Guarantee
SECTION 2.01.    The Guarantee.
(a)    Guarantee of Secured Obligations.  Subject to the limitations set forth in clauses (g) and (h) of this Section 2.01, Holdings unconditionally guarantees to the Agent, jointly and severally with the other Guarantors, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of the Secured Obligations (such guaranteed obligations of Holdings, the “Guaranteed Obligations”) for the benefit of the Secured Parties.  Holdings further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation. Holdings waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrower or any other Loan Party of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment.
(b)    Guarantee of Payment.  Holdings further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Agent or any other Secured Party to any security held for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Borrower or any other person.
(c)    No Limitations.  Except for termination or release of Holdings’ obligations hereunder as expressly provided for in Section 6.15 and subject to the limitations set forth in clauses (g) and (h) of this Section 2.01, the obligations of Holdings hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise (other than defense of payment or performance). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of Holdings hereunder, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any other agreement; (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the exchange, substitution, release or any impairment of, any security held by the Agent or any other Secured Party for the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations;  (v) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the payment in full in cash in immediately available funds of all the Guaranteed Obligations); (vi) any illegality, lack of validity or enforceability of any Guaranteed Obligation; (vii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any Guaranteed Obligation (other than the payment in full in cash in immediately available funds of all the Guaranteed Obligations); (viii) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights that Holdings may have at any time against the Borrower, the Agent, or any other corporation or person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions; provided, that nothing herein will prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim; and (ix) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Agent that might otherwise constitute a defense to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety (other than defense of payment or performance).
Holdings expressly authorizes the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of Holdings hereunder.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Holdings waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Guarantor or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Guarantor, other than the payment in full in cash in immediately available funds of all the Guaranteed Obligations. The Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any security held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or any other Loan Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Holdings hereunder, except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash in immediately available funds. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Holdings waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Holdings against any other Guarantor, as the case may be, or any security.
(d)    Reinstatement.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.15, Holdings agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
(e)    Agreement To Pay.  In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against Holdings by virtue hereof, but subject to the limitations set forth in clauses (g) and (h) of this Section 2.01, upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, Holdings hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Agent for distribution to the applicable Secured Party in cash in immediately available funds the amount of such unpaid Guaranteed Obligation. 
(f)    Information.  Holdings assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s and each other Loan Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that Holdings assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party will have any duty to advise Holdings of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.
(g)    Maximum Liability.  Holdings, and by its acceptance of this Agreement, the Agent and each Secured Party, hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such persons that this Agreement and the Guaranteed Obligations not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Agreement and the Guaranteed Obligations. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Agent, the Secured Parties and Holdings hereby irrevocably agree that the Guaranteed Obligations at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Guaranteed Obligations not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
(h)    Limited Recourse.  Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Other First Lien Agreement to the contrary, the Guaranteed Obligations are limited recourse obligations payable solely from the Pledged Collateral pledged by Holdings hereunder and, following realization of the Pledged Collateral pledged by Holdings (whether through sale, foreclosure or otherwise) and the application thereof in accordance with this Agreement, such Guaranteed Obligations shall be extinguished and shall not revive.
ARTICLE III     
 
Pledge of Equity Interests
SECTION 3.01.    Pledge.  As security for the payment or performance, as the case may be, in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, Holdings hereby assigns and pledges to the Agent, its successors and permitted assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the Agent, its successors and permitted assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in all of Holdings’ right, title and interest in, to and under:

(b)    subject to Section 3.08, all payments of principal or interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, in exchange for or upon the conversion of, and all other Proceeds received in respect of, the Pledged Borrower Stock; 
(c)    subject to Section 3.08, all rights and privileges of Holdings with respect to the Pledged Borrower Stock and other property referred to in clause (b) above; and

SECTION 3.02.    Delivery of Pledged Collateral.
(a)    Holdings agrees promptly to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, any and all Pledged Securities.
(b)    Upon delivery to the Agent (i) any Pledged Securities required to be delivered pursuant to the foregoing paragraph (a) of this Section 3.02 shall be accompanied by stock powers, duly executed in blank or other instruments of transfer reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and by such other instruments and documents as the Agent may reasonably request and (ii) all other property comprising part of the Pledged Collateral delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be accompanied to the extent necessary to perfect the security interest in or allow realization on the Pledged Collateral by proper instruments of assignment duly executed by Holdings and such other instruments or documents as the Agent may reasonably request. Each delivery of Pledged Securities shall be accompanied by a schedule describing the securities, which schedule shall be attached hereto as Schedule I (or a supplement to Schedule I, as applicable) and made a part hereof; provided, that failure to attach any such schedule hereto shall not affect the validity of such pledge of such Pledged Collateral. Each schedule so delivered shall be deemed to supplement any prior schedules so delivered.
SECTION 3.03.    Representations and Warranties.  Holdings represents and warrants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties:

(e)    Holdings has the power and authority to pledge the Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder in the manner hereby done or contemplated;
(f)    other than as set forth in the Credit Agreement or the schedules thereto or in the other Loan Documents, as of the Closing Date, no consent or approval of any Governmental Authority, any securities exchange or any other person was or is necessary to the validity of the pledge effected hereby (other than such as have been obtained and are in full force and effect);
(g)    by virtue of the execution and delivery by Holdings of this Agreement, when the Pledged Securities are delivered to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in accordance with this Agreement, and a Uniform Commercial Code financing statement naming the Agent as the secured party and covering the Pledged Collateral is filed in the appropriate filing office, the Agent will obtain, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and perfected lien upon and security interest in such Pledged Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens, as security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, to the extent such perfection is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code.

(b)    Holdings agrees it will make no assignment, pledge, hypothecation or transfer of, or create or permit to exist any security interest in or other Lien on, the Pledged Collateral, and will not Dispose of any other Pledged Collateral, in each case other than pursuant to a transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document and any Other First Lien Agreement then in effect and other than Permitted Liens.
(c)    Subject to the rights of Holdings under the Loan Documents and each Other First Lien Agreement then in effect to Dispose of Pledged Collateral, Holdings shall, at its own expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to defend its title to the Pledged Collateral against all persons and to defend the security interest of the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Pledged Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien that is not a Permitted Lien.

Holdings hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements with respect to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto that contain the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment, including (i) if required, whether Holdings is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to Holdings to the extent required and (ii) a description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Agent may reasonably determine is necessary or advisable to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Pledged Collateral.

(i)    Holdings shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and each Other First Lien Agreement then in effect; provided that, except as not prohibited by the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Documents and each Other First Lien Agreement then in effect, such rights and powers shall not be exercised in any manner that could be reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the rights and remedies of the Agent or any other Secured Party under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Documents or any Other First Lien Agreement or the ability of the Secured Parties to exercise the same.
(ii)    The Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to Holdings, or cause to be executed and delivered to Holdings, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as Holdings may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling Holdings to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to subparagraph (i) above.
(iii)    Holdings shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are not prohibited by, and otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Documents and each Other First Lien Agreement then in effect and applicable laws; provided that any noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Borrower Stock, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the Borrower, received in exchange for Pledged Borrower Stock or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which the Borrower may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by Holdings, shall be promptly delivered to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the same form as so received (endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Agent). 
(b)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon written notice by the Agent to Holdings of the Agent’s intention to exercise its rights hereunder, all rights of Holdings to receive dividends, interest, principal or other distributions with respect to the Pledged Securities that Holdings is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 3.08 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions; provided that, notwithstanding the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Holdings may continue to receive dividends and distributions made pursuant to subclause (i), subclause (iii),  subclause (v) and subclause (vi) of Section 6.06(b) of the Credit Agreement.  All dividends, interest, principal or other distributions received by Holdings contrary to the provisions of this Section 3.08 shall not be commingled by Holdings with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the same form as so received (endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Agent).  Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be retained by the Agent in an account to be established by the Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.02.  After all Events of Default have been cured or waived and the Borrower has delivered to the Agent a certificate to that effect, the Agent shall promptly repay to Holdings (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that Holdings would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 3.08 and that remain in such account.
(c)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after written notice by the Agent to Holdings of the Agent’s intention to exercise its rights hereunder, all rights of Holdings to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 3.08, and the obligations of the Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 3.08, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided that the Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit Holdings to exercise such rights.  After all Events of Default have been cured or waived and the Borrower has delivered to the Agent a certificate to that effect, all rights of Holdings to exercise the voting and/or other consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 3.08 shall continue and all such rights shall no longer be vested in the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and the obligations of the Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 3.08 shall be reinstated.
(d)    Any notice given by the Agent to Holdings suspending Holdings’ rights under paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 3.08 may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing and such notice may suspend the rights of Holdings under paragraph (a)(i) or paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 3.08 in part without suspending all such rights (as specified by the Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) and without waiving or otherwise affecting the Agent’s rights to give additional notices from time to time suspending other rights so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
SECTION 3.09.    Powers Coupled with an Interest.  All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Pledged Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.

Remedies
SECTION 5.01.    Remedies Upon Default.  In accordance with, and to the extent consistent with, the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement and applicable Requirements of Law, the Agent may take any action specified in this Section 5.01.  If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or applicable law.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon Holdings, the Borrower, or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign, give option or options to purchase or otherwise Dispose of and deliver the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, in the over-the-counter market, at any exchange or broker’s board or office of the Agent or any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.  To the extent prior notice is required under applicable law, the Agent shall give Holdings 10 Business Days’ written notice (which Holdings agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9‐611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Agent’s intention to make any Disposition of Pledged Collateral.  Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale, in the case of a private sale, shall state the time after which the sale is to be made and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Pledged Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange.  Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale.  At any such sale, the Pledged Collateral, or the portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine.  The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Pledged Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Pledged Collateral shall have been given.  The Agent or any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Holdings, which right or equity is hereby waived or released.  As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.  Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.
SECTION 5.02.    Application of Proceeds.  The Agent shall, subject to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, promptly apply the proceeds, moneys or balances of any collection or sale of Pledged Collateral realized through the exercise by the Agent of its remedies hereunder, as well as any Pledged Collateral consisting of cash at any time when remedies are being exercised hereunder, as follows:
FIRST, to the payment of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Other First Lien Agreement or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any Other First Lien Agreement on behalf of Holdings, any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any Other First Lien Agreement, and other fees, indemnities and other amounts owing or reimbursable to the Agent under any Loan Document or any Other First Lien Agreement in its capacity as such;
SECOND, to the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations secured by such Pledged Collateral (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Series of Secured Obligations pro rata based on the respective amounts of such Secured Obligations owed to the applicable Secured Parties in respect of each Series on the date of any such distribution (or in accordance with such other method of distribution as may be set forth in any applicable Intercreditor Agreement), with (x) the portion thereof distributed to the Credit Agreement Secured Parties to be further distributed in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement and (y) the portion thereof distributed to the Secured Parties of any other Series to be further distributed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Other First Lien Agreements governing such Series); and
THIRD, to Holdings, its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct;
provided, that in no event shall the proceeds of any collection or sale of any Specified Excluded Collateral be applied to the relevant Series of Other First Lien Obligations that is not secured by such Specified Excluded Collateral.
The Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement.  Upon the request of the Agent prior to any distribution under this Section 5.02, each Authorized Representative shall provide to the Agent certificates, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, setting forth the respective amounts referred to in this Section 5.02 that each applicable Secured Party or its Authorized Representative believes it is entitled to receive, and the Agent shall be fully entitled to rely on such certificates.  Upon any sale of Pledged Collateral by the Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money by the Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Pledged Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.
SECTION 5.03.    Securities Act, Etc.  In view of the position of Holdings in relation to the Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act, or any similar federal statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the “Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any Disposition of the Pledged Collateral permitted hereunder.  Holdings understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Agent if the Agent were to attempt to Dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could Dispose of the same.  Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Agent in any attempt to Dispose of all or part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect.  Holdings acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Agent, subject to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, in its sole and absolute discretion, (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws or, to the extent applicable, Blue Sky or other state securities laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale.  Holdings acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions.  In the event of any such sale, the Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that the Agent, subject to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached.  The provisions of this Section 5.03 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Agent sells.

Miscellaneous
SECTION 6.01.    Notices.  All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement (whether or not then in effect), and all notices to any holder of obligations under any Other First Lien Agreement shall be given at its address set forth in the Other First Lien Secured Party Consent or in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement (upon and during the effectiveness thereof), in each case of the foregoing, as such address may be changed by written notice to the Agent and Holdings.  
SECTION 6.02.    Security Interest Absolute.  To the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to clauses (g) and (h) of Section 2.01, all rights of the Agent hereunder, the security interest in the Pledged Collateral and all obligations of Holdings hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, any other agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Holdings in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement (other than a defense of payment or performance).
SECTION 6.03.    Limitation by Law.  All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable Requirement of Law, and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable Requirements of Law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law.
SECTION 6.04.    Binding Effect; Several Agreement.  This Agreement shall become effective as to any party to this Agreement when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such party shall have been delivered to the Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such party and the Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such party, the Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, except that no party shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Pledged Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as not prohibited by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement or any Other First Lien Agreement.  This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each party and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released in accordance with Section 6.09 or 6.15, as applicable.
SECTION 6.05.    Successors and Assigns.  Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of Holdings or the Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective permitted successors and assigns.  
SECTION 6.06.    Agent’s Fees and Expenses.
(a)    The parties hereto agree that the Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder by Holdings, and the Agent and other Indemnitees shall be indemnified by Holdings, in each case of this clause (a), mutatis mutandis, as provided in Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement and the equivalent provision of any Other First Lien Agreement.
(b)    Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents.  The provisions of this Section 6.06 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Other First Lien Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Secured Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Other First Lien Agreement, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent or any other Secured Party.  All amounts due under this Section 6.06 shall be payable within fifteen days (or such longer period as the Agent may agree in its sole and absolute discretion) of written demand therefor, accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.
(c)    The agreements in this Section 6.06 shall survive the resignation of the Agent and the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 6.07.    Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.  Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, Holdings hereby appoints the Agent the attorney-in-fact of Holdings for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, taking any action and executing any instrument that the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to any applicable Requirements of Law and any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, the Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution either in the Agent’s name or in the name of Holdings, (a) to receive, endorse, assign or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Pledged Collateral; (c) to ask for, demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all moneys due or to become due under and by virtue of any Pledged Collateral; (d) to sign the name of Holdings on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Pledged Collateral; (e) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Pledged Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Pledged Collateral; (f) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Pledged Collateral; and (g) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Pledged Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Agent were the absolute owner of the Pledged Collateral for all purposes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby.  The Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Holdings for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own or their Related Parties’ gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.  For the avoidance of doubt, Section 4.03 of any First Lien Intercreditor Agreement entered into after the Closing Date in the form exhibited to the Credit Agreement (or the equivalent provision of any other First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) shall apply to the Agent as agent for the Secured Parties hereunder.
SECTION 6.08.    GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY PRINCIPLE OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THAT COULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF ANY OTHER LAW.
SECTION 6.09.    Waivers; Amendment; Extension of Time.
(a)    No failure or delay by the Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Secured Party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any Other First Lien Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or remedy, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  The rights, powers and remedies of the Agent (on behalf of any Issuing Bank, the Lenders or any other Secured Party) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and any Other First Lien Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by Holdings therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 6.09, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan, the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the incurrence of any Other First Lien Obligations shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.  No notice or demand on Holdings in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b)    Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Agent and Holdings, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement and any equivalent provision in each applicable Other First Lien Agreement and, by each other Authorized Representative to the extent required by (and in accordance with) such applicable Other First Lien Agreement, or, in each case, as otherwise provided in any applicable Intercreditor Agreement.  The Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate of an officer of the Borrower as to whether any amendment contemplated by this Section 6.09(b) is permitted.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Agent may grant extensions of time or waivers of the requirement for the creation or perfection of security interests in or the obtaining of insurance (including title insurance) or surveys with respect to particular assets (including extensions beyond the date hereof for the perfection of security interests in the assets of Holdings on such date) where it reasonably determines, in consultation with the Borrower, that perfection or obtaining of such items cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required by this Agreement, any other Loan Documents or any Other First Lien Agreement.
SECTION 6.10.    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 6.10.
SECTION 6.11.    Severability.  In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.  The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 6.12.    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 6.04.  Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.
SECTION 6.13.    Headings.  Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 6.14.    Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a)    Subject to the final sentence of this clause (a), each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any other party or any affiliate thereof in any way relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Other First Lien Agreement or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Other First Lien Agreement shall affect any right that the Agent or any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Other First Lien Agreement against Holdings or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b)    Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Other First Lien Agreement in any New York State or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c)    Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 6.01.  Nothing in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Other First Lien Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 6.15.    Termination or Release.
(a)    This Agreement, the pledges and guarantees made herein, the Liens in the Pledged Collateral created hereby and all other security interests granted hereby, shall automatically terminate and/or be released (i) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date or, if any Other First Lien Obligations secured by the Lien granted hereby are outstanding on the Termination Date, the date after the Termination Date when all such Other First Lien Obligations (other than contingent or unliquidated obligations or liabilities not then due and any other obligations that, by the terms of any Other First Lien Agreements, are not required to be paid in full prior to termination and release of the Pledged Collateral) have been paid in full and the Secured Parties have no further commitment to extend credit under any such Other First Lien Agreement, or (ii) otherwise in accordance with Section 9.18 of the Credit Agreement and the equivalent provision of any applicable Other First Lien Agreement.
(b)    The security interest in the Pledged Collateral shall be automatically released, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, (i) upon any sale or other transfer by Holdings of any Pledged Collateral that is permitted by the Credit Agreement and each Other First Lien Agreement then in effect to any person that is not Holdings or a Pledgor (as defined in the Collateral Agreement), (ii) upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement and any equivalent provision of each applicable Other First Lien Agreement (in each case, to the extent required thereby), or (iii) as otherwise may be provided in any applicable Intercreditor Agreement.
(c)    In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 6.15, the Agent shall execute and deliver to Holdings all documents that Holdings shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release (including Uniform Commercial Code termination statements), and will duly assign and transfer to Holdings, such of the Pledged Collateral that may be in the possession of the Agent and has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Agreement.  Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 6.15 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Agent.  In connection with any release pursuant to this Section 6.15, Holdings shall be permitted to take any action in connection therewith consistent with such release including, without limitation, the filing of Uniform Commercial Code termination statements.  Upon the receipt of any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 6.15, the Agent shall promptly execute, deliver or acknowledge such instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Pledged Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Agreement.  Holdings agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent (and its representatives and counsel) in connection with the execution and delivery of such release documents or instruments.
SECTION 6.16.    Subject to Any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Liens and security interests granted to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement are expressly subject to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement to the extent provided therein and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the Agent hereunder or the application of proceeds (including insurance and condemnation proceeds) of any Pledged Collateral are subject to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement to the extent provided therein.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of such applicable Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of such applicable Intercreditor Agreement shall govern. 
SECTION 6.17.    Other First Lien Obligations.  
(a)    On or after the Closing Date and so long as not prohibited by the Credit Agreement or any Other First Lien Agreement then in effect, the Borrower may from time to time designate obligations in respect of indebtedness to be secured (except with respect to any applicable Specified Excluded Collateral) on a pari passu basis with the then outstanding Secured Obligations as Other First Lien Obligations hereunder by delivering to the Agent and each Authorized Representative (a) a certificate of the Borrower (i) identifying the obligations so designated and the initial aggregate principal amount or face amount thereof, (ii) stating that such obligations are designated as Other First Lien Obligations for purposes hereof, (iii) representing that such designation of such obligations as Other First Lien Obligations is not prohibited by the Credit Agreement or any Other First Lien Agreement then in effect and (iv) specifying the name and address of the Authorized Representative for such obligations, (b) an Other First Lien Secured Party Consent executed by the Authorized Representative for such obligations and the Borrower and (c) if not already then in effect, execute and deliver a First Lien Intercreditor Agreement (or a joinder thereto in the form (and to the extent, if any) required thereby to the extent such First Lien Intercreditor Agreement is then in effect). Upon the satisfaction of all conditions set forth in the preceding sentence, (x) the Agent shall act as collateral agent under and subject to the terms of the Security Documents for the benefit of all Secured Parties, including without limitation, any Secured Parties that hold any such Other First Lien Obligations (except with respect to any applicable Specified Excluded Collateral), and shall execute and deliver the acknowledgment at the end of the Other First Lien Secured Party Consent, and (y) each Authorized Representative agrees to the appointment, and acceptance of the appointment, of the Agent as collateral agent for the holders of such Other First Lien Obligations as set forth in each Other First Lien Secured Party Consent and agrees, on behalf of itself and each Secured Party it represents, to be bound by this Agreement and each applicable Intercreditor Agreement and (z) such Other First Lien Obligations shall automatically be deemed to be “Other First-Priority Obligations” (or analogous term) in each Intercreditor Agreement.  The rights and obligations of each party to this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Secured Obligations to this Agreement.
(b)    In the event any Other First Lien Obligations are designated hereunder pursuant to this Section 6.17, the Credit Agreement Agent shall be entitled to act hereunder pursuant to instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative (as defined in and subject to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) and the Agent shall be entitled to all the benefits, indemnities and exculpatory provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement afforded to the “Collateral Agent” (including Article III and Article IV of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) as if the Agent were named as Collateral Agent under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement.
SECTION 6.18.    Person Serving as Agent.  On the Closing Date, the Agent hereunder is the Credit Agreement Agent.  Written notice of resignation by the Credit Agreement Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement shall also constitute notice of resignation as the Agent under this Agreement.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent under (and as defined in) the Credit Agreement by a successor, that successor shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent pursuant hereto.  Immediately upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, if any other Series of Secured Obligations is then outstanding, the Authorized Representative of such Series (or, if more than one such Series is outstanding, the applicable Authorized Representative determined pursuant to the terms of (and as defined in) the applicable Intercreditor Agreement) shall be deemed the Agent for all purposes under this Agreement.  The Agent immediately prior to any change in Agent pursuant to this Section 6.18 (the “Prior Agent”) shall be deemed to have assigned all of its rights, powers and duties hereunder to the successor Agent determined in accordance with this Section 6.18 (the “Successor Agent”) and the Successor Agent shall be deemed to have accepted, assumed and succeeded to such rights, powers and duties.  The Prior Agent shall cooperate with Holdings and such Successor Agent to ensure that all actions are taken that are necessary or reasonably requested by the Successor Agent to vest in such Successor Agent the rights granted to the Prior Agent hereunder with respect to the Pledged Collateral, including (a) the filing of amended financing statements in the appropriate filing offices, (b) to the extent that the Prior Agent holds, or a third party holds on its behalf, physical possession of or “control” (as defined in the New York UCC or the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction) over Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or any other Security Document, the delivery to the Successor Agent of the Pledged Collateral in its possession or control together with any necessary endorsements to the extent required by this Agreement; provided, however, the foregoing shall not impose any requirement for control not otherwise expressly set forth herein and (c) the execution and delivery of any further documents, financing statements or agreements and the taking of all such further action that may be required under any applicable law, or that the Successor Agent may reasonably request, all without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Agent, and at the sole cost and expense of Holdings. The Agent hereunder shall at all times be the same person that is the “Collateral Agent” under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.  Written notice of resignation by the “Collateral Agent” pursuant to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall also constitute notice of resignation as the Agent under this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the “Collateral Agent” under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement by a successor “Collateral Agent”, that successor “Collateral Agent” shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent pursuant hereto.
SECTION 6.19.    General Authority of the Agent.
(a)    By acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and any other Security Documents, each Secured Party (whether or not a signatory hereto) shall be deemed irrevocably (i) to consent to the appointment of the Agent as its agent hereunder and under such other Security Documents, (ii) to confirm that the Agent shall have the authority to act as the exclusive agent of such Secured Party for the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement and such other Security Documents against Holdings, the exercise of remedies hereunder or thereunder and the giving or withholding of any consent or approval hereunder thereunder relating to any Pledged Collateral or Holdings’ obligations with respect thereto, (iii) to agree that it shall not take any action to enforce any provisions of this Agreement or any other Security Document against Holdings, to exercise any remedy hereunder or thereunder or to give any consents or approvals hereunder or thereunder except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Security Document and (iv) to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, any other Security Documents and any Intercreditor Agreement then in effect.
(b)    Holdings acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement, any Other First Lien Agreement and such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Agent and Holdings, the Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the applicable Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and Holdings shall not be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

This SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE AGREEMENT (FIRST LIEN), dated as of August 30, 2019 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Guaranty”), by and among each Subsidiary listed on the signature page hereof and each other Subsidiary that becomes a party hereto after the date hereof (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and CREDIT SUISSE AG, CAYMAN ISLANDS BRANCH, as administrative agent (in such capacity, together with any successors and permitted assigns thereto, the “Administrative Agent”) for the Secured Parties.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Queso Holdings Inc. a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, “Holdings”), CEC Entertainment, Inc., a Kansas corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Borrower”), the Lenders party thereto from time to time and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as Administrative Agent, have entered into that certain First Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “First Lien Credit Agreement”), providing for the extension of credit to the Borrower;
WHEREAS, it is a condition to the extension of credit to the Borrower under the First Lien Credit Agreement that each Subsidiary Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty to guarantee the Obligations; and
WHEREAS, each Subsidiary Guarantor will obtain benefits from the extension of credit to the Borrower, and accordingly desires to execute this Guaranty in order to satisfy the conditions described in the preceding paragraph and to induce the Lenders to extend credit to the Borrower. 
Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

1.DEFINITIONS
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the First Lien Credit Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.  References to this “Guaranty” shall mean this Guaranty, including all amendments, modifications and supplements and any annexes, exhibits and schedules to any of the foregoing, and shall refer to this Guaranty as the same may be in effect at the time such reference becomes operative. The rules of construction specified in Section 1.02 of the First Lien Credit Agreement also apply to this Guaranty.

2.    THE GUARANTY
(a)    Guaranty of Guaranteed Obligations.  Subject to the limitations set forth in clause (g) of this Section 2, each Subsidiary Guarantor unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent, jointly and severally with the other Subsidiary Guarantors, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations (the “Guaranteed Obligations”) for the benefit of the Secured Parties.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrower or any other Loan Party of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment.
(b)    Guaranty of Payment.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to any security held for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Borrower or any other person.
(c)    No Limitations.  Except for termination or release of a Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided for in Section 5(g), and subject to the limitations set forth in clause (g) of this Section 2, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise (other than defense of payment or performance).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by:  (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty; (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the exchange, substitution, release or any impairment of, any security held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of any Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the payment in full in cash in immediately available funds of all the Guaranteed Obligations); (vi) any illegality, lack of validity or enforceability of any Guaranteed Obligation; (vii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any Guaranteed Obligation (other than the payment in full in cash in immediately available funds of all the Guaranteed Obligations); (viii) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights that such Subsidiary Guarantor may have at any time against the Borrower, any Agent, or any other corporation or person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions; provided that nothing herein will prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim; and (ix) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Agent that might otherwise constitute a defense to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety (other than defense of payment or performance).  Each Subsidiary Guarantor expressly authorizes the Secured Parties (or the Agents on behalf of the Secured Parties) to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Subsidiary Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Subsidiary Guarantor or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Subsidiary Guarantor, other than the payment in full in cash in immediately available funds of all the Guaranteed Obligations.  The Agents and the other Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or any other Loan Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash in immediately available funds.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Subsidiary Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Subsidiary Guarantor against any other Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, or any security.
(d)    Reinstatement.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5(g)(i), each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
(e)    Agreement To Pay; Subrogation.  In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, but subject to the limitations set forth in clause (g) of this Section 2, upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the applicable Secured Party in cash in immediately available funds the amount of such unpaid Guaranteed Obligation.  Upon payment by any Subsidiary Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent as provided above, all rights of such Subsidiary Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Section 6.
(f)    Information.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s and each other Loan Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Subsidiary Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party will have any duty to advise such Subsidiary Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.
(g)    Maximum Liability.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such persons that this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.  To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Guaranteed Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

3.    FURTHER ASSURANCES
Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, from time to time, any additional instruments or documents reasonably considered necessary by the Administrative Agent to cause this Guaranty to be, become or remain valid and effective in accordance with its terms.

4.    PAYMENTS FREE AND CLEAR OF TAXES
Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it will perform or observe all of the terms, covenants and agreements that Section 2.17 of the First Lien Credit Agreement requires such Subsidiary Guarantor to perform or observe, subject to the qualifications set forth therein.

5.    OTHER TERMS
(a)    Entire Agreement.  This Guaranty, together with the other Loan Documents, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements relating to a guaranty of the Loans and other extensions of credit under the Loan Documents.
(b)    Headings.  The headings in this Guaranty are for convenience of reference only and are not part of the substance of this Guaranty.
(c)    Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in such a manner to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
(d)    Notices.  All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be given as provided in Section 9.01 of the First Lien Credit Agreement.
(e)    Successors and Assigns.  Whenever in this Guaranty any Subsidiary Guarantor is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party (in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement); and all covenants, promises and agreements by any Subsidiary Guarantor that are contained in this Guaranty shall bind and inure to the benefit of its respective permitted successors and assigns.
(f)    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Amendments.  No failure or delay by any Agent in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  The rights, powers and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies that it would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of this Guaranty or consent to any departure by any Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by this Section 5(f), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of any Loan or the issuance of any Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.  No notice or demand on any Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall entitle any Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.  When making any demand hereunder against any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or guarantor, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand or to collect any payments from the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or guarantor or any release of the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or guarantor shall not relieve any of the Subsidiary Guarantors in respect of which a demand or collection is not made or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors not so released of their several obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party against any of the Subsidiary Guarantors.  For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.  Neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified (other than termination or release of this Guaranty pursuant to Section 5(g)) except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Subsidiary Guarantor or Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.08 of the First Lien Credit Agreement. 
(g)    Termination and Release.  
(i)    This Guaranty shall automatically terminate on the Termination Date. 
(ii)    A Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder in accordance with Section 9.18 of the First Lien Credit Agreement.
(iii)    In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 5(g), the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to the Borrower all documents that the Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release.  Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 5(g) shall be made without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.  The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the execution and delivery of such documents.
(h)    Counterparts.  This Guaranty may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract.  Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Guaranty by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.

6.    INDEMNITY; SUBROGATION AND SUBORDINATION
(a)    Indemnity and Subrogation.  In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Subsidiary Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 6(c)), the Borrower agrees that (i) in the event a payment shall be made by any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation of the Borrower, the Borrower shall indemnify such Subsidiary Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (ii) in the event any assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to any Security Document to satisfy in whole or in part a Guaranteed Obligation of the Borrower, the Borrower shall indemnify such Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.
(b)    Contribution and Subrogation.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor (a “Contributing Guarantor”) agrees (subject to Section 6(c)) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation or assets of any other Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to any Security Document to satisfy any Guaranteed Obligation owed to any Secured Party and such other Subsidiary Guarantor (the “Claiming Guarantor”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the Borrower as provided in Section 6(a) hereof, the Contributing Guarantor shall indemnify the Claiming Guarantor in an amount equal to the amount of such payment or the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, as applicable, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of such Contributing Guarantor on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Subsidiary Guarantors on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Subsidiary Guarantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 5.10 of the First Lien Credit Agreement, the date of the supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Subsidiary Guarantor).  Any Contributing Guarantor making any payment to a Claiming Guarantor pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Guarantor under Section 6(a) hereof to the extent of such payment.  The provisions of this Section 6(b) shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.
(c)    Subordination.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, all rights of the Subsidiary Guarantors under Sections 6(a) and 6(b) and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation of any Subsidiary Guarantor under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations until the occurrence of the Termination Date.  Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder or any set-off or appropriation or application of funds of any of the Subsidiary Guarantors by any Secured Party, no Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party against the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of set-off held by any Secured Party for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations until the Termination Date shall have occurred, nor shall any Subsidiary Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder until the Termination Date shall have occurred.  If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the Termination Date of the Guaranteed Obligations, such amount shall be held by such Subsidiary Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Subsidiary Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Subsidiary Guarantor, be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement.  No failure on the part of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to make the payments required by Sections 6(a) and 6(b) (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower with respect to the Obligations or any Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower shall remain liable for the full amount of the Obligations and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

THIS GUARANTY AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY PRINCIPLE OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THAT COULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF ANY OTHER LAW.

8.    JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS
(a)    Each Subsidiary Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Agent, any Secured Party, or any Affiliate of the foregoing, in any way relating to this Guaranty or the transactions relating hereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Guaranty shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty against any Subsidiary Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b)    Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty in any New York State or federal court.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c)    Each party to this Guaranty irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 5(d).  Nothing in this Guaranty will affect the right of any party to this Guaranty to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

9.    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS GUARANTY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.RIGHT OF SET-OFF
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of any Subsidiary Guarantor against any of and all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty owed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Guaranty and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided, however, that any Defaulting Lender’s set-off right hereunder shall be subject to Section 9.06 of the First Lien Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender, no Issuing Bank nor or any of its respective Affiliates shall have a right to set off and apply any deposits held by, or other Indebtedness owing by, such Lender, such Issuing Bank or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any subsidiary of a Loan Party that (i) is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code or (ii) is a subsidiary of a person described in clause (i), unless (in either case) such subsidiary is not a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Borrower.  Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender or such Issuing Bank; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application.  The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank under this Section 10 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set off) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank may have.

10.    ADDITIONAL SUBSIDIARIES
Upon execution and delivery by any Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to become a party hereto by Section 5.10 of the First Lien Credit Agreement (or that is referred to in clause (b) of the definition of Subsidiary Loan Party) of an instrument substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (or another instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower), such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Guarantor herein.  The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party to this Guaranty.  The rights and obligations of each party to this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new party to this Guaranty.    Each reference to “Subsidiary Guarantor” or “Guarantor” in this Guaranty shall be deemed to include such Subsidiary.

11.    AGENCY OF BORROWER FOR SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS
Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby appoints the Borrower as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents, including the giving and receipt of notices and the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and therein and all modifications hereto and thereto.

Exhibit A
to the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement (First Lien)

SUPPLEMENT NO. __
TO SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE AGREEMENT (FIRST LIEN)

SUPPLEMENT NO. __, dated as of ______ __, ____ (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Supplement”), to the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement (First Lien), dated as of August 30, 2019 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Guaranty”), among each Subsidiary listed on the signature page thereof and each other Subsidiary that became a party thereto after the date thereof (each an “Existing Guarantor” and collectively, the “Existing Guarantors”) and CREDIT SUISSE AG, CAYMAN ISLANDS BRANCH, as administrative agent (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Administrative Agent”) for the Secured Parties.
A.    Reference is made to the First Lien Credit Agreement dated as of August 30, 2019 (as amended, restated, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, the “First Lien Credit Agreement”), among Queso Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), CEC Entertainment, Inc. (the “Borrower”), the Lenders party thereto from time to time and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as Administrative Agent.
B.    Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the First Lien Credit Agreement.
C.    Each Existing Guarantor has entered into the Guaranty in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and each Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit.  Section 11 of the Guaranty provides that additional Subsidiaries may become Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined in the Guaranty) under the Guaranty by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement.  The undersigned Subsidiary of the Borrower (the “New Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the First Lien Credit Agreement to become a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guaranty in order to induce the Lenders to maintain and/or make additional Loans and each Issuing Bank to maintain and/or issue additional Letters of Credit, and as consideration for Loans previously made and Letters of Credit previously issued. 
Accordingly, the New Subsidiary agrees as follows:
SECTION 1.  In accordance with Section 11 of the Guaranty, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guaranty with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Subsidiary Guarantor and the New Subsidiary hereby agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Guaranty applicable to it as a Subsidiary Guarantor thereunder.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Subsidiary does hereby guarantee to the Administrative Agent the due and punctual payment of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty) as set forth in the Guaranty.  Each reference to a “Subsidiary Guarantor” or a “Guarantor” in the Guaranty and in this Supplement shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary.  The Guaranty is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2.  The New Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing.
SECTION 3.  This Supplement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract.  This Supplement shall become effective when the Administrative Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Subsidiary.  Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Supplement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.
SECTION 4.  Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 5.  THIS SUPPLEMENT AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY PRINCIPLE OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THAT COULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF ANY OTHER LAW. 
SECTION 6.  In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Guaranty shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.  The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 7.  All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 5(d) of the Guaranty.
SECTION 8.  The New Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Administrative Agent.
