possession financing, use of cash collateral, grant of adequate protection, sale or disposition, compromise or plan of reorganization);
(6)    the provisions set forth in this Section 10.6(j), and the related provisions set forth in each Affiliate Assignment Agreement, constitute (x) a “subordination agreement” as such term is contemplated by, and utilized in, Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, and, as such, would be enforceable for all purposes in any case where a Credit Party has filed for protection under any Debtor Relief Laws and affecting the rights of creditors generally applicable to such Credit Party and (y) an irrevocable voting proxy coupled with a pledge in favor of Administrative Agent with respect to voting obligations set forth in this Section 10.6(j), and the related provisions set forth in each Affiliate Assignment Agreement;
(7)    solely in its capacity as a Lender, each Sponsor Affiliated Lender shall support and shall not object to (x) any use of cash collateral (including, without limitation, any and all terms of any cash collateral order) and/or any debtor-in-possession financing (including, without limitation, any and all terms of any financing agreement, related documents and financing order) that is supported by or consented to by Administrative Agent and (y) any sale of any assets of the Credit Parties, whether under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, that is supported by or consented to by Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, the terms and conditions of any bidding procedures orders, sale orders and any and all purchase and sale agreements and related documents);
(8)    solely in its capacity as a Lender, each Sponsor Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have voted in such proceedings in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by those Lenders who are not Sponsor Affiliated Lenders, except to the extent that any plan under the Bankruptcy Code proposes to treat the Obligations held by such Sponsor Affiliated Lender in a manner that is less favorable to such Sponsor Affiliated Lender in any material respect than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by other Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, except to the extent that any plan under the Bankruptcy Code proposes to treat the Obligations held by a Sponsor Affiliated Lender in a manner that is less favorable to such Sponsor Affiliated Lender in any material respect than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by other Lenders, Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered (in the name of such Sponsor Affiliated Lender) to vote on behalf of such Sponsor Affiliated Lender or consent on behalf of such Sponsor Affiliated Lender in any such proceedings with respect to any and all claims of such Sponsor Affiliated Lender relating to the Obligations. Each Sponsor Affiliated Lender agrees and acknowledges that the foregoing constitutes an irrevocable proxy in favor of Administrative Agent to vote or consent on behalf of such Sponsor Affiliate Lender in any proceeding in the manner set forth above and that such Sponsor Affiliate Lender shall 

137

be irrevocably bound to any such votes made or consents given and further shall not challenge or otherwise object to such votes or consents and shall not itself vote or provide consents in the proceeding; and
(9)    solely in its capacity as a Lender, each Sponsor Affiliated Lender hereby expressly and irrevocably waives, for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders any principles or provisions of law (including as set forth in any Debtor Relief Law, statutory or otherwise) which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Agreement and any legal or equitable discharge of such Sponsor Affiliated Lender’s obligations hereunder.
(t)    Assignments by Sponsor Affiliated Lenders. In connection with any sale, assignment or transfer of Term Loans by a Sponsor Affiliated Lender:
(i)    such Sponsor Affiliated Lender shall make a representation that, as of the effective date of any such Affiliate Assignment Agreement, it is not in possession of any information regarding Borrower, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates, or their assets, Borrower’s ability to perform its Obligations or any other matter that may be material to a decision by any Lender to enter into any Affiliate Assignment Agreement that has not previously been disclosed to Administrative Agent and the Lenders; and
(ii)    the Sponsor Affiliated Lender selling Term Loans and such assignee shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Affiliate Assignment Agreement.
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, the cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, and the termination hereof.
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 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    Marshaling; 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, Issuing Bank or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders or Issuing 

138

Bank), or any Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender enforces any security interests or exercises any right 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 (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CLAIMS SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW OR TORT LAW ARISING OUT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, ANY DETERMINATIONS WITH RESPECT TO POST-JUDGMENT INTEREST AND ANY DEFICIENCY JUDGMENT) 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 THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
10.15    CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. SUBJECT TO CLAUSE (E) OF THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE, ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, SHALL BE BROUGHT IN ANY FEDERAL COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN OR, IF THAT COURT DOES NOT HAVE SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, IN ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HERETO, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (A) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS (OTHER THAN WITH RESPECT TO ACTIONS BY ANY AGENT IN RESPECT OF RIGHTS UNDER ANY SECURITY AGREEMENT GOVERNED BY LAWS OTHER THAN THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY COLLATERAL SUBJECT THERETO); (B) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY 

139

SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE PARTY HERETO 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 PARTY HERETO 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 PARTY HERETO IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS UNDER ANY SECURITY DOCUMENT OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT.
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.
10.17    Confidentiality. Each Agent and each Lender (which term shall for the purposes of this Section 10.17 include Issuing Bank) agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, partners, shareholders, members or other equity holders, agents, legal counsel, independent auditors and other experts and advisors (in each case, other than Disqualified Institutions) who are involved in the consideration of the Facilities (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential pursuant to the terms hereof), (ii) disclosures of such Information reasonably required by any 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 Borrower and its obligations, in each case other than Disqualified Institutions (provided, such assignees, transferees, participants, counterparties and advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by either the provisions of 

140

this Section 10.17 or other provisions at least as restrictive as this Section 10.17), (iii) disclosure to Moody’s and S&P in connection with obtaining ratings; provided that such Information is supplied to Moody’s and S&P after consultation with the Arrangers; provided, further, that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to Credit Parties received by it from any Agent or any Lender, (iv) disclosure on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans, (v) disclosures in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document, (vi) to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or compulsory legal process, after providing written notice to the Credit Parties, disclosures pursuant to a subpoena or order of a court of competent jurisdiction or by a judicial, administrative agency or legislative body or committee or in any pending legal or administrative proceeding or otherwise as required by applicable law (including, without limitation, the Gaming Laws) or compulsory legal process (in which case such Person agrees to inform Borrower promptly thereof to the extent not prohibited by law); provided that each other Credit Party consents to such, (vii) disclosures made upon the request or demand of any regulatory or quasi-regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or any of its Affiliates, (viii) disclosures of Information to the extent that such Information is publicly available or becomes publicly available other than by reason of improper disclosure by such Person, (ix) disclosures of Information received by such Person on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than any Credit Party or their respective affiliates, advisors, members, directors, officers, employees, agents or other representatives) not known by such Person to be prohibited from disclosing such Information to such Person by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation, (x) disclosures of Information to the extent that such Information was already in the respective Credit Party’s possession (other than as a result of the Credit Party being provided such information by or on behalf of the Borrower) or is independently developed by the respective Credit Party without the use of any confidential information or (xi) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense. 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. For the purposes of this Section 10.17, “Information” means all information received from Borrower relating to Borrower and its Subsidiaries, Affiliates and their businesses that is identified at the time of delivery as confidential, other than any such information that is publicly available to any Agent or any Lender prior to disclosure by Borrower.
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, 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.

141

10.19    Effectiveness; Counterparts. 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 notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof. 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. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic format (i.e., “pdf” or “tif” shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
10.20    Entire Agreement. With the exception of those terms contained in Sections 2, 3, 4 (including Annex A), 6, 7, 8 and 9 (other than any provision therein that expressly terminates upon execution of the Credit Documents) of the Engagement Letter, dated June 9, 2015, among Goldman Sachs, DBSI and Borrower (the “Engagement Letter”) (such terms, the “Surviving Terms”), which by the terms of the Engagement Letter remain in full force and effect all of Goldman Sachs’, DBSI’s and their respective Affiliates obligations under the Engagement Letter shall terminate and be superseded by the Credit Documents and Goldman Sachs, DBSI and their respective Affiliates shall be released from all liability in connection therewith, including any claim for injury or damages, whether consequential, special, direct, indirect, punitive or otherwise. Borrower hereby agrees that it shall continue to be bound by the Surviving Terms.
10.21    PATRIOT Act. Each Lender and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Credit Party in accordance with the PATRIOT 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.
10.23    No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Credit Parties, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Credit Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Credit Party, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Credit Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Credit Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Credit Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment

with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Credit Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Credit Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
10.24    Gaming Authorities. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents are subject to all applicable Gaming Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Agents and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that certain of their respective rights, remedies and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including the exercise of remedial rights upon Collateral and voting of Equity Interests in (or otherwise taking control of) Persons licensed by the Gaming Authorities and/or under Gaming Laws), may be exercised only to the extent that (i) the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable laws, rules and regulations of the Gaming Authorities, including Gaming Laws, and (ii) all necessary approvals, licenses and consents (including prior approvals) from the Gaming Authorities required in connection therewith are obtained. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Credit Parties expressly authorize Arranger, the Agents and the Lenders to cooperate with the Gaming Authorities. The parties acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 10.24 shall not be for the benefit of any Credit Party.
10.25    Certain Matters Affecting Lenders.
(a)    If any Gaming Authority shall determine that any Lender does not meet suitability standards prescribed under applicable Gaming Laws (a “Former Lender”), Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the duty) to cause such Former Lender (and such Former Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Term Loans and Revolving Loans (and such Former Lender’s Revolving Commitment) in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, a “Substitute Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 and the Former Lender shall pay any fees payable thereunder in connection with such assignment; provided (1) on the date of such assignment, the Substitute Lender shall pay to the Former 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 Former Lender together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (B) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Former Lender; (2) on the date of such assignment, Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Former Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(c), 2.19 or 2.20, or otherwise as if it were a prepayment, but excluding the repayment premiums specified in Section 2.13.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Former Lender, and if Administrative Agent fails to find a Substitute Lender pursuant to Section 10.25(a) within any time period specified by the appropriate Gaming Authority for the withdrawal of a Former Lender (the “Withdrawal Period”), Borrower shall have the right (but not the duty), subject to limitations imposed by the appropriate Gaming Authority, to prepay in full the outstanding amount of all Term Loans and Revolving Loans (and termination of such Revolving Commitments) of such Former Lender, together with all unpaid fees owing to such Former Lender and any amounts payable to such Former Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(c), 2.19 or 2.20 or otherwise as if it were a prepayment, but excluding the repayment premiums specified in this Agreement, and, in each case where applicable, with accrued interest thereon to the earlier of (x) the date of payment or (y) the last day of the applicable Withdrawal Period. Upon either transfer to a Substitute Lender or the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Former Lender, the termination of such Former Lender’s Term Loan and Revolving Loan and the termination of such Former Lender’s Revolving Commitment, if any (whether pursuant to Section 10.25(a) or this Section 10.25(b)), such Former Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Former Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Former Lender.
