In entering into this Agreement, the Issuer and each other Credit Party consulted with, and has been represented by, legal counsel and expressly disclaims any reliance on any representations, acts or omissions by any of the Releasees and hereby agrees and acknowledges that the validity and effectiveness of the releases set forth above do not depend in any way on any such representations, acts and/or omissions or the accuracy, completeness or validity thereof.

SECOND LIEN NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This SECOND LIEN NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (including all exhibits and schedules hereto, and as the same may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, this “Agreement”) is entered into as of April 29, 2016, by and among KAMD Merger Sub, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Initial Issuer”) and, upon the consummation of the Closing Date Merger, as the successor-in-interest to the Initial Issuer by operation of law as a result of the Closing Date Merger, Amendia, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Company”), KAMD Buyer, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), the other Persons party hereto that are designated as a “Credit Party,” MetLife Private Equity Holdings, LLC (“MPEH”), as an initial Purchaser, MetLife Insurance K.K. (“MLKK”), as an initial Purchaser, and Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as Agent for the Purchasers.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Issuer has requested that each Purchaser purchase notes evidencing term loan securities from the Issuer upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement to (a) fund a portion of the acquisition of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Closing Date Merger”) pursuant to the terms of the Closing Date Merger Agreement, (b) refinance the existing indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Prior Indebtedness”), and (c) fund certain transaction fees and expenses associated with the funding of the Term Loans and consummation of the Closing Date Merger;

WHEREAS, the Issuer desires to secure all of its Obligations under the Note Documents by granting to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in and lien upon substantially all of its Property;

WHEREAS, Holdings, which directly owns all of the Stock and Stock Equivalents of the Initial Issuer (and, following the consummation of the Closing Date Merger, all of the Stock and Stock Equivalents of the Company), is willing to guaranty all of the Obligations of the Issuer and to grant to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in and lien upon substantially all of its Property (including all of the Stock and Stock Equivalents of the Issuer); and

WHEREAS, subject to the terms hereof each Domestic Subsidiary of the Issuer other than any Excluded Domestic Subsidiary is willing to guaranty all of the Obligations of the Issuer and to grant to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in and lien upon substantially all of its Property.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE CREDITS

1.1 The Term Loans.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties contained herein, each initial Purchaser severally and not jointly agrees to purchase notes issued by the Issuer evidencing term loan debt securities on the Original Closing Date in the amount set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name in Schedule 1.1 (such commitment being referred to herein as such Purchaser’s “Term Loan Commitment”). Amounts borrowed under this Section 1.1(a) are referred to as the “Initial Term Loans.”

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties contained herein, each Purchaser (if any) with an Incremental Term Loan Commitment (if any) severally and not jointly agrees to purchase notes issued by the Issuer evidencing Incremental Term Loans in an amount not to exceed such Purchaser’s Incremental Term Loan Commitment (if any).

(c) Unless the context shall otherwise require, the term “Term Loan Commitments” shall include the Incremental Term Loan Commitments. Once repaid or prepaid, Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(d) The amount of each Term Loan Commitment of a Purchaser shall automatically be reduced (and such portion of the Term Loan Commitment shall automatically and permanently terminate) concurrently with the purchase by such Purchaser of notes evidencing the applicable Term Loan(s) in such amount by such Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, the Term Loan Commitment(s) for the Initial Term Loan(s) shall be fully satisfied and shall be terminated concurrently upon purchase by Purchasers of notes evidencing the Initial Term Loan(s).

1.2 Evidence of Term Loans; Notes. The Term Loan(s) are evidenced by this Agreement and one or more Term Notes payable to each Purchaser in an aggregate amount equal to the unpaid balance of the Term Loan(s) held by such Purchaser.

1.3 Interest.

(a) Subject to Sections 1.3(c) and 1.3(d), each Term Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made, and all interest which is not paid when due, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR or the Base Rate, as the case may be, plus the Applicable Margin. Each determination of an interest rate by Agent (at the direction of the Purchasers) shall be conclusive and binding on the Issuer in the absence of manifest error. All computations of fees and interest under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year (or, in the case of interest on Base Rate Loans, a 365/366 day year) and in each case actual days elapsed. Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof.

(b) Interest Except as set forth in this Section 1.3(b), interest on each Term Loan shall be paid in cash (subject to a PIK Election duly made hereunder) in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be paid , in cash, on the date of any payment or prepayment of the Term Loans to the extent accrued and unpaid on the principal amount to be paid or prepaid.

(i) All interest on the Term Loans that was payable on an Interest Payment Date occurring on or after July 1, 2018 but prior to the Second Amendment Date and which was not paid in cash on or prior to the Second Amendment Date shall be deemed to have been paid in kind on such Interest Payment Date by adding (as of such Interest Payment Date) the amount of such accrued interest to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and thereafter such capitalized amounts shall bear interest in accordance with this Section 1.3.

(ii) During the Second Amendment Period, all interest on the Term Loans that is due on an Interest Payment Date (other than any Interest Payment Date that is a Payment Reinstatement Date) during such period shall be paid in kind by adding (on each such applicable Interest Payment Date) the amount of such accrued interest to the outstanding principal amount of such Term Loans and thereafter such capitalized amounts shall bear interest in accordance with this Section 1.3.

(iii) The After the Second Amendment Period (or on any Interest Payment Date that is a Payment Reinstatement Date), the Issuer may elect (a “PIK Election”) for all (but not less than all) Term Loans to pay on any Interest Payment Date (that is not the final maturity date for any Note or any other date on which principal is due for any reason) interest accrued at the rate of 1.00% per annum on all outstanding Term Loans from the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or initial date of the making of such Term Loans, as the case may be) by adding (on such Interest Payment Date) the amount of such accrued interest to the outstanding principal amount of such Term Loans (the “PIK Portion”) and thereafter such capitalized amounts shall bear interest in accordance with Section 1.3(a). Unless the Issuer shall have notified the Purchasers at least 5 Business Days prior to any Interest Payment Date otherwise, the Issuer will be deemed to have made a PIK Election as to the interest payment due on the Term Loans on such Interest Payment Date. Any election by the Issuer to pay any portion of the PIK Portion of the interest due on any Interest Payment Date shall apply to all outstanding Term Loans pro rata in accordance with the outstanding principal amounts thereof. All interest due on the Term Loans on any date not constituting the PIK Portion shall be paid in cash.

(c) At the written election of the Required Purchasers while any Specified Event of Default (other than the Current Default) exists (or automatically while any Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) (other than the Current Default), 7.1(f) or 7.1(g) exists), the Issuer shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the Term Loans and past due interest thereon, if any, from and after the date of occurrence of such Specified Event of Default, at a rate per annum which is determined by adding two percent (2.00%) per annum to the Applicable Margin then in effect for such Term Loans (plus LIBOR or the Base Rate, as the case may be). All such interest shall be payable in cash on demand of the Required Purchasers.

(d) Anything herein or in any Note to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the obligations of the Issuer hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the respective Purchaser would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Purchaser limiting the highest rate of

interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Purchaser, and in such event the Issuer shall pay such Purchaser interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law (“Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided that, if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Issuer shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by the Purchasers is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Original Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement; and (ii) any payment of accrued but unpaid interest at the maturity of a Note (or at such other time as payment of the principal amount of such Note or any portion thereof is due (as a result of prepayment, acceleration or otherwise)) shall be made entirely and exclusively in cash (or as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by each Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion).

(e) Notwithstanding anything else provided herein, at any time during the Second Amendment Period, to the extent that the Discharge of First Lien Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) has not occurred with respect to the Original Revolving Loans (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) and the Term Loans (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement), no Interest Payment Date may occur on a date that is not either (x) an Interest Payment Date (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) with respect to Original Revolving Loans (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) or Term Loans (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) under the First Lien Credit Agreement or (y) a date occurring within five (5) Business Days after an Interest Payment Date (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) with respect to Original Revolving Loans (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) or Term Loans (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) under the First Lien Credit Agreement.

1.4 Loan Accounts; Register.

(a) Subject to Sections 1.4(b)-(d), Agent, on behalf of each Purchaser shall record on its books and records the amount of each Term Loan made by it, the interest rate applicable, all payments of principal and interest thereon and the principal balance thereof from time to time outstanding. Subject to Sections 1.4(b)-(d), such record shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive evidence of the amount of the Term Loans made by each Purchaser to the Issuer and the interest and payments thereon. Agent shall, reasonably promptly following written request therefor from the Issuer, deliver to the Issuer a loan statement setting forth such record; provided that any failure to so record or any error in doing so, or any failure to deliver such loan statement shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Issuer hereunder (and under any Note) to pay any amount owing with respect to the Term Loans or provide the basis for any claim against any Purchaser or Agent.

(b) Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Issuer solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 1.4(b) (in such capacity, the “Registrar”), shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.2 (or at such other address as Agent may notify the Issuer and the Purchasers): (A) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which Agent agrees unless and until it notifies the Issuer and the Purchasers of its election to stop acting as the Registrar (in which event the Issuer shall become the Registrar unless and until the Required Purchasers elect to appoint another Person to act in such capacity (at the Issuer’s expense) and such Person accepts such appointment) to register by book entry the registered ownership rights and interests

of each Purchaser in its Term Loans and each Note and any assignment thereof, and (B) maintain accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (1) the names and addresses of the Purchasers (and each change thereto pursuant to Sections 9.9 and 9.22), (2) the amount of each Note, (3) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or paid, and (4) any other payment received by Agent from the Issuer and its application to the Obligations.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Term Loans (including any notes evidencing such Term Loans) are registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the Purchasers and their assignees in and to such Term Loans shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This Section 1.4 and Section 9.9 shall be construed so that the Term Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code.

(d) The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error and the Credit Parties, Agent and the Purchasers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Purchaser for all purposes of this Agreement. Information contained in the Register with respect to any Purchaser shall be available for access by the Issuer, Agent or such Purchaser during normal business hours and from time to time upon at least one Business Day’s prior notice.

1.5 [Reserved].

1.6 Conversion and Continuation Elections.

(a) The Issuer shall have the option to (i) request that the Initial Term Loans or the Incremental Term Loans be made as LIBOR Rate Loans, (ii) convert at any time all of the outstanding Term Loans from Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans, (iii) convert at any time all of the outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, subject to Section 10.4 if such conversion is made prior to the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (iv) continue the outstanding Term Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period. Any such election must be made by the Issuer by 2:00 p.m. (1) on the Business Day prior to the date on which the Initial Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans are to be made, and (2) on the third Business Day prior to (i) the end of each Interest Period with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans to be continued as such, or (ii) the date on which the Issuer wishes to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans for an Interest Period designated by the Issuer in such election. If no election is received with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans by 2:00 p.m. on the third Business Day prior to the end of the Interest Period with respect thereto, the LIBOR Rate Loans shall be converted to Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. The Issuer must make such election by notice to Agent in writing, including by Electronic Transmission. In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.6 or in a writing in any other form acceptable to the Required Purchasers. The Term Loans shall not be made as, converted into or continued as LIBOR Rate Loans if an Event of Default (other than any Specified Default) has occurred and is continuing and Required Purchasers have determined not to make or continue the Term Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans as a result thereof.

(b) Upon receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Agent will promptly notify each Purchaser thereof. Agent and the Purchasers may act upon the basis of such Notice of Conversion/Continuation believed by Agent in good faith to be from the Issuer. Agent and the Purchasers shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on any Notice of Conversion/Continuation. Agent will, with reasonable promptness, notify the Issuer and the Purchasers of each determination of LIBOR; provided, that any failure to do so shall not relieve the Issuer of any liability hereunder or provide the basis for any claim against Agent.

1.7 Optional Prepayments.

(a) Optional Prepayments Generally. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Issuer may at any time upon (i) at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice by the Issuer to Agent and the Purchasers with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Required Purchasers) or (ii) written notice by the Issuer to Agent and the Purchasers on the day of prepayment with respect to Base Rate Loans, prepay the Term Loans in whole or in part in an amount greater than or equal to $100,000, without penalty or premium except for payment of the Prepayment Premium, if applicable, and as provided in Section 10.4. Each notice of prepayment shall set forth the date of prepayment and each Purchaser’s Applicable Percentage of the applicable prepayment. As used herein, “Prepayment Premium” means an amount equal to the aggregate accreted principal amount (including capitalized interest) of the Initial Term Loans being prepaid multiplied by (1) in the case of any prepayment occurring prior to the first anniversary of the Original Closing Date, three percent (3.0%), (2) in the case of any prepayment occurring on or after the first anniversary of the Original Closing Date but prior to the second anniversary of the Original Closing Date, two percent (2.0%), (3) in the case of any prepayment occurring on or after the second anniversary of the Original Closing Date but prior to the third anniversary of the Original Closing Date, one percent (1.0%), and (4) in the case of any prepayment occurring on or after the third anniversary of the Original Closing Date, zero percent (0%).

(b) Notices. The notice of any prepayment pursuant to clause (a) above shall not thereafter be revocable by the Issuer; provided that a notice of prepayment delivered by the Issuer in connection with a prepayment of the Obligations in full may state that such prepayment is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, the proceeds of which shall be used to repay the Obligations in full in cash, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Issuer (by written notice provided to Agent prior to the specified effective date thereof) if such condition is not satisfied. The payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(c) Application of Partial Prepayments. Partial prepayments of the Term Loans will be applied to the outstanding Term Loans of the Purchasers on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

1.8 Repayment of the Term Loans.

(a) Scheduled Repayment. The outstanding principal amount of the Initial Term Loans shall be paid in full on October 31, 2023. The outstanding principal amount of each Incremental Term Loan shall be payable as set forth in the applicable amendment or joinder agreement with respect to such Incremental Term Loan.

(b) Asset Dispositions; Events of Loss. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if a Credit Party or any Subsidiary of a Credit Party shall at any time or from time to time:

(i)

make a Disposition; or

(ii)

suffer an Event of Loss;

and the aggregate amount of the Net Proceeds received by the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries in connection with such Disposition or Event of Loss and all other Dispositions and Events of Loss occurring during the Fiscal Year exceeds $750,000, then (A) the Issuer shall promptly notify the Purchasers and Agent of such Disposition or Event of Loss (including the amount of the estimated Net Proceeds to be received by a Credit Party and/or such Subsidiary in respect thereof) and (B) promptly following receipt by a Credit Party and/or such Subsidiary of the Net Proceeds of such Disposition or Event of Loss, the Issuer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, such excess Net Proceeds to the Purchasers as a prepayment of the Term Loans, which prepayment shall be applied, subject to Section 1.8(g), by the Issuer in accordance with Section 1.8(e) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such prepayment shall not be required to the extent a Credit Party or such Subsidiary reinvests the Net Proceeds of such Disposition or Event of Loss in productive assets of a kind then used or usable in the business of the Issuer or such Subsidiary, within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of such Disposition or Event of Loss or enters into a binding commitment thereof within said two hundred seventy (270) day period and subsequently makes such reinvestment within one hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration of such two hundred seventy (270) day period; provided, that the Issuer notifies the Purchasers of the Issuer’s or such Subsidiary’s intent to reinvest and of the completion of such reinvestment at the time such proceeds are received and when such reinvestment occurs, respectively.

(c) Incurrence of Debt; Specified Equity Contributions. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, immediately upon receipt by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party of the Net Issuance Proceeds of Specified Equity Contributions or the incurrence of Indebtedness (other than Net Issuance Proceeds from the incurrence of Indebtedness permitted hereunder), the Issuer shall within three Business Days prepay the Term Loans by an amount equal to such Specified Equity Contributions or Net Issuance Proceeds, in each instance, for application to the Term Loans, subject to Section 1.8(g), in accordance with Section 1.8(e).

(d) Excess Cash Flow. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, within five (5) Business Days after the annual financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.1(a) hereof, commencing with such annual financial statements for the Fiscal Year ending on December 31, 2017 (for the period from the Restatement Effective Date through December 31, 2017), the Issuer shall deliver to each Purchaser a written calculation of Excess Cash Flow of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year in the form of Exhibit 1.8(d)

and certified as correct on behalf of the Credit Parties by a Responsible Officer of the Issuer and shall prepay the Term Loans by an amount equal to (i) 50% of such Excess Cash Flow if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as calculated in the manner set forth on Exhibit 4.2(b) to the First Lien Credit Agreement) as of the last day of such Fiscal Year is greater than 2.75 to 1.00, (ii) 25% of such Excess Cash Flow, if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such Fiscal Year is less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00, but greater than 2.25 to 1.00 and (iii) 0% of such Excess Cash Flow, if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such Fiscal Year is less than or equal to 2.25 to 1.00, minus, in each case, at the option of the Issuer, the sum of (A) the aggregate amount of any voluntary prepayments of revolving loans (to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction of the revolving loan commitments) under the First Lien Credit Agreement made during such Fiscal Year, and (B) the aggregate amount of any voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans and of the term loans under the First Lien Credit Agreement made during such Fiscal Year (other than Discounted Buybacks (as such term is defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement on the Restatement Effective Date)), for application to the Term Loans, subject to Section 1.8(g), in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.8(e) hereof, in each case to the extent made during the applicable Fiscal Year to the extent not financed through the issuance of Stock or Stock Equivalents or the incurrence of Indebtedness. Excess Cash Flow shall be calculated in the manner set forth in Exhibit 1.8(d).

(e) Application of Prepayments. Subject to Section 1.10(c), any prepayments pursuant to Section 1.8(b), 1.8(c) or 1.8(d) shall be applied by the Issuer to prepay the outstanding Term Loans pro rata based upon the respective amounts thereof (which, if any Other Term Loans are then outstanding, shall consist of a prepayment of Other Term Loans in an amount equal to the Other Pro Rata Share of such prepayment of Term Loans and a prepayment of Term Loans that are not Other Term Loans in the remaining amount). The Issuer shall provide Agent and the Purchasers with at least two Business Days prior written notice of any prepayment proposed to be made pursuant to Section 1.8(b), 1.8(c) or 1.8(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Purchaser may reject all or a portion of its pro rata share of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of the Term Loans otherwise required to be made pursuant to clauses (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 1.8 by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to Agent and the Issuer no later than 5:00 p.m. one (1) Business Day prior to the applicable prepayment date. Each Rejection Notice from a Purchaser shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory prepayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Purchaser. If a Purchaser fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Purchasers within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed a rejection by such Purchaser of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of such Term Loans otherwise owed to such Purchaser. To the extent that any prepayment pursuant to this Section 1.8 would otherwise be applied to a LIBOR Rate Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and no Default or Event of Default exists or is continuing, the Issuer may instruct each Purchaser in writing to hold such prepayment as cash collateral until the last day of the applicable Interest Period (and interest in respect of the amounts so held shall continue to accrue thereon at the rate provided hereunder for the Term Loans which such amounts are intended to repay until such amounts are used in full to repay such Term Loans) and then such Purchaser shall apply such prepayment to pay such LIBOR Rate Loan on the last day of the applicable Interest Period. Together with each prepayment under this Section 1.8, the Issuer shall pay any amounts required pursuant to Section 10.4 hereof.

(f) No Implied Consent. Provisions contained in this Section 1.8 for the application of proceeds of certain transactions shall not be deemed to constitute consent of the Purchasers to transactions that are not otherwise permitted by the terms hereof or the other Note Documents.

(g) Prior Application to First Lien Loans. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.8, any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans that is otherwise required to be made pursuant to Section 1.8(b), 1.8(c) or 1.8(d) above shall (until all interest and principal under the Loans (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) has been paid in full and no Revolving Loans (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) or commitments therefor are outstanding) be deemed satisfied to the extent that the amount of such mandatory prepayment has been applied to prepay the Term Loans (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) and thereafter Revolving Loans (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement).

1.9 Payment of Fees to Agent. The Issuer covenants and agrees to timely pay to Agent, for its own account, the fees and other expenses set forth in the Agent Fee Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein.

1.10 Payments by the Credit Parties.

(a) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by each Credit Party on account of principal, interest, fees and other amounts required hereunder shall (i) be made without set-off, recoupment, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, (ii) unless otherwise expressly provided herein, be made to Agent (for the ratable account of the Persons entitled thereto) at the address for payment specified in the signature page hereof in relation to Agent (or such other address as Agent may from time to time specify by written notice to the Purchasers and the Issuer in accordance with Section 9.2), including payments utilizing the ACH system, and (iii) be made in Dollars and by wire transfer or ACH transfer in immediately available funds (which shall be the exclusive means of payment hereunder), no later than noon (New York City time) on the date due. Any payment which is received by Agent later than noon (New York City time) shall be deemed to have been received on the immediately succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. The Issuer and each other Credit Party hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application during the continuance of an Event of Default of any and all payments in respect of any Obligation and any proceeds of Collateral.

(b) Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” herein, if any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c) After any or all of the Obligations have been accelerated (so long as such acceleration has not been rescinded), the Required Purchasers may by written notice to the Issuer and the Purchasers require that any and all payments made by or on behalf of any Credit Party in respect of any Obligation (including proceeds of Collateral) shall be applied in accordance with clauses first through sixth below:

first, to payment of costs and expenses, including Attorney Costs, of Agent payable or reimbursable by the Credit Parties under the Note Documents;

second, to payment of costs and expenses, including Attorney Costs, of the Purchasers payable or reimbursable by the Credit Parties under the Note Documents;

third, to payment of all accrued unpaid interest on the Obligations and fees owed to Agent and the Purchasers;

fourth, to payment of principal of the Obligations;

fifth, to payment of any other amounts owing constituting Obligations; and

sixth, any remainder shall be for the account of and paid to whoever may be lawfully entitled thereto, including the Issuer, as the case may be.

In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category and (ii) each of the Purchasers or other Persons entitled to payment shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses third, fourth and fifth above.

1.11 Settlement. With respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees and other amounts in respect of any Term Loan received by Agent from the Issuer prior to noon (New York City time) on any Business Day, Agent shall pay to each applicable Purchaser such Purchaser’s Commitment Percentage of such payment by wire transfer to such Purchaser (at the address for payment specified in the signature page hereof in relation to such Purchaser or such other address as any Purchaser may from time to time specify by written notice to Agent) not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day, and, in the case of any such payment received by Agent from the Issuer later than noon (New York City time) on any Business Day, Agent shall pay to each applicable Purchaser such Purchaser’s Commitment Percentage of such payment by wire transfer to such Purchaser not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the next Business Day.

1.12 Incremental Term Loans.

(a) The At any time prior to the Second Amendment Date or after the end of the Second Amendment Period, the Issuer may, by written notice to the Purchasers and Agent from time to time, request Incremental Term Loan Commitments, in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Incremental Term Loan Amount, from one or more Incremental Term Loan Purchasers, each of which must be (i) an existing Purchaser, (ii) any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Purchaser or (iii) any other Person that is not a Restricted Purchaser and is otherwise acceptable to the Required Purchasers (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the Issuer. Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or such lesser amount equal to the remaining Incremental Term Loan Amount), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice), and (iii) whether such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are commitments to purchase notes

issued by the Issuer evidencing term loan debt with terms identical to the terms of the existing Term Loans or commitments to purchase notes issued by the Issuer evidencing term loan debt with a different maturity date than the then existing Term Loans or with pricing terms different from the pricing terms of the then existing Term Loans (the term loans with such different pricing terms are referred to herein as the “Other Term Loans” and the related Incremental Term Loan Commitments as the “Other Term Loan Commitments”). The Issuer will first seek Incremental Term Loan Commitments from existing Purchasers (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion) and, if additional commitments are needed, from additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders who will become Incremental Term Loan Purchasers in connection therewith. The Issuer and each Incremental Term Loan Purchaser shall execute and deliver (and provide a copy of the same to each Purchaser and Agent) an Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Required Purchasers shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of each Incremental Term Loan Purchaser. The terms and provisions of the Incremental Term Loans shall be identical to those of the then existing Term Loans, except as otherwise set forth herein. If the initial pricing terms on the requested Other Term Loans (as determined by the Purchasers to be equal to the sum of (x) the margin above LIBOR on the requested Other Term Loans (inclusive of any interest rate floors), (y) any OID with respect to the requested Other Term Loans and (z) any upfront fees, but excluding arrangement, structuring and underwriting fees or similar fees not paid to the Purchasers generally that are paid or payable to MPEH, MLKK or their Affiliates or any other arranger, divided by the lesser of (A) the average life to maturity of such Other Term Loans and (B) four) exceeds the pricing terms of any of the then existing Term Loans (as determined by the Purchasers with respect to each such existing Term Loan to be equal to the sum of (x) the Applicable Margin for such existing Term Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans (inclusive of any interest rate floors), (y) any OID with respect to such existing Term Loan and (z) any upfront fees, but excluding arrangement, structuring and underwriting fees or similar fees not paid to the Purchasers generally that are paid or payable to MPEH, MLKK or their Affiliates or any other arranger, divided by the lesser of (A) the average life to maturity of such existing Term Loans and (B) four) by more than 50 basis points, then the pricing terms then in effect for each such existing Term Loan shall automatically be increased to the extent necessary such that the pricing terms (inclusive of any OID) of each such existing Term Loans is equal to the pricing terms of the requested Other Term Loans minus 50 basis points, effective upon the purchase of notes issued by the Issuer evidencing the requested Other Term Loans; provided that, to the extent the pricing terms on the requested Other Term Loans is greater than the pricing terms with respect to such existing Term Loans solely as a result of a higher interest rate floor, then the interest rate margin increase shall be effectuated solely by increasing the interest rate floor on the applicable existing Term Loans, as applicable. The final maturity date of any Incremental Term Loans that are a separate tranche shall be no earlier than the maturity date of the Initial Term Loans and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any such Incremental Term Loans shall not be shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Initial Term Loans.

(b) The Issuer shall promptly notify each Purchaser and Agent as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall become effective under this Section 1.12 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, (x) each representation and warranty by any Credit Party contained herein or in any other Note Document shall be true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifier contained therein) as of such date, except

to the extent that any such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date (in which event such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifier contained therein) as of such earlier date, and (y) no Default or Event of Default shall then exist or be reasonably expected to result after giving effect to the Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant thereto and the Purchasers shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Issuer, provided that, if the proceeds thereof are intended to and shall be used to finance a Permitted Acquisition subject to customary “funds certain provisions”, no Default or Event of Default under Section 7.1(a), 7.1(f) or 7.1(g) shall exist and the condition set forth in clause (i)(x) above shall be limited to the Specified Representations and those representations included in the related acquisition agreement that are material to the interests of the Purchasers and only to the extent that the Issuer (or the applicable Credit Party) or Subsidiary has the right to terminate its obligations under such acquisition agreement as a result of a breach of such representations, (ii) except as otherwise specified in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement, the Purchasers shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Required Purchasers and consistent with those delivered on the Original Closing Date under Section 2.1, (iii) after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment and the Incremental Term Loans to be made thereunder and the application of the proceeds therefrom (x) the Issuer shall be in compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.2 (and the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.2 of the First Lien Credit Agreement) on a pro forma basis, recomputed for the most recent Fiscal Quarter for which financial statements have been delivered hereunder and (y) the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and the Leverage Ratio on a pro forma basis, recomputed for the most recent Fiscal Quarter for which financial statements have been delivered hereunder, would be less than or equal to 3.40 to 1.00 and 4.75 to 1.00, respectively, (iv) to the extent reasonably necessary to maintain the continuing priority of the Lien of the Mortgages as security for the Obligations, as determined by the Required Purchasers in their reasonable discretion (x) the applicable Credit Party to any Mortgages shall have entered into, and delivered to the Purchasers, at the direction and in the reasonable discretion of the Required Purchasers a mortgage modification in proper form for recording in the relevant jurisdiction and in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Required Purchasers, (y) the Issuer shall have caused to be delivered to Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties an endorsement to the title insurance policy, date down(s) or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Required Purchasers, insuring that the priority of the Lien of the Mortgages as security for the Obligations has not changed and confirming and/or insuring that since the issuance of the title insurance policy there has been no change in the condition of title and there are no intervening liens or encumbrances which may then or thereafter take priority over the Lien of the Mortgages (other than those expressly permitted by Section 5.1) and (z) the Issuer shall have delivered, at the request of the Required Purchasers or Agent, to Agent and the Purchasers and/or all other relevant third parties all other items reasonably necessary to maintain the continuing priority of the Lien of the Mortgages as security for the Obligations, and (v) any Incremental Term Loan will rank pari passu in right of payment and pari passu with respect to security with the other Term Loans, and (vi) unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms of this Section 1.12, the terms applicable to each Incremental Term Loan shall be consistent with the terms applicable to all other Term Loans.

(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Term Loan, this Agreement shall be amended (with prior notice thereof to Agent) to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence of such Incremental Facility

and the Term Loans evidenced thereby, and any joinder agreement or amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) may without the consent of the other Purchasers effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Note Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Required Purchasers and the Issuer, to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.12, and, for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 1.12 shall supersede any provisions in Section 9.1. From and after such effectiveness, the Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments established pursuant to this Section 1.12 shall constitute Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Note Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the guarantees and security interests created by the applicable Collateral Documents. The Credit Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Required Purchasers and Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Liens and security interests granted by the applicable Collateral Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such new Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments.

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Required Purchasers may, in consultation with the Issuer, take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Term Loans (other than Other Term Loans), when originally made, are included in each borrowing of outstanding Term Loans on a pro rata basis. This may be accomplished by requiring each outstanding borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans to be converted into a borrowing of Base Rate Loans on the date of each Incremental Term Loan, or by allocating a portion of each Incremental Term Loan to each outstanding borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans on a pro rata basis. Any conversion of LIBOR Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans required by the preceding sentence shall be subject to Section 10.4. If any Incremental Term Loan is to be allocated to an existing Interest Period for a borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans, then the interest rate thereon for such Interest Period and the other economic consequences thereof shall be as set forth in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement.

4.5 Maintenance of Property. Each Credit Party shall maintain, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, and preserve all its tangible Property which is used or useful in its business in reasonably good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted and shall make all necessary repairs thereto and renewals and replacements thereof (other than, in each case, the abandonment or lapse of Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and other Intellectual Property no longer commercially practicable, used or desirable in the Ordinary Course of Business) except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

4.6 Insurance.

(a) Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (i) maintain or cause to be maintained in full force and effect all policies of insurance of any kind with respect to the Property and businesses of the Credit Parties and such Subsidiaries (including policies of life, fire, theft, product liability, public liability, Flood Insurance, property damage, other casualty, employee fidelity, workers’ compensation, business interruption and employee health and welfare insurance) with financially sound and reputable insurance companies or associations (in each case that are not Affiliates of the Issuer) of a nature and providing such coverage as is sufficient and as is consistent with past practices of the Credit Parties and (ii) cause all such insurance relating to any Property or business of any Credit Party to name Agent as additional insured or, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, lenders loss payee as agent for the Purchasers, as appropriate. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, all policies of insurance on real and personal Property of the Credit Parties will contain an endorsement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Required Purchasers, showing loss payable to Agent (Form CP 1218 or equivalent and naming Agent as lenders loss payee and, as applicable to real property, as a mortgagee, as agent for the Purchasers) and extra expense and business interruption endorsements. Any such endorsement, or an independent instrument furnished to Agent, will provide that the insurance companies will give Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy of such notice to the Purchasers) at least thirty (30) days’ (or ten (10) days’ in the case of cancellation for non-payment of premiums) prior written notice before any such policy or policies of insurance shall be altered or canceled and that no act or default of the Credit Parties or any other Person shall affect the right of Agent to recover under such policy or policies of insurance in case of loss or damage. Each Credit Party shall, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, direct all present and future insurers under its “All Risk” policies of property insurance to pay all proceeds payable thereunder directly to Agent. If any insurance proceeds are paid by check, draft or other instrument payable to any Credit Party and Agent jointly, Agent may endorse such Credit Party’s name thereon and do such other things as Agent may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash. The Required Purchasers reserve the right at any time, upon

review of each Credit Party’s risk profile, to require additional forms and limits of insurance. Notwithstanding the requirement in clause (i) above, Flood Insurance shall not be required for (x) Real Estate not located in a Special Flood Hazard Area, or (y) Real Estate located in a Special Flood Hazard Area in a community that does not participate in the National Flood Insurance Program.

(b) Unless the Credit Parties provide the Purchasers with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement (including Flood Insurance, if applicable) Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) may purchase insurance (including Flood Insurance, if applicable) at the Credit Parties’ expense to protect Agent’s and Purchasers’ interests, including interests in the Credit Parties’ and their Subsidiaries’ properties. This insurance may, but need not, protect the Credit Parties’ and their Subsidiaries’ interests. The coverage purchased by Agent may not pay any claim that any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party makes or any claim that is made against such Credit Party or any Subsidiary in connection with said Property. The Issuer may later cancel any insurance purchased by Agent, but only after providing Agent and the Purchasers with evidence that there has been obtained insurance as required by this Agreement. If Agent purchases insurance, the Credit Parties will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest and any other charges such Purchaser may impose in connection with the placement of insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance shall be added to the Obligations. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance the Issuer may be able to obtain on its own.

4.7 Payment of Obligations. Each Other than with respect to any payment for which the failure to make such payment would result in a Specified Default (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) or the Current Default, each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay, discharge and perform as the same shall become due and payable or required to be performed, all their respective material obligations and liabilities, including:

(a) all material Tax liabilities, assessments and governmental charges or levies upon it or its Property, unless the same are (i) not yet overdue or (ii) being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently prosecuted which stay the enforcement of any Lien and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP are being maintained by such Person;

(b) all material lawful claims which, if unpaid, would by law become a Lien upon its Property unless the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently prosecuted which stay the imposition (other than the imposition of Permitted Liens) or enforcement of any Lien and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP are being maintained by such Person;

(c) the performance of all obligations (other than obligations with respect to Indebtedness) under any Contractual Obligation to which such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries is bound, or to which it or any of its Property is subject, including the Restatement Effective Date Related Agreements (other than the First Lien Indebtedness Documents), except where the failure to perform would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; and

(d) payments to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of a Lien with respect to, or the involuntary termination of any underfunded Title IV Plan.

4.8 Compliance with Laws. Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all Requirements of Law of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it or its business, except where the failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. All Products developed, manufactured, tested, distributed or marketed by or on behalf of any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries that are subject to the jurisdiction of the FDA or comparable Governmental Authority shall be developed, tested, manufactured, distributed and marketed in compliance with the Public Health Laws and any other Requirements of Law, including, without limitation, product approval or premarket notification, good manufacturing practices, labeling, advertising, record-keeping, and adverse event reporting, and have been and are being tested, investigated, distributed, marketed, and sold in compliance with Public Health Laws and all other Requirements of Law, in each case, except where the failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

4.9 Inspection of Property and Books and Records. Each Credit Party shall maintain and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain proper books of record and account, in which full, true and correct entries in conformity with GAAP consistently applied shall be made of all financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of such Person. Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, with respect to each owned, leased, or controlled property, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice at times to be mutually agreed by the Required Purchasers and such Credit Party once per calendar year (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which event no notice shall be required and the Purchasers shall have access at any and all times during the continuance thereof): (a) provide access to such property to such Purchaser as the Required Purchasers may designate (the “Designated Purchaser”) and any of its Related Persons; and (b) permit the Designated Purchaser and any of its Related Persons to conduct field examinations, audit, inspect, and make extracts and copies from all of such Credit Party’s books and records, in each instance, at the Credit Parties’ expense; provided that the Credit Parties shall only be obligated to reimburse the Purchasers for the reasonable and documented expenses of one such field examination, audit and inspection per calendar year or more frequently if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Any Purchaser may accompany the Designated Purchaser or its Related Persons in connection with any inspection at such Purchaser’s expense.

4.10 Use of Proceeds. The Issuer shall use the proceeds of the Term Loans (other than Incremental Term Loans) solely as follows: (i) first, to refinance on the Original Closing Date, Prior Indebtedness and to replace, backstop or cash collateralize existing letters of credit, and thereafter, to pay on the Original Closing Date a portion of the purchase price for the Closing Date Merger, and (ii) to pay costs and expenses of the Closing Date Related Transactions and costs and expenses required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.1. The Issuer shall use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans solely (A) (i) to pay the purchase price for a Permitted Acquisition and other Investments permitted by Section 5.4, (ii) to refinance existing Indebtedness of any Target acquired in connection therewith and (iii) to pay related costs and expenses and (B) for working capital and/or for other general corporate purposes not in contravention of any Requirement of Law and not in violation of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall be

permitted to use the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans to replenish cash on the balance sheet of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, in each case, previously used for a purpose otherwise permitted under this Section 4.10 (to the extent used within ninety (90) days prior to the funding of such Incremental Term Loan).

4.11 Cash Management Systems. Each Credit Party shall, not later than the earlier of (a)(i) sixty (60) days after the Original Closing Date (or such longer period as approved by the Required Purchasers in their sole discretion) or (ii) sixty (60) days after the opening of any such account (or such longer period as approved by the Required Purchasers in their sole discretion) after the Original Closing Date, as applicable, and (b) the date on which such Credit Party enters into any of the foregoing agreements with the applicable depository, securities intermediary or commodities intermediary in connection with the First Lien Credit Agreement, enter into, and cause each depository, securities intermediary or commodities intermediary to enter into, Control Agreements with respect to each deposit, securities, commodity or similar account maintained by such Person (other than any Excluded Account (as defined in the Guaranty and Security Agreement)) as of or after the Original Closing Date; provided that, if such depository, securities intermediary or commodities intermediary does not allow for more than one Control Agreement to be entered into with respect to the applicable account, the requirement in this sentence shall be deemed to be satisfied to the extent such depository, securities intermediary or commodities intermediary has entered into a Control Agreement with respect to such account with the First Lien Agent. Control Agreements shall permit Credit Parties to withdraw or otherwise dispose of funds deposited in or credited to any account that is subject to a Control Agreement until, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, Agent delivers to the applicable depository, securities intermediary or commodities intermediary a notice of exclusive control or other similar notice, and Agent agrees that it shall not deliver any such notice unless, in each case, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Required Purchasers have directed Agent to so deliver such notice.

4.12 Landlord Agreements. Each Credit Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a landlord agreement or bailee or mortgagee waivers, as applicable, from the lessor of each Leased Real Estate where any material books and records are stored or located, bailee in possession of any material books and records, or mortgagee of Owned Real Estate with respect to each location where any material books and records are stored or located, which agreement shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Required Purchasers.

4.13 Further Assurances.

(a) Each Credit Party shall ensure that all written information, exhibits and reports furnished to Agent or the Purchasers (other than financial projections) do not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and do not and will not omit to state any material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, when taken as a whole, not misleading in light of the circumstances in which made, and will promptly disclose to Agent and the Purchasers and correct any such defect or error that may be discovered therein or in any Note Document or in the execution, acknowledgement or recordation thereof.

(b) Promptly upon request by the Purchasers, the Credit Parties shall (and, subject to the limitations set forth herein and in the Collateral Documents, shall cause each of their

Subsidiaries to) take such additional actions and execute such documents as the Required Purchasers may reasonably require from time to time in order (i) to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Agreement or any other Note Document, (ii) to subject to the Liens created by any of the Collateral Documents any of the Properties, rights or interests covered by any of the Collateral Documents, (iii) subject to customary “funds certain provisions” with respect to perfection of Liens on assets acquired in a Permitted Acquisition or other Investment permitted hereunder, to perfect and maintain the validity, effectiveness and priority of any of the Collateral Documents and the Liens intended to be created thereby, and (iv) to better assure, convey, grant, assign, transfer, preserve, protect and confirm to the Secured Parties the rights granted or now or hereafter intended to be granted to the Secured Parties under any Note Document.

Furthermore and except as otherwise approved in writing by Required Purchasers and, notwithstanding the foregoing, each Credit Party shall pledge, and shall cause Holdings and each of its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Domestic Subsidiaries) to pledge, all of the Stock and Stock Equivalents of each of its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Domestic Subsidiaries) and sixty-five percent (65%) of the outstanding voting Stock and Stock Equivalents and one hundred percent (100%) of outstanding non-voting Stock and Stock Equivalents of each Excluded Domestic Holdco and First Tier Foreign Subsidiary (in each case, directly owned by a Credit Party), in each instance, to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to secure the Obligations, promptly after formation or acquisition of such Subsidiary.

In connection with each pledge of Stock and Stock Equivalents, the Credit Parties shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Agent (or to First Lien Agent as Agent’s bailee for perfection purposes), irrevocable proxies and stock powers and/or assignments, as applicable, duly executed in blank. In the event any Credit Party or any Domestic Subsidiary (other than any Excluded Domestic Subsidiary) of any Credit Party acquires fee title to any real estate with a fair market value in excess of $2,000,000, within ninety (90) days of such acquisition (or such later date as may be agreed by the Required Purchasers in their sole discretion), such Person shall execute and/or deliver, or cause to be executed and/or delivered, to Agent and the Purchasers, (v) to the extent necessary to obtain the lender’s title insurance policy referred to in clause (w) below or, if applicable, to satisfy the Flood Insurance requirements of Section 4.6(a), an appraisal complying with FIRREA, (w) a fully executed Mortgage, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Purchasers, together with an A.L.T.A. lender’s title insurance policy issued by a title insurer reasonably satisfactory to the Required Purchasers, in form and substance and in an amount reasonably satisfactory to the Required Purchasers (but in no event exceeding one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the value of such property as reasonably determined by Issuer) insuring that the Mortgage is a valid and

enforceable second priority Lien on the respective property, free and clear of all defects, encumbrances and Liens (other than Permitted Liens); provided that, solely with regard to real estate located in jurisdictions that calculate mortgage recording fees and mortgage taxes solely based on the appraised value of such real estate, the amount of Obligations secured by each such mortgage shall not exceed one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the appraised value of such real estate (or such lesser amount as shall be agreed to by the Required Purchasers), and (y) then current A.L.T.A. surveys (or such other survey alternative as is acceptable to the Required Purchasers), certified to Agent by a licensed surveyor (unless the Required Purchasers accept a survey alternative in lieu of an A.L.T.A survey) sufficient to allow the issuer of the lender’s title insurance policy to issue such policy without a survey exception. In the event any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party acquires any Real Estate having a fair market value in excess of $2,000,000 (other than any Real Estate acquired for use primarily as administrative or sales offices), at the request by the Required Purchasers, the Credit Parties shall cause to be delivered to Agent and the Purchasers, reasonably prior to such acquisition, an environmental site assessment prepared by a qualified firm reasonably acceptable to the Required Purchasers, in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Purchasers.

4.14 Environmental Matters. Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with, and maintain its Real Estate under its control, whether owned, leased,

subleased or otherwise operated or occupied, in compliance with, all applicable Environmental Laws (including by implementing any Remedial Action necessary to achieve such compliance) or that is required by orders and directives of any Governmental Authority except where the failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing or if the Required Purchasers at any time have a reasonable basis to believe that there exist violations of Environmental Laws by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party or that there exist any Environmental Liabilities that, in either case, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, then each Credit Party shall, promptly upon receipt of request from the Required Purchasers, cause the performance of, and allow the Purchasers and their Related Persons access to such Real Estate for the purpose of conducting, such environmental audits and assessments, including subsurface sampling of soil and groundwater, and cause the preparation of such reports, in each case as the Required Purchasers may from time to time reasonably request.

4.17 Amendments to Certain Agreements. Upon entering into any amendment or other modification of the First Lien Credit Agreement (other than the First Amendment (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement)) or any extension, renewal, replacement, refinancing or any other form of refunding of the First Lien Credit Agreement (a “Replacement Credit Agreement”) or any amendment or other modification of any Replacement Credit Agreement, in any such case (each being a “Modifying Agreement”) pursuant to which covenants or events of default are changed or added (or having the same effect as such a change or addition), the Credit Parties shall (1) promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days provide written notice thereof to each Purchaser describing such Modifying Agreement in reasonable detail and (2) offer to enter into an amendment of this Agreement within five Business Days of consummating such Modifying Agreement to make corresponding changes or additions herein in respect of covenants and events of default; provided that, as to covenants which set forth any requisite ratio or compliance amount, such ratio and compliance amount may be less onerous upon the Credit Parties in the same proportion as comparable provisions are less onerous hereunder on the Restatement Effective Date.

4.18 Board Observation Rights. The Credit Parties shall permit or cause to be permitted one (1) person designated by the Designated Purchaser (which person, if not an employee of the Designated Purchaser or its Affiliates, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Issuer) to attend each regularly scheduled, special and other meeting (including telephonic meetings) of the Primary Board as a non-voting observer (in such capacity, a “Non-Voting Observer”). Notice of the time and place of each such meeting shall be given to Designated Purchaser in the same manner and at the same time as notice is given to the members of the Primary Board. The Designated Purchaser shall be given copies of all notices, reports, minutes, consents and other documents and materials at the time and in the manner as are provided to the Primary Board. The Issuer shall reimburse the Designated Purchaser for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Non- Voting Observer in connection with traveling to and from and attending meetings of the Primary Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Non-Voting Observer may be excluded from access to any meeting of the Primary Board or material relating thereto (or any portion thereof) if (A) the Non-Voting Observer has not agreed to maintain the confidentiality of such information in accordance with Section 9.10 or (B) legal counsel for the Issuer has determined that such access would (i) prevent the members of the Primary Board from engaging in attorney-client privileged communication with counsel or (ii) result in a conflict of interest with the Designated Purchaser, so long as, in each case, the Issuer notifies the Designated Purchaser of such determination.

4.19 Purchaser Meetings. The Issuer will, to the extent requested by the Required Purchasers, promptly after delivery of financial statements during the Second Amendment Period for the most recently ended fiscal quarter or fiscal month pursuant to Section 4.1(b) and 4.1(c) above, cause appropriate senior management of the Issuer (including the chief financial officer and/or chief executive officer of the Issuer) to participate in a single conference call with the Purchasers, in each case to discuss the financial statements for such fiscal month or fiscal quarter, as applicable, at a reasonable time mutually acceptable to the Required Purchasers and the Issuer.

Each Secured Party, by accepting the benefits of the Note Documents, agrees that (i) any action taken by Agent or the Required Purchasers (or, if expressly required hereby, a greater proportion of the Purchasers) in accordance with the provisions of the Note Documents, (ii) any action taken by Agent in reliance upon the instructions of Required Purchasers (or, where so required, such greater proportion) and (iii) the exercise by Agent or the Required Purchasers (or, where so required, such greater proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Secured Parties.

8.3 Use of Discretion.

(a) No Action without Instructions. Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take, or to omit to take, any action, including with respect to enforcement or collection, except any action it is expressly required to take or omit to take (i) under any Note Document or (ii) pursuant to instructions from the Required Purchasers (or, where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Purchasers).

(b) Right Not to Follow Certain Instructions. Notwithstanding clause (a) above, Agent shall not be required to take, or to omit to take, any action (i) unless, upon demand, Agent receives a written indemnification satisfactory to it from the Purchasers (or, to the extent

applicable and acceptable to Agent, any other Person) against all Liabilities that, by reason of such action or omission, may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent or any Related Person thereof or (ii) that is, in the opinion of Agent or its counsel, contrary to any Note Document or applicable Requirement of Law.

(c) Right to Enforce Rights and Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Note Document, the authority granted to Agent to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Note Documents against the Credit Parties or any of them or otherwise to take any action (or refrain from taking any action) shall be subject to direction by the Required Purchasers and all actions taken by Agent in such capacity shall be in accordance with the Note Documents and for the benefit of all the Purchasers; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Agent) hereunder and under the other Note Documents, (ii) any Purchaser from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.11 or (iii) any Purchaser from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Credit Party under any bankruptcy or other debtor relief law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Agent hereunder and under the other Note Documents, then (x) the Required Purchasers shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to Agent pursuant to Section 7.2 and (y) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 9.11, any Purchaser may, with the consent of the Required Purchasers, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Purchasers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the Purchasers may exercise any right that it might otherwise have under applicable law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar sales or dispositions of any of the Collateral except as authorized by the Required Purchasers. Each Purchaser hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Purchasers, to credit bid and purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC, at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions thereof (including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code) or any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law (whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect, or at any sale or foreclosure conducted by Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with applicable law, provided that to the extent any consideration is received as a result of any such credit bid, each Purchaser shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of such consideration.

(d) Proof of Claims. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under the any Bankruptcy Code or other laws governing an Insolvency Proceeding, Agent shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Purchasers allowed in such judicial proceeding; and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same. Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Purchaser Party to make such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Purchasers, to pay to Agent any amount due for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agent under this Agreement and the other Note Documents.

8.4 Delegation of Rights and Duties. Agent may, upon any term or condition it specifies, but with notice to the Purchasers, delegate or exercise any of its rights, powers and remedies under, and delegate or perform any of its duties or any other action with respect to, any Note Document by or through any trustee, co-agent, employee, attorney-in-fact and any other Person (including any Secured Party); provided, however, that any such Person receiving payments from a Credit Party shall be a “U.S. person” and a “financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1. Any such Person shall benefit from this Article VIII to the extent provided by Agent and otherwise be bound by the obligations of Agent under this Article VIII as applicable.

8.5 Reliance and Liability.

(a) Agent may, without incurring any liability hereunder, (i) treat the payee of any Note as its holder until such Note has been assigned in accordance with Section 9.9, (ii) rely on the Register to the extent set forth in Section 1.4, (iii) consult with any of its Related Persons and, whether or not selected by it, any other advisors, accountants and other experts (including advisors to, and accountants and experts engaged by, any Credit Party) and (iv) rely and act upon any document and information (including those transmitted by Electronic Transmission) and any telephone message or conversation, in each case believed by it to be genuine and transmitted, signed or otherwise authenticated by the appropriate parties.

(b) None of Agent and its Related Persons shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with any Note Document, and each Secured Party, Holdings, the Issuer and each other Credit Party hereby waive and shall not assert (and each of Holdings and the Issuer shall cause each other Credit Party to waive and agree not to assert) any right, claim or cause of action based thereon, except to the extent of liabilities resulting primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person (each as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) in connection with the duties expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the foregoing, Agent and its Related Persons:

(i) shall not be responsible or otherwise incur liability for any action or omission taken in reliance upon the instructions of the Required Purchasers or for the actions or omissions of any of its Related Persons selected with reasonable care (other than employees, officers and directors of Agent, when acting on behalf of Agent);

(ii) shall not be responsible to any Purchaser or other Person for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Note Document;

(iii) makes no warranty or representation, and shall not be responsible, to any Purchaser or other Person for any statement, document, information, representation or warranty made or furnished by or on behalf of any Credit Party or any Related Person

of any Credit Party in connection with any Note Document or any transaction contemplated therein or any other document or information with respect to any Credit Party, whether or not transmitted or (except for documents expressly required under any Note Document to be transmitted to the Purchasers) omitted to be transmitted by Agent, including as to completeness, accuracy, scope or adequacy thereof, or for the scope, nature or results of any due diligence performed by Agent in connection with the Note Documents;

(iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any provision of any Note Document, whether any condition set forth in any Note Document is satisfied or waived, as to the financial condition of any Credit Party or as to the existence or continuation or possible occurrence or continuation of any Default or Event of Default and shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of such occurrence or continuation unless it has received a notice from the Issuer or any Purchaser describing such Default or Event of Default clearly labeled “notice of default” (in which case Agent shall promptly give notice of such receipt to all Purchasers); and

(v) shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Credit Parties or their Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity other than as Agent.

and, for each of the items set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above, each Purchaser, Holdings and the Issuer hereby waives and agrees not to assert (and each of Holdings and the Issuer shall cause each other Credit Party to waive and agree not to assert) any right, claim or cause of action it might have against Agent based thereon.

8.6 Agent Individually. Agent and its Affiliates may make loans and other extensions of credit to, acquire Stock and Stock Equivalents of, engage in any kind of business with, any Credit Party or Affiliate thereof as though it were not acting as Agent and may receive separate fees and other payments therefor. To the extent Agent or any of its Affiliates makes any Term Loan or otherwise becomes a Purchaser hereunder, it shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and shall be subject to the same obligations and liabilities as any other Purchaser and the terms “Purchaser” and “Required Purchasers”, and any similar terms shall, except where otherwise expressly provided in any Note Document, include, without limitation, Agent or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its individual capacity as a Purchaser or as one of the Required Purchasers, respectively.

8.7 Purchaser Credit Decision.

(a) Each Purchaser acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any Purchaser or any of their Related Persons or upon any document (including any offering and disclosure materials in connection with the syndication of the Term Loans) solely or in part because such document was transmitted by Agent or any of its Related Persons, conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Credit Party and make and continue to make its own credit decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any action under, any Note Document or with respect to any transaction contemplated in any Note Document, in each case based on such documents and

information as it shall deem appropriate. Except for documents expressly required by any Note Document to be transmitted by Agent to the Purchasers, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Purchaser with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, Property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party that may come in to the possession of Agent or any of its Related Persons.

(b) If any Purchaser has elected to abstain from receiving MNPI concerning the Credit Parties or their Affiliates, such Purchaser acknowledges that, notwithstanding such election, Agent and/or the Credit Parties will, from time to time, make available syndicate-information (which may contain MNPI) as required by the terms of, or in the course of administering the Term Loans to the credit contact(s) identified for receipt of such information on such Purchaser’s administrative questionnaire who are able to receive and use all syndicate-level information (which may contain MNPI) in accordance with such Purchaser’s compliance policies and contractual obligations and applicable law, including federal and state securities laws; provided that if such contact is not so identified in such questionnaire, the relevant Purchaser hereby agrees to promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) provide such a contact to Agent and the Credit Parties upon request therefor by Agent or the Credit Parties. Notwithstanding such Purchaser’s election to abstain from receiving MNPI, such Purchaser acknowledges that if such Purchaser chooses to communicate with Agent, it assumes the risk of receiving MNPI concerning the Credit Parties or their Affiliates.

8.8 Expenses; Indemnities.

(a) Each Purchaser agrees to reimburse Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Credit Party) promptly upon demand, severally and ratably, for any costs and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and Other Taxes paid in the name of, or on behalf of, any Credit Party) that may be incurred by Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification, consent, waiver or enforcement of, or the taking of any other action (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding (including preparation for and/or response to any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto) or otherwise) in respect of, or legal advice with respect to, its rights or responsibilities under, any Note Document.

(b) Each Purchaser further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not timely reimbursed by any Credit Party), severally and ratably, from and against Liabilities (including Taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to or for the account of any Purchaser) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent or any of its Related Persons in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Note Document, any Related Document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent or any of its Related Persons under or with respect to any of the foregoing; provided that no Purchaser shall be liable to Agent or any of its Related Persons to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.

(c) To the extent required by any Requirement of Law, Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under a Loan Document an amount equal to any applicable withholding Tax (including withholding Taxes imposed under Chapters 3 and 4 of Subtitle A of the Code). If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate certification form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or fails to establish an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax with respect to a particular type of payment, or because such Lender failed to notify Agent or any other Person of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective,), or Agent reasonably determines that it was required to withhold Taxes from a prior payment but failed to do so, such Lender shall, on an individual basis and not with regard to any other Lender, promptly indemnify Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent as Tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and together with all expenses incurred by Agent, including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses. Agent may offset against any payment to any Lender under a Loan Document, any applicable withholding Tax that was required to be withheld from any prior payment to such Lender but which was not so withheld, as well as any other amounts for which Agent is entitled to indemnification from such Lender under this Section 8.8(c).

8.9 Resignation/Removal of Agent.

(a) Agent may resign at any time by delivering thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such resignation to the Purchasers and the Issuer, which resignation shall be effective on the date set forth in such notice (which date shall be no earlier than the thirtieth (30th) day following delivery of such written notice to Purchasers and the Issuer) or, if no such date is set forth therein, upon the date such notice shall be effective (which date shall be no earlier than the thirtieth (30th) day following delivery of such written notice to Purchasers and the Issuer). Any Person may be removed as Agent at any time upon written notice of removal to Agent and the Issuer by the Required Purchasers. If the Required Purchasers deliver any such notice of removal or Agent delivers any such notice of resignation, the Required Purchasers shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent (at the cost of the Issuer) which successor, absent the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, must be acceptable to the Issuer unless such successor is a Purchaser or an Affiliate of a Purchaser (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If (i) within thirty (30) days after the effective date of any such resignation or removal of Agent, no successor Agent has been appointed by the Required Purchasers that has accepted such appointment, then any Purchaser may (but shall not be obligated to) appoint (with the prior written consent of the Required Purchasers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) a successor Agent, and (ii) within sixty (60) days after the effective date of any such resignation or removal of Agent, no successor Agent has been appointed, then any Purchaser may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a replacement Agent.

(b) Immediately upon the effectiveness of its resignation or removal, (i) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from performing its duties and obligations under the Note Documents, (ii) the Purchasers shall assume and perform all of the duties of Agent until

a successor Agent shall have accepted a valid appointment hereunder, (iii) except for the rights of indemnification, payment and reimbursement which accrue to the retiring Agent prior to resignation or removal, the retiring or removed Agent and its Related Persons shall no longer have the benefit of any provision of any Note Document other than with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken while such retiring or removed Agent was, or because such Agent had been, validly acting as Agent under the Note Documents and (iv) subject to all rights of the retiring or removed Agent under this Agreement and all other Note Documents, the Credit Parties and the Secured Parties shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary in connection with the appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and to assign to the successor Agent the rights of the retiring or removed Agent (as such) under the Note Documents, and, until a successor Agent exists the Credit Parties and the Secured Parties shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all rights and remedies available to Agent extend to and may be exercised by the Required Purchasers, which successor Agent shall be a “U.S. person” and a “financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1, or an Affiliate of such Person with an office in the United States which office may under applicable law assume primary withholding responsibility under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1. Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as Agent, a successor Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent under the Note Documents.

8.10 Release of Collateral or Guarantors. Each Purchaser hereby consents to the release and hereby directs Agent to release (or, in the case of clause (c)(ii) below, release or subordinate) the following:

(a) any Subsidiary of the Issuer from its guaranty of any Obligation if all of the Stock and Stock Equivalents of such Subsidiary owned by any Credit Party are sold or transferred in a transaction permitted under the Note Documents (including pursuant to a waiver or consent), to the extent that, after giving effect to such transaction, such Subsidiary would not be required to guaranty any Obligations pursuant to Section 4.13;

(b) provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Domestic Subsidiary of the Issuer from its guaranty of any Obligation if the Subsidiary becomes an Excluded Domestic Subsidiary or a Foreign Subsidiary; and

(c) any Lien held by Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against (i) any Collateral that is sold, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of by a Credit Party in a transaction permitted by the Note Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), to the extent all Liens required to be granted in such Collateral pursuant to Section 4.13 after giving effect to such transaction have been granted, (ii) any property subject to a Lien permitted hereunder in reliance upon Section 5.1(h) or (i) and (iii) all of the Collateral and all Credit Parties, upon (A) payment and satisfaction in full of all Loans and all other Obligations under the Note Documents and Agent’s receipt of written acknowledgement thereof by each Purchaser (other than the Purchaser that acts as Agent), (B) deposit of cash collateral with respect to all contingent Obligations in amounts and on terms and conditions and with parties satisfactory to the Required Purchasers and each Indemnitee that is, or may be, owed such Obligations (excluding contingent Obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) and (C) to the extent requested by Agent or the Required Purchasers, receipt by Agent and the Secured Parties of liability releases from the Credit Parties each in form and substance acceptable to the Required Purchasers.

Each Purchaser hereby directs Agent, and Agent hereby agrees, upon receipt of reasonable advance notice from the Issuer, to execute and deliver or file such documents and to perform other actions reasonably necessary to release the guaranties and Liens when and as directed in this Section 8.10.

8.11 Additional Secured Parties. The benefit of the provisions of the Note Documents directly relating to the Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder shall extend to and be available to any Secured Party that is not a Purchaser Party hereto as long as, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Party agrees, as among Agent and all other Secured Parties, that such Secured Party is bound by (and, if requested by Agent, shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and substance acceptable to Agent) this Article VIII, Section 9.3, Section 9.9, Section 9.10, Section 9.11, Section 9.17, Section 9.24 and Section 10.1 and the decisions and actions of Agent and the Required Purchasers (or, where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Purchasers or other parties hereto as required herein) to the same extent a Purchaser is bound; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) such Secured Party shall be bound by Section 8.8 only to the extent of Liabilities, costs and expenses with respect to or otherwise relating to the Collateral held for the benefit of such Secured Party, in which case the obligations of such Secured Party thereunder shall not be limited by any concept of pro rata share or similar concept, (b) each of Agent and the Purchasers party hereto shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion, without regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of whether any Obligation to such Secured Party thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party or any such Obligation and (c) except as otherwise set forth herein, such Secured Party shall not have any right to be notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Note Document.

(iii) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the latest maturity date of the Term Loans extended thereby and no principal payments with respect thereto shall be required to be made prior to the latest maturity date of the Term Loans extended thereby;

(iv) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby;

(v) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than pro rata basis) with non-extended tranches of Term Loans in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer; and

(vi) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the outstanding principal amount thereof) in respect of which Purchasers shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans offered to be extended by the Issuer pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans of such Purchasers shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal or commitment amounts with respect to which such Purchasers have accepted such Extension Offer.

With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Issuer pursuant to this Section, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 1.7 or 1.8 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that the Issuer may at its election specify as a condition to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Issuer’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Issuer) of Term Loans of any or all applicable tranches be tendered. The Purchasers hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth

in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement or any other Note Document that may otherwise prohibit or conflict with any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section.

No consent of any Purchaser or Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of each Purchaser agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Term Loans (or a portion thereof). All Extended Term Loans and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Note Documents and secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations. The Purchasers hereby irrevocably authorize the Required Purchasers to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Note Documents with the Issuer (on behalf of all Credit Parties) as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Required Purchasers and the Issuer in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions the applicable Credit Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and Agent and the Required Purchasers are hereby directed by the Purchasers to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the later of the then latest maturity date of the Term Loans so that such maturity date referenced therein is extended to the later of the then latest maturity date of the Term Loans (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Purchasers). The Issuer shall promptly notify each Purchaser and Agent of the effectiveness of each such amendment.

In connection with any Extension, the Issuer shall provide each Purchaser at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Required Purchasers) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Required Purchasers, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 9.1(e).

This Section 9.1(e) shall supersede any provisions of this Section 9.1 or Section 9.11 to the contrary.

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

Each Credit Party agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) each Purchaser and each Related Party of any of the Purchasers (each, a “Purchaser Indemnitee”) and Agent and each Related Party of Agent (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”; together with the Purchaser Indemnitees, each an “Indemnitee” and collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against all Liabilities (including brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation (but limited, in the case of Attorney Costs, to Attorney Costs of (a) one law firm or other external counsel, one local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction, and, to the extent reasonably necessary, special or regulatory counsel for all Purchaser Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, solely, in the event of an actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional law firm or other external counsel and one additional local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction to each group of similarly situated

affected Purchaser Indemnitees; and (b) one law firm or other external counsel for all Agent Indemnitees that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee (whether brought by a Credit Party, an Affiliate of a Credit Party or any other Person) in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of (i) any Note Document, any Related Agreement, any Obligation (or the repayment thereof), the use or intended use of the proceeds of any Term Loan or any securities filing of, or with respect to, any Credit Party, (ii) any commitment letter, proposal letter or term sheet with any Person or any Contractual Obligation, arrangement or understanding with any broker, finder or consultant, in each case entered into by or on behalf of any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any of them in connection with any of the foregoing and any Contractual Obligation entered into in connection with any E-Systems or other Electronic Transmissions, (iii) with respect to any act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to either of the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii), any actual or prospective investigation, litigation or other proceeding, whether or not brought by any such Indemnitee or any of its Related Persons, any holders of securities or creditors (and including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees in any case), whether or not any such Indemnitee, Related Person, holder or creditor is a party thereto, and whether or not based on any securities or commercial law or regulation or any other Requirement of Law or theory thereof, including common law, equity, contract, tort or otherwise, or (iv) any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided that no Credit Party shall have any liability under this Section 9.6 to an Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter, and no Indemnitee shall have any liability with respect to any Indemnified Matter other than (to the extent otherwise liable), to the extent such liability (i) is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order to have resulted primarily from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or a breach by such Indemnitee of its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) results from a dispute among Indemnitees that does not involve an action or omission by any of the Credit Parties (other than a claim against an Indemnitee solely in its capacity as Agent (or any sub-agent therefor) and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission of the Credit Parties or their Subsidiaries). Furthermore, each of the Issuer and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement waives and agrees not to assert against any Indemnitee, and shall cause each other Credit Party to waive and not assert against any Indemnitee, any right of contribution with respect to any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Related Person. This Section 9.6 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non- Tax claim.

9.7 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. No Secured Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any Property in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any Obligation. To the extent that any Secured Party receives a payment from the Issuer, from any other Credit Party, from the proceeds of the Collateral, from the exercise of its rights of setoff, any enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in whole or in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not occurred.

9.8 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that any assignment by any Purchaser shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.9, and provided, further, that the Issuer may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent and each Purchaser.

9.9 Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect.

(a) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Holdings, the Issuer, and the other Credit Parties signatory hereto and each Purchaser. Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, but only to the benefit of, Holdings, the Issuer, the other Credit Parties hereto (in each case except for Article VIII), Agent and each Purchaser receiving the benefits of the Note Documents and, to the extent provided in Section 8.11, each other Secured Party and, in each case, their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly provided in any Note Document (including in Section 8.9), none of Holdings, the Issuer, any other Credit Party or Agent shall have the right to assign any rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein.

(b) Right to Assign; Assignments to a Restricted Purchaser. Each Purchaser may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign (a “Sale”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitments and its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans) to (i) any existing Purchaser, (ii) any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Purchaser or (iii) any other Person acceptable (which acceptance shall, in each case, not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the Required Purchasers and, as long as no Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) (other than the Current Default), 7.1(f) or 7.1(g) is continuing, the Issuer (which acceptance the Issuer shall be deemed to have been given unless an objection is delivered to the Purchasers and the assigning Purchaser within five (5) Business Days after notice of a proposed Sale is delivered to the Issuer) (it being understood and agreed that Sales to Restricted Purchasers are permitted subject to the last two sentences of the first paragraph of this Section 9.9(b) and other provisions of this Agreement); provided that (w) such Sales do not have to be ratable between the Other Term Loans and any Term Loans that are not Other Term Loans, (x) for each Term Loan, the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment) of the Term Loans subject to any such Sale shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, unless such Sale is made to an existing Purchaser or an Affiliate

or Approved Fund of any existing Purchaser, is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) entire interest in such facility or is made with the prior consent of the Issuer (to the extent the Issuer’s consent is otherwise required) and the Required Purchasers, and (y) interest accrued prior to and through the date of any such Sale may not be assigned. Refusal by the Required Purchasers to accept a Sale to a Credit Party, an Affiliate of a Credit Party (other than Sales to Restricted Purchasers to the extent not prohibited by this Section 9.9(b) and other provisions of this Agreement), a holder of Subordinated Indebtedness or First Lien Indebtedness or an Affiliate of such a holder, or the imposition of conditions or limitations (including limitations on voting) upon Sales to such Persons, shall not be deemed to be unreasonable. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary provided in this Agreement, (a) no Term Loan may be assigned to, or in any way acquired or held by, a Restricted Purchaser or participation in a Term Loan granted to a Restricted Purchaser Participant if, after giving effect to such assignment or participation, as applicable, all Restricted Purchasers and Restricted Purchaser Participants would own or participate in, as applicable, an amount in excess of 10% in aggregate of all Term Loans then outstanding; (b) no more than two Restricted Purchasers or Restricted Purchaser Participants shall be permitted to hold or participate in Term Loans and the number of Restricted Purchasers and Restricted Purchaser Participants shall not constitute 50% or more of the number of Purchasers hereunder at such time; and (c) in the event of an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Restricted Purchaser, such Restricted Purchaser shall execute and deliver to Agent, the Purchasers, the Issuer and the assigning Purchaser an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 11.1(a)-2 hereto (a “Restricted Purchaser Assignment Agreement”) in lieu of an Assignment Agreement. Each Restricted Purchaser, solely in its capacity as a Purchaser or holder of Term Loans, hereby agrees, and each Restricted Purchaser Assignment Agreement shall provide a confirmation that, if any Credit Party shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding, with respect to any matter requiring the vote of Purchasers or holders of any such Term Loans during the pendency of any such Insolvency Proceeding (including voting on any plan of reorganization pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §1126), such Term Loans held by such Restricted Purchaser (and any claim with respect thereto) shall be deemed assigned for all purposes to Agent, which shall cast such vote in accordance with Section 9.1(d); provided that such Restricted Purchaser shall retain the right to exercise any voting or consent rights of such Restricted Purchaser in any Insolvency Proceeding to the extent the matter being voted on or consented to would disproportionately and adversely affect the rights of such Restricted Purchaser in relation to all of the Purchasers that are not Restricted Purchasers collectively. For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchasers and each Restricted Purchaser agree and acknowledge that the provisions set forth in this Section 9.9(b), and the related provisions set forth in each Restricted Purchaser Assignment Agreement, constitute a “subordination agreement” as such term is contemplated by, and utilized in, Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, and, as such, would be enforceable for all purposes in any case where a Credit Party has filed for protection under the Bankruptcy Code.

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary provided herein, no Purchaser shall be permitted to assign any Term Loan to any Disqualified Person. Agent, each Purchaser and each assignor of a Term Loan hereunder shall be entitled to rely conclusively on a representation of the assignee Purchaser in the relevant Assignment Agreement that such assignee is not a Disqualified Person, provided that such reliance by such assignor is in good faith and reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time of the Sale. Neither Agent nor any Purchaser shall have any responsibility or liability for monitoring the list or identities of, or enforcing provisions relating to, Disqualified Persons.

(c) Procedure. The parties to each Sale made in reliance on clause (b) above (other than those described in clause (e) or (f) below) shall execute and deliver to Agent, the Purchasers and the Issuer an Assignment (which may be via an electronic settlement system designated by the Required Purchasers or via a manual execution and delivery of the Assignment) evidencing such Sale, together with any existing Note subject to such Sale (or any affidavit of loss customarily used by the Purchaser making such Sale, as applicable) and any Tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 10.1 and payment of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 to Agent. Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt and, if such Assignment is made in accordance with clause (iii) of Section 9.9(b), upon the Required Purchasers (and the Issuer, if applicable) consenting to such Assignment, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, the Registrar shall record or cause to be recorded in the Register the information contained in such Assignment.

(d) Effectiveness. Subject to the recording of an Assignment by the Registrar in the Register pursuant to Section 1.4(b), (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Note Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment, shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser, (ii) any applicable Note shall be transferred to such assignee through such entry and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of the Term Loan Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Note Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Purchaser’s rights and obligations under the Note Documents, such Purchaser shall cease to be a party hereto).

(e) Grant of Security Interests. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 9.9, each Purchaser may directly or indirectly pledge, grant a security interest in, and/or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under its Notes, this Agreement and the other Note Documents, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Term Loans), to (A) any federal reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board), or (B) any holder of, or trustee or agent for the benefit of the holders of, Indebtedness or equity securities of such Purchaser or its Affiliates, in each case without notice to Agent or any Purchaser; provided that no such holder, agent or trustee, whether because of such grant or assignment or any foreclosure thereon (unless such foreclosure is made through an assignment in accordance with clause (b) above), shall be entitled to any rights of such Purchaser hereunder and no such Purchaser shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder.

(f) Participants and SPVs. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 9.9, each Purchaser may, (x) with notice to Agent and the other Purchasers, grant to an SPV the option to make all or any part of any Term Loan that such Purchaser would otherwise be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by such SPV and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy the obligation of such Purchaser to make such Term Loans hereunder) and such SPV may assign to such Purchaser the right to receive payment with respect to any Obligation and (y) without notice to (other than with respect to any such participation to a Restricted Purchaser Participant, which participation shall be permitted only to the extent that a written notice with respect thereto shall have been provided to Agent and the other Purchasers at

least three (3) Business Days prior to such participation) or consent from Agent or the Issuer, sell participations to one or more Persons other than a Credit Party, an Affiliate of a Credit Party or a First Lien Lender (in each case, other than a Restricted Purchaser Participant in accordance with the provisions hereof) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Note Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans); provided that, whether as a result of any term of any Note Document or of such grant or participation, (i) no such SPV or participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Loans hereunder, and, except as provided in the applicable option agreement, none shall be liable for any obligation of such Purchaser hereunder, (ii) such Purchaser’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Credit Parties and the Secured Parties towards such Purchaser, under any Note Document shall remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Purchaser, which shall remain the holder of the Obligations in the Register, except that (A) each such participant and SPV shall be entitled to the benefit of Article X, but, with respect to Section 10.1, only to the extent such participant or SPV delivers the tax forms such Purchaser is required to collect pursuant to Section 10.1(f) and then only to the extent of any amount to which such Purchaser would be entitled in the absence of any such grant or participation and (B) each such SPV may receive other payments that would otherwise be made to such Purchaser with respect to Loans funded by such SPV to the extent provided in the applicable option agreement and set forth in a notice provided to Agent and the other Purchasers by such SPV and such Purchaser, provided that in no case (including pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above) shall an SPV or participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Note Document, (iii) such grant to an SPV or a participation shall be appropriately reflected in the Participant Register and shall not be effective until so registered and (iv) the consent of such SPV or participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Purchaser’s ability to consent hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any Note Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Purchaser may have under or in respect of the Note Documents (including the right to enforce or direct enforcement of the Obligations), except for those described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 9.1(a) with respect to amounts, or dates fixed for payment of amounts, to which such participant or SPV would otherwise be entitled and, in the case of participants, except for those described in clause (vi) of Section 9.1(a); provided that each Restricted Purchaser Participant shall be deemed to grant or withhold consent under its participation with respect to any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any Note Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights under or in respect of the Note Documents in the same manner in which a Restricted Purchaser is deemed to vote in accordance with Section 9.1(b) (and each participation agreement with respect to a participation to a Restricted Purchaser Participant must provide for such deemed consent or withholding of consent). No party hereto shall institute (and the Issuer and Holdings shall cause each other Credit Party not to institute) against any SPV grantee of an option pursuant to this clause (f) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper of such SPV; provided that each Purchaser having designated an SPV as such agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against any Liability that may be incurred by, or asserted against, such Indemnitee as a result of failing to institute such proceeding (including a failure to get reimbursed by such SPV for any such Liability). The agreement in the preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Term Loan Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations. Each Purchaser that makes a grant to an SPV or sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary

agent of the Issuer, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Term Loans or other obligations under the Note Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Purchaser shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Note Document) to any Person other than Agent except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations, or is otherwise required thereunder. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Purchaser shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such SPV grant or such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary provided herein, no Purchaser shall be permitted to sell participations with respect to Term Loans to a Disqualified Person.

9.10 Non-Public Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Non-Public Information. Each of Agent and each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it may receive material non-public information (“MNPI”) hereunder concerning the Credit Parties and their Affiliates and agrees to use such information in compliance with all relevant policies, procedures and applicable Requirements of Laws (including United States federal and state securities laws and regulations).

(b) Confidential Information. Each Purchaser and Agent agrees to use all reasonable efforts to maintain, in accordance with its customary practices, the confidentiality of information obtained by it pursuant to any Note Document, except that such information may be disclosed (i) with the Issuer’s consent, (ii) to Related Persons of such Purchaser or Agent, as the case may be, that are advised of the confidential nature of such information and are instructed to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms hereof, (iii) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes (A) publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.10 or (B) available to such Purchaser or Agent or any of their Related Persons, as the case may be, from a source (other than any Credit Party) not known by them to be subject to disclosure restrictions, (iv) to the extent disclosure is required by applicable Requirements of Law or other legal process or requested or demanded by any Governmental Authority, (v) to the extent necessary or customary for inclusion in league table measurements, (vi) (A) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, any examiner or any nationally recognized rating agency or (B) otherwise to the extent consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify Credit Parties, (vii) to current or prospective assignees or SPVs (including the investors or prospective investors therein) or participants, financing sources and to their respective Related Persons, in each case to the extent such assignees, SPVs, investors, participants, financing sources or Related Persons agree to be bound by provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this Section 9.10 (and such Person may disclose information to their respective Related Persons in accordance with clause (ii) above), (viii) to any other party hereto, and (ix) in connection with the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy under any Note Document, in connection with any litigation or other proceeding to which such Purchaser or Agent or any of their Related Persons is a party or bound, or to the extent

necessary to respond to public statements or disclosures by Credit Parties or their Related Persons referring to a Purchaser or Agent or any of their Related Persons. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 9.10 and those of any other Contractual Obligation entered into with any Credit Party (whether or not a Note Document), the terms of this Section 9.10 shall govern.

(c) Tombstones. Subject to the following sentence, each Credit Party consents to the publication by any Purchaser of any tombstones, advertising or other promotional materials (including via any Electronic Transmission) relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using in a reasonable manner such Credit Party’s name, product photographs, logo or trademark. Such Purchaser shall provide a draft of any such advertising or other promotional material to the Issuer for review, comment and approval prior to the publication thereof.

(d) Press Release and Related Matters. No Credit Party shall, and no Credit Party shall permit any of its Affiliates to, issue any press release or other public disclosure (other than any document filed with any Governmental Authority relating to a public offering of securities of any Credit Party) using the name, logo or otherwise referring to any Purchaser or any of their Affiliates, the Note Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein to which any Purchaser or any of their Affiliates is party without the prior written consent of such Purchaser or such Affiliate, except to the extent required to do so under applicable Requirements of Law and then, only after consulting with the Purchasers.

(e) Distribution of Materials to Purchasers. The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that the Note Documents and all reports, notices, communications and other information or materials provided or delivered by, or on behalf of, the Credit Parties hereunder (collectively, the “the Issuer Materials”) may be disseminated by, or on behalf of, Agent and the Purchasers by posting such the Issuer Materials on an E-System. The Credit Parties authorize Agent and the Purchasers to download copies of their logos from its website and post copies thereof on an E-System.

(f) Material Non-Public Information. The Credit Parties hereby agree that if either they, any parent company or any Subsidiary of the Credit Parties has publicly traded equity or debt securities in the United States, they shall (and shall cause such parent company or Subsidiary, as the case may be, to) use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) identify in writing, and (ii) to the extent reasonably practicable, clearly and conspicuously mark such the Issuer Materials that contain only information that is publicly available or that is not material for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws as “PUBLIC”. The Credit Parties agree that by identifying such the Issuer Materials as “PUBLIC” or publicly filing such the Issuer Materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission, then Agent and the Purchasers shall be entitled to treat such the Issuer Materials as not containing any MNPI for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws. The Credit Parties further represent, warrant, acknowledge and agree that the following documents and materials shall be deemed to be PUBLIC, whether or not so marked, and do not contain any MNPI: (A) the Note Documents, including the schedules and exhibits attached thereto, and (B) administrative materials of a customary nature prepared by the Credit Parties or Agent (including, Notices of Borrowing, Notices of Conversion/Continuation and any similar requests or notices posted on or through an E-System). Before distribution of any the Issuer Materials, the Credit Parties agree to execute and deliver to Agent and each Purchaser a letter

authorizing distribution of the evaluation materials to prospective Purchasers and their employees willing to receive MNPI, and a separate letter authorizing distribution of evaluation materials that do not contain MNPI and represent that no MNPI is contained therein.

9.11 Set-off; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Right of Setoff. Each of Agent (solely in its capacity as such), each Purchaser and each Affiliate (including each branch office thereof) of any of them is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by each Credit Party), at any time and from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness, claims or other obligations at any time owing by Agent, such Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Issuer or any other Credit Party against any Obligation of any Credit Party now or hereafter existing, whether or not any demand was made under any Note Document with respect to such Obligation and even though such Obligation may be unmatured. No Purchaser shall exercise any such right of setoff without the prior consent of the Required Purchasers. Each of Agent and each Purchaser agrees promptly to notify the Issuer and each Purchaser after any such setoff and application made by such Purchaser or its Affiliates; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights under this Section 9.11 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that Agent, the Purchasers, their Affiliates and the other Secured Parties, may have.

(b) Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Purchaser, directly or through an Affiliate or branch office thereof, obtains any payment of any Obligation of any Credit Party (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of any Collateral or “proceeds” (as defined under the applicable UCC) of Collateral) other than pursuant to Section 9.9 or Article X and such payment exceeds the amount such Purchaser would have otherwise been entitled to receive in accordance with the provisions of the Note Documents, such Purchaser shall purchase for cash from other Purchasers such participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Purchaser to share such excess payment with such Purchasers to ensure such payment is applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if such application would then be at the discretion of the Issuer, applied to repay the Obligations in accordance herewith); provided that (a) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Purchaser in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Purchaser without interest and (b) such Purchaser shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Purchaser were the direct creditor of the applicable Credit Party in the amount of such participation.

9.12 Counterparts; Facsimile Signature. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or Electronic Transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

the Required Purchasers to be necessary or appropriate to exercise rights or remedies under the Note Documents. The parties hereto (and, to the extent set forth in any other Note Document, each other Credit Party) hereby irrevocably waive any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, that any of them may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such jurisdictions.

9.20 Entire Agreement; Release; Survival.

(a) THE NOTE DOCUMENTS EMBODY THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES AND SUPERSEDE ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER THEREOF AND ANY PRIOR LETTER OF INTEREST, COMMITMENT LETTER, CONFIDENTIALITY AND SIMILAR AGREEMENTS INVOLVING ANY CREDIT PARTY AND ANY PURCHASER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES RELATING TO A FINANCING OF SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM, PURPOSE OR EFFECT.

(b) Execution of this Agreement by the Credit Parties constitutes a full, complete and irrevocable release of any and all claims which each Credit Party may have at law or in equity in respect of all prior discussions and understandings, oral or written, relating to the

subject matter of this Agreement and the other Note Documents. In no event shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). Each of the Issuer and each other Credit Party signatory hereto hereby waives, releases and agrees (and shall cause each other Credit Party to waive, release and agree) not to sue upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

(c) (i) Any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.20, Sections 9.5 (Costs and Expenses), and 9.6 (Indemnity), and Article VIII (Agent) and Article X (Taxes, Yield Protection and Illegality), and (ii) the provisions of Section 8.1 of the Guaranty and Security Agreement, in each case, shall (x) survive the termination of the Term Loan Commitments and the payment in full of all other Obligations and (y) with respect to clause (i) above, inure to the benefit of any Person that at any time held a right thereunder (as an Indemnitee or otherwise) and, thereafter, its successors and permitted assigns.

9.21 PATRIOT Act. Each Purchaser that is subject to the PATRIOT Act hereby notifies the Credit Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Purchaser to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

9.22 Replacement of Purchaser. Within forty-five (45) days after: (i) receipt by the Issuer of written notice and demand from any Purchaser (an “Affected Purchaser”) for payment of additional costs as provided in Sections 10.1, 10.3 and/or 10.6; or (ii) any failure by any Purchaser (other than Agent or an Affiliate of Agent) to consent to a requested amendment, waiver or modification to any Note Document in which Required Purchasers have already consented to such amendment, waiver or modification but the consent of each Purchaser (or each Purchaser directly affected thereby, as applicable) is required with respect thereto, the Issuer may, at its option, notify such Affected Purchaser (or such non-consenting Purchaser) of the Issuer’s intention to obtain, at the Issuer’s expense, a replacement Purchaser (“Replacement Purchaser”) for such Affected Purchaser (or such non-consenting Purchaser), which Replacement Purchaser shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Purchasers. In the event the Issuer obtains a Replacement Purchaser within forty-five (45) days following notice of its intention to do so, the Affected Purchaser (or such non-consenting Purchaser) shall sell and assign its Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments to such Replacement Purchaser, at par, provided that the Issuer has reimbursed such Affected Purchaser for its increased costs, if any, for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment. In the event that a replaced Purchaser does not execute an Assignment pursuant to Section 9.9 within five (5) Business Days after receipt by such replaced Purchaser of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section 9.22 and presentation to such replaced Purchaser of an Assignment evidencing an assignment pursuant to this Section 9.22, the Issuer shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute such an Assignment on behalf of such replaced Purchaser, and any such Assignment so executed by the Issuer and the Replacement Purchaser, shall be effective for purposes of this Section 9.22 and Section 9.9. Upon any such assignment and payment and compliance with the other provisions of Section 9.9, such replaced Purchaser shall no longer constitute a “Purchaser” for purposes hereof; provided that any rights of such replaced Purchaser to indemnification hereunder shall survive.

9.23 Joint and Several. The obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder and under the other Note Documents are joint and several. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reference is hereby made to Article II of the Guaranty and Security Agreement, to which the obligations of the Issuer and the other Credit Parties are subject.

9.24 Creditor-Debtor Relationship. The relationship between Agent and each Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. No Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Credit Party arising out of or in connection with, and there is no agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship between the Secured Parties and the Credit Parties by virtue of, any Note Document or any transaction contemplated therein.

9.25 Nature of Purchase. Each Purchaser severally represents as to itself (only) that it: (1) is an Accredited Investor, (2) is not acquiring the Notes to be purchased by it hereunder with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act, and (3) understands that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and the Notes may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto understand that the disposition of each Purchaser’s property shall at all times be and remain within its control.

ARTICLE X

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

10.1 Taxes.

(a) Except as required by a Requirement of Law, each payment by any Credit Party under any Note Document shall be made free and clear of all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings (including backup withholding), assessments, fees or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority, including any interest, additions to tax, penalties or other Liabilities) with respect thereto (collectively, “Taxes”).

(b) If any Taxes shall be required by any Requirement of Law to be deducted from or in respect of any amount payable under any Note Document to any Purchaser Party (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, such amount payable shall be increased as necessary to ensure that, after all required deductions for Indemnified Taxes are made (including deductions applicable to any increases to any amount under this Section 10.1), such Purchaser Party receives the amount it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the relevant Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deductions, (iii) the relevant Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iv) within thirty (30) days after such a payment is made to a Governmental Authority by a Credit Party, the relevant Credit Party shall deliver to Agent an original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(c) In addition, the Issuer agrees to pay all present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes that arise from any payment made under, from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, any Note Document, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment, grant of a participation, designation of a new lending office or other transfer (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 9.22) or any other transfer at the request of a Credit Party (collectively, “Other Taxes”). Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Other Taxes by any Credit Party, the Issuer shall furnish to Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.2, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(d) The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally reimburse and indemnify, within thirty (30) days after receipt of demand therefor (with copy to Agent), each Purchaser Party for all Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 10.1) paid or payable by such Purchaser Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Purchaser Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. A certificate of the Purchaser Party (or of Agent on behalf of such Purchaser Party) claiming any compensation under this clause (d), setting forth in reasonable detail the amounts to be paid thereunder and the manner in which such amounts were calculated and delivered to the Issuer with a copy to Agent shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error. In determining such amount, such Purchaser Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(e) Any Purchaser claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if such a change would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Purchaser, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Purchaser.

(f) (i) Each Purchaser that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Note Document shall deliver to the other Purchasers, Agent and the Issuer at the time or times reasonably requested by the Issuer or Agent such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Issuer as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, each Purchaser, if reasonably requested by the Issuer or any other Purchaser or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by a Requirement of Law or reasonably requested by the Issuer or such other Purchaser or Agent as will enable Agent or the Issuer (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Purchaser) to determine whether or not such Purchaser is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 10.1(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B), (ii)(C), (iii) and (v) below) shall not be required if in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Purchaser to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Purchaser (it being understood that providing any information currently required by any U.S. federal income tax withholding form shall not be considered prejudicial to the position of a Purchaser).

(ii) Each Non-U.S. Purchaser Party that, at any of the following times, is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of U.S. withholding Tax shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, (w) on or prior to the date such Non-U.S. Purchaser Party becomes a “Non-U.S. Purchaser Party” hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (f)(ii) and (z) from time to time if requested by Agent or the Issuer (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Purchaser), provide Agent and the Issuer (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Purchaser) with two completed originals of each of the following, as applicable: (A) Forms W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding Tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business) and/or W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding Tax under an income Tax treaty), or any successor forms, (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Purchaser Party claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding Tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 10.1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Purchaser Party is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Issuer within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”), (C) to the extent a Non-U.S. Purchaser Party is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9 and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Purchaser Party is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Purchaser Party are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Purchaser Party may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner or (D) any other applicable document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to the entitlement of such Non-U.S. Purchaser Party to such exemption from U.S. withholding Tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Purchaser Party under the Note Documents. Unless Agent and the Issuer have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Note Document to or for a Non-U.S. Purchaser Party are not subject to U.S. withholding Tax or are subject to such Tax at a rate reduced by an applicable Tax treaty, the Credit Parties shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Requirements of Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

(iii) Each U.S. Purchaser Party shall (A) on or prior to the date such U.S. Purchaser Party becomes a “U.S. Purchaser Party” hereunder, (B) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (C) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (f)(iii) and (D) from time to time if requested by Agent or the Issuer (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant

Purchaser), provide Agent and the Issuer (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Purchaser) with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Purchaser Party is not subject to U.S. backup withholding Tax) or any successor form.

(iv) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.1(f), the obligations of SPVs and participants to provide documents pursuant to this Section 10.1(f) shall be satisfied as follows: each Purchaser having sold a participation in any of its Obligations or identified an SPV as such to Agent shall collect from such participant or SPV the documents described in clause (f)(ii) or (f)(iii) (as applicable) and provide them to Agent.

(v) If a payment made to a Purchaser Party under any Note Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Purchaser Party were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Purchaser Party shall deliver to Agent and the Issuer at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Agent or the Issuer such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Issuer as may be necessary for Agent and the Issuer to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Purchaser Party has complied with such Purchaser Party’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (v), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(vi) On or before the date Agent becomes a party to this Agreement, Agent shall provide to the Issuer, two duly-signed, properly completed copies of the documentation described in clause (i) or (ii) below, as applicable (together with all required attachments thereto); (i) IRS Form W-9 or any successor thereto, or (ii) (A) IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto, and (B) with respect to payments received on account of any Purchaser Party, a U.S. branch withholding certificate on IRS Form W-8IMY or any successor thereto evidencing its agreement with the Issuer to be treated as a U.S. Person for U.S. federal withholding purposes. At any time thereafter, Agent shall provide updated documentation previously provided (or a successor form thereto) when any documentation previously delivered has expired or become obsolete or invalid or otherwise upon the reasonable request of the Issuer.

Each Purchaser Party agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivers expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form, provide such successor form or certification or promptly notify Agent, the Issuer and the Purchasers of its legal inability to do so.

(g) If any Purchaser Party determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 10.1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 10.1(b)), it shall pay to the relevant Credit Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 10.1 with respect to the Taxes giving rise

to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Purchaser Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such Credit Party, upon the request of such Purchaser Party, shall repay to such Purchaser Party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 10.1(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Purchaser Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.1(g), in no event shall the Purchaser Party be required to pay any amount to a Credit Party pursuant to this Section 10.1(g) the payment of which would place the Purchaser Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Purchaser Party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 10.1(g) shall not be construed to require any Purchaser Party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Credit Party or any other Person.

10.2 Illegality. If after the Original Closing Date any Purchaser shall determine that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration thereof, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Purchaser or its Lending Office to make LIBOR Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Purchaser to the Issuer and the other Purchasers, the obligation of that Purchaser to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Purchaser shall have notified the other Purchasers and the Issuer that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exists.

(a) Subject to clause (c) below, if any Purchaser shall determine that it is unlawful to maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, the Issuer shall prepay in full or convert to Base Rate Loans all LIBOR Rate Loan(s) of such Purchaser then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof if such Purchaser may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loan(s) to such day, or immediately, if such Purchaser may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loan(s), together with any amounts required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to Section 10.4.

(b) If the obligation of any Purchaser to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans has been terminated, the Issuer may elect, by giving notice to such Purchaser and the other Purchasers that each Term Loan which would otherwise be made or maintained by any such Purchaser as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be instead a Base Rate Loan.

(c) Before giving any notice to the Issuer and the other Purchasers pursuant to this Section 10.2, the affected Purchaser shall designate a different Lending Office with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loan(s) if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the judgment of such Purchaser, be illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to such Purchaser.

10.3 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.

(a) If any Purchaser shall determine that, due to either (i) the introduction of, or any change in, or in the interpretation of, any Requirement of Law or (ii) the compliance with

any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in the case of either clause (i) or (ii) subsequent to the Original Closing Date, (x) there shall be any increase in the cost to such Purchaser of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loans (other than Taxes) or (y) such Purchaser shall be subject to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, then the Issuer shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, within thirty (30) days of demand therefor by such Purchaser (with a copy of such demand to the other Purchasers), pay to such Purchaser additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Purchaser for such increased costs or such Taxes; provided that the Issuer shall not be required to compensate any Purchaser or pursuant to this Section 10.3(a) for any increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Purchaser notifies the Issuer, in writing of the increased costs and of such Purchaser’s intention to claim compensation thereof; provided, further, that if the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(b) If any Purchaser shall have determined that:

(i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation;

(ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation;

(iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof; or

(iv) compliance by such Purchaser (or its Lending Office) or any entity controlling the Purchaser, with any Capital Adequacy Regulation;

affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Purchaser or any entity controlling such Purchaser and (taking into consideration such Purchaser’s or such entities’ policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Purchaser’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Term Loan Commitment(s), loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, within thirty (30) days of demand of such Purchaser (with a copy to the other Purchasers), the Issuer shall pay to such Purchaser, from time to time as specified by such Purchaser, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Purchaser (or the entity controlling the Purchaser) for such increase; provided that the Issuer shall not be required to compensate any Purchaser pursuant to this Section 10.3(b) for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Purchaser notifies the Issuer, in writing of the amounts and of such Purchaser’s intention to claim compensation thereof; provided, further, that if the event giving rise to such increase is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives

promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case in respect of this clause (ii) pursuant to Basel III, shall, in each case, be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law under Section 10.3(a) above and/or a change in Capital Adequacy Regulation under Section 10.3(b) above, as applicable, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(d) Any Purchaser claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 10.3 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirement of Law), to change the jurisdiction of its lending office if such a change would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Purchaser, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Purchaser.

10.4 Funding Losses. The Issuer agrees to reimburse each Purchaser and to hold each Purchaser harmless from any loss or expense (but excluding lost profits) which such Purchaser may sustain or incur as a consequence of:

(a) the failure of the Issuer to make any payment or mandatory prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan as and when due hereunder (including payments made after any acceleration thereof);

(b) the failure of the Issuer to borrow a Term Loan after the Issuer has delivered a request therefor or to continue or convert a Term Loan after the Issuer has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Conversion/Continuation;

(d) the prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan (including pursuant to Section 1.8) on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto; or

(e) the conversion pursuant to Section 1.6 of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period;

including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loan(s) hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained; provided that, with respect to the expenses described in clauses (d) and (e) above, such Purchaser shall have notified the Issuer of any such expense within two (2) Business Days of the date on which such expense was incurred. Solely for purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Issuer to the Purchasers under this Section 10.4 and under Section 10.3(a): each LIBOR Rate Loan made by a Purchaser (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at the LIBOR rate used in determining the interest rate for such LIBOR Rate Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank Eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Rate Loan is in fact so funded.

10.5 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Purchasers shall have determined in good faith that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR

for any requested Interest Period with respect to the LIBOR Rate Loans or that LIBOR applicable pursuant to Section 1.3(a) for any requested Interest Period with respect to the proposed LIBOR Rate Loans does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Purchasers of funding or maintaining such Term Loans, the Required Purchasers will forthwith give notice of such determination to the Issuer and each Purchaser. Thereafter, the obligation of the Purchasers to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder shall be suspended until the Required Purchasers revoke such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Issuer may revoke any Notice of Conversion/Continuation then submitted by it. If the Issuer does not revoke such notice, the Purchasers shall make, convert or continue the Term Loans, as proposed by the Issuer, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by the Issuer, but such Term Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans.

10.6 Reserves on LIBOR Rate Loans. The Issuer shall pay to each Purchaser, as long as such Purchaser shall be required under regulations of the Federal Reserve Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional costs on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Rate Loan equal to actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Term Loan by such Purchaser (as determined by such Purchaser in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), payable in cash on each date on which interest is payable on such Term Loan provided the Issuer shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice (with a copy to each other Purchaser) of such additional interest from the Purchaser. If a Purchaser fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice.

10.7 Certificates of Purchasers. Any Purchaser claiming reimbursement or compensation pursuant to this Article X shall deliver to the Issuer (with a copy to each other Purchaser) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Purchaser hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Issuer in the absence of manifest error.

(iii) the representations and warranties set forth in the Note Documents are true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifier contained therein) as of the date hereof, and are deemed to be remade as of such consummation of the Closing Date Merger, except to the extent that any such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date (in which event such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifier contained therein) as of such earlier date); and

(iv) from time to time, as and when reasonably requested by the any Purchaser in accordance with the Second Lien Note Purchase Agreement, the Company shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments and agreements and to take or cause to be taken such further or other action as such Purchaser may deem necessary in order to carry out the intent and purposes of this paragraph acknowledgment.
