Section 2.2.1 From time to time on any Business Day occurring from and after the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, each Lender severally agrees through the Administrative Agent to make loans (relative to such Lender, its "Revolving Loans") to the Borrower equal to such Lender's Percentage of the aggregate amount of each Borrowing of the Revolving Loans requested by the Borrower to be made on such day, provided that the making of any such Revolving Loan shall not: (a) cause the Aggregate Outstanding Balance to exceed the Aggregate Commitment; or (b) cause the Aggregate Outstanding Balance to exceed the Available Commitment, in each case after giving effect to such Revolving Loan. The commitment of each such Lender described in this Section 2.2 is herein referred to as its "Revolving Loan Commitment."

Section 2.2.2 On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may from time to time borrow, prepay and reborrow the Revolving Loans.

Section 2.2.3 No Revolving Loan Lender shall be permitted or required to make any Revolving Loan if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans and all Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect to such Lender would

exceed the then existing Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender, including such Lender’s Percentage of the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings and Revolving Loans.

Section 2.3 Letters of Credit.

Section 2.3.1 From time to time on any Business Day occurring from and after the Closing Date but prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, the Issuers will:

(a) issue one or more standby letters of credit in the form customarily used by the Issuer or in such other form as requested by Borrower and approved by the Issuer (each, a "Letter of Credit") for the account of the Borrower in the Stated Amount requested by the Borrower on such day; or

(b) extend the Stated Expiry Date of an existing standby Letter of Credit previously issued hereunder to a date not later than the earlier of (x) the last Business Day prior to the Maturity Date and (y) one (1) year from the date of the then-current Stated Expiry Date, provided that the Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit, or extend a Stated Expiry Date, if at the time of such issuance:

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit or any requirement of law applicable to such Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuer is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the Closing Date, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable, in effect or known to such Issuer as of the Closing Date and which such Issuer reasonably and in good faith deems material to it; or

(ii) such Issuer shall have received a Stop Issue Notice from the Administrative Agent prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit.

Section 2.3.2 Each Letter of Credit shall be issued in Dollars and on a sight basis only.

Section 2.3.3 An Issuer shall not be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings pursuant to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuer would exceed the lesser of (i) such Issuer’s pro

rata share of the Letter of Credit Commitment Amount (with the Letter of Credit Commitment Amount allocated evenly among the Issuers) and (ii) the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Issuer in its capacity as a Lender.

Section 2.3.4 The Issuers shall not be permitted or required to issue any Letter of Credit (a) if, after giving effect thereto, (i) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings would exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment Amount or (ii) the sum of the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings plus the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding would exceed any of (A) the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount, (B) the then-current Aggregate Commitment, or (C) the then-current Available Commitment; or (b) if a Lender Default known to the Issuer exists, unless the Issuer has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Issuer's risk with respect to the participation in Letter of Credit Outstandings by each Defaulting Lender, including cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender's Percentage of Letter of Credit Outstandings in respect thereof.

Section 2.4 Increase/Reduction of the Commitment Amounts. The Commitment Amounts are subject to increase and/or reduction from time to time pursuant to this Section 2.4.

Section 2.4.1 Optional Reduction. The Borrower may, from time to time on any Business Day occurring after the Closing Date, voluntarily reduce the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount or the Letter of Credit Commitment Amount on the Business Day so specified by the Borrower; provided, however, that (a) all such reductions shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders, (b) all such reductions shall require at least three (3) Business Day's prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and shall be permanent, and any partial reduction of any Commitment Amount shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, and (c) in no event shall the Borrower be permitted to cancel Commitments for which a Letter of Credit has been issued and is outstanding unless the Borrower returns (or causes to be returned) such Letter of Credit to the Issuer.

Section 2.4.2 Mandatory Reductions. The Revolving Loan Commitment Amount shall be reduced to zero on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date.

Section 2.4.3 Increase of Commitment Amount.

(a) Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, request an increase to the existing Commitment by an amount not to exceed, in the aggregate, TWO HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS ($250,000,000.00). Each such notice shall specify (i) the amount by which the Borrower desires to increase the Revolving Loan Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, as the case may be, which shall not be less than TEN MILLION DOLLARS ($10,000,000.00)

and shall not exceed, together with any other increases to the Revolving Loan Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, TWO HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS ($250,000,000.00), (ii) the date on which Borrower proposes that the increased Revolving Loan Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment shall be effective and the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond, which in each case shall be a date not fewer than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is received by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (iii) proposed upfront fees for any Lender committing to such increase (the "Increase Upfront Fees") as agreed among Borrower and the Co-Lead Arrangers. Each Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may notify Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Percentage of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable. Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders' responses to each request made hereunder. If the existing Lenders do not agree to the full amount of a requested increase, Borrower may then invite additional financial institutions, that each qualify as an Eligible Assignee, to become Lenders hereunder and fund any such deficiency (a "New Lender"). The date that any increased or new Revolving Loan Commitments and/or Term Loan Commitment shall become effective shall be the "Increase Effective Date."

(b) The increased Revolving Loan Commitments and/or Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, shall become effective as of such Increase Effective Date; provided that (i) each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 shall be satisfied and Borrower shall deliver an Officer's Certificate which confirms and certifies that all applicable representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects as if made on and as of the Increase Effective Date (A) unless they are already qualified by materiality, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects and/or (B) unless they expressly relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, (ii) after giving pro forma effect to any Borrowings to be made on the Increase Effective Date, Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 7.2.4, (iii) Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, (iv) Borrower shall pay the Increase Upfront Fees to the applicable Lenders, together with all accrued and unpaid fees, costs and expenses, to the extent then due and payable under this Agreement, and all reasonable legal costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent to

the extent invoiced prior to or on such Increase Effective Date, and (v) any New Lender shall have paid a processing fee in the amount of $3,500 to the Administrative Agent.

(c) The increased or new Revolving Loan Commitments and/or Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, shall be effected by a joinder agreement executed by Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender or New Lender making such increased or new Revolving Loan Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, in form and substance satisfactory to each of them. In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in Loan Documents to Revolving Loans and/or Term Loans, as applicable, shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to Revolving Loans and/or Term Loans, as applicable, made pursuant to such new or increased Revolving Loan Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable. As of the Increase Effective Date, the existing Lenders (the "Pre-Increase Lenders") shall assign to any Lender or New Lender which is acquiring a new or additional Revolving Loan Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, on the Increase Effective Date (the "Post-Increase Lenders"), and such Post-Increase Lenders shall purchase from each Pre-Increase Lender, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in any Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit and Term Loans outstanding on such Increase Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit and Term Loans will be held by Pre-Increase Lenders and Post-Increase Lenders ratably in accordance with their Commitments after giving effect to such increased Commitments and Percentages.

(d) The Revolving Loans, Term Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.4.3 shall constitute Revolving Loans, Term Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from any guarantees hereunder or under the Loan Documents. Borrower shall, and shall cause Guarantor and its Subsidiaries to, take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent in order to effect the foregoing. Any New Lender making a Revolving Loan Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment hereunder shall constitute a Lender under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits and obligated by all the obligations created by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 2.5 Borrowing Procedures. The Term Loans shall be funded on the Closing Date, or, in the case of increased Term Loan Commitments under Section 2.4.3, on the Increase Effective Date. Revolving Loans shall be made by the Lenders in accordance with Section 2.5.1.

Section 2.5.1 Revolving Loans. By delivering a Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent on a Business Day, the Borrower may from time to time irrevocably request (a) on or before 12:00 p.m., New York City time on the same Business Day notice in the case of Base Rate Loans or (b) on or before 1:00 p.m. on three (3) Business Days' notice in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, that a Borrowing be made, in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, in a minimum amount of $3,000,000 and an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, in the case of Base Rate Loans, in a minimum amount of $3,000,000 and in integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof or, in either case, in the unused amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment, and in any case not to exceed the Available Commitment. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Borrowing shall be comprised of the Revolving Loans, and shall be made on the Business Day, specified in such Borrowing Request. On or before 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Business Day, each Lender shall deposit with the Administrative Agent same day funds in an amount equal to such Lender's Percentage of the requested Borrowing. Such deposit will be made to an account which the Administrative Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Lenders. To the extent funds are received from the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower by wire transfer to the accounts the Borrower shall have specified in its Borrowing Request. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made or will make such amount available to Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender and Administrative Agent has made available same to Borrower, then Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent's demand therefor, then Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower, and Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days, pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 3.3, for the respective Loans. No Lender's obligation to make any Loan shall be affected by any other Lender's failure to make any Loan. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay the amount of such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or overlapping periods, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period of overlap. If such Lender pays to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Revolving Loan, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the Borrowing. Any payment by the

Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Revolving Lender that shall have failed to make available the proceeds of a Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be entitled to elect or request LIBO Rate Loans.

Section 2.5.2 Telephonic Notice. Without in any way limiting the obligation of Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of Borrower entitled to give telephonic notices under this Agreement on behalf of Borrower. In each such case, Administrative Agent's record of the terms of such telephonic notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error and Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute such record.

Section 2.6 Continuation and Conversion Elections. By delivering a Continuation/ Conversion Notice to the Administrative Agent on or before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, the Borrower may from time to time irrevocably elect, on not less than one (1) Business Day's notice in the case of any Loans that are to be continued as, or converted into Base Rate Loans, or three (3) Business Days' notice in the case of any Loans that are to be continued as, or converted into, LIBO Rate Loans, that all, or any portion in an aggregate minimum amount of $3,000,000 and in integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof, in the case of any Loans that are to be continued as, or converted into, LIBO Rate Loans, or an aggregate minimum amount of $3,000,000 and an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, in the case of any Loans that are to be continued as, or converted into, Base Rate Loans, be, in the case of Base Rate Loans, converted into LIBO Rate Loans or continued as Base Rate Loans, or be, in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, converted into Base Rate Loans or continued as LIBO Rate Loans (in the absence of delivery of a Continuation/Conversion Notice with respect to any LIBO Rate Loan at least three (3) Business Days before the last day of the then-current Interest Period with respect thereto, such LIBO Rate Loan shall, on such last day, automatically be continued as a LIBO Rate Loan having an Interest Period of one (1) month); provided, however, that (x) each such conversion or continuation shall be prorated among the applicable outstanding Loans of all Lenders, and (y) if any Event of Default is in existence at the applicable time of any proposed continuation of, or conversion into, any LIBO Rate Loans, the Borrower may not elect to have a Loan converted into or continued as a LIBO Rate Loan and any outstanding LIBO Rate Loans shall be automatically converted on the last day of the current Interest Period applicable thereto into Base Rate Loans. Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Loans.

Section 2.7 Funding. Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its obligation to make, continue or convert LIBO Rate Loans hereunder by causing one of its foreign branches or

Affiliates (or an international banking facility created by such Lender) to make or maintain such LIBO Rate Loan; provided, however, that such LIBO Rate Loan shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and to be held by Lender, and the obligation of the Borrower to repay such LIBO Rate Loan shall nevertheless be to Lender for the account of such foreign branch, Affiliate or international banking facility; provided, further, that in no event shall the Borrower be obligated to pay to Lender any amounts pursuant to Section 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.5 or 4.6 that would not have arisen but for such Lender's election pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.7 (it being acknowledged and agreed that any change in lending office or other action taken by Lender in accordance with Section 4.7 shall not be considered to be an "election" by such Lender under this Section 2.7).

Section 2.8 Issuance Procedures. By delivering to the Administrative Agent and each Issuer (based on each Issuer’s pro rata share of the Letter of Credit Commitment Amount, with the Letter of Credit Commitment Amount allocated evenly among the Issuers) an Issuance Request (including by way of facsimile) on or before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, the Borrower may, from time to time irrevocably request, on not less than three (3) nor more than ten (10) Business Days' notice, in the case of an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower, that the Issuers each issue an irrevocable Letter of Credit in such form as may be requested by the Borrower and approved by such Issuer. Each Issuer also may request that Borrower submit its Issuance Request in the form of such Issuer’s standard form of Letter of Credit application. Any standby Letter of Credit theretofore issued which contains an "evergreen" or similar automatic extension feature shall be automatically extended in accordance with the terms thereof subject to the Issuer's right not to so extend if the conditions precedent to the issuance of such a Letter of Credit would not be satisfied; provided, however, that such Letter of Credit shall not be automatically extended if the Borrower shall have notified the Issuers in writing not less than thirty (30) days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to each Issuer in its sole discretion or such longer period as may be required by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit) prior to the day following the expiration of the notice period (the “Notice Date”), which is at least one (1) day prior to the date that such standby Letter of Credit is scheduled to be automatically extended, that the Borrower desires that such standby Letter of Credit not be so extended. Each Letter of Credit shall by its terms be stated to expire on a date (its "Stated Expiry Date") no later than the earlier to occur of (i) the last Business Day prior to the Maturity Date and (ii) one (1) year from the date of its issuance.

Section 2.8.1 Other Lenders' Participation. Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit issued by the Issuer pursuant hereto, and without further action, each Lender (other than the Issuer) shall be deemed to have irrevocably purchased, to the extent of its Percentage relating to Revolving Loans, a participation interest in such Letter of Credit (including the Contingent Obligation and any Reimbursement Obligation with respect thereto), and such Lender shall, to the extent of its Percentage, be responsible for reimbursing promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) the Issuer for Reimbursement Obligations which have not been reimbursed by the

Borrower in accordance with Section 2.8.3. In addition, such Lender shall, to the extent of its Percentage relating to Revolving Loans, be entitled to receive a ratable portion of the Letter of Credit fees payable pursuant to Section 3.4.3 with respect to each Letter of Credit (other than the issuance and processing fees and other charges payable to the Issuer of such Letter of Credit pursuant to the last sentence of Section 3.4.3) and of interest payable pursuant to Section 3.4 with respect to any Reimbursement Obligation. To the extent that any Lender has reimbursed the Issuer for a Disbursement as required by this Section, such Lender shall be entitled to receive its ratable portion of any amounts subsequently received (from the Borrower or otherwise) in respect of such Disbursement.

Section 2.8.2 Disbursements. The Issuer will notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly upon completion of its examination of the documents presented under a Letter of Credit and its determination of the date (the "Disbursement Date") such payment shall be made (each such payment, a "Disbursement"). The Administrative Agent shall apply all funds then on deposit with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.2.1(b)(B), Section 8.2, Section 8.3 or Section 8.4 for the purpose of cash collateralizing the Letter of Credit Outstandings to reimburse the Issuer for any such Disbursement, provided such cash collateral, after giving effect to such disbursement would not otherwise be required to be re-deposited under any such Section. Subject to the terms and provisions of such Letter of Credit and this Agreement, the Issuer shall make such payment to the beneficiary (or its designee) of such Letter of Credit. Prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day following the Disbursement Date, the Borrower will reimburse the Administrative Agent, for the account of Issuer, for all amounts which the Issuer has disbursed under such Letter of Credit to the extent that the amounts on deposit with the Administrative Agent are insufficient to satisfy such disbursement, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate then in effect for Base Rate Loans (with the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans accruing on such amount) pursuant to Section 3.3 for the period from the Disbursement Date through the date of such reimbursement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, however, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Issuer prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such drawing that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Issuer for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of the Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.5 to the Administrative Agent, requesting a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans on the date on which such drawing is honored and in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing less amounts, if any, applied, or required to be applied, to reimburse the Issuer pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 2.8.2. Each Lender (other than the Issuer) shall, in accordance with Section 2.5.1, make available its pro rata share of such Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuer for the amount of such draw. Without limiting in any way the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the

contrary contained herein, the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall be obligated to reimburse the Lender as set forth herein upon each Disbursement of a Letter of Credit.

Section 2.8.3 Reimbursement Obligations. The obligation (a "Reimbursement Obligation") of the Borrower under Section 2.8.2 to reimburse the Issuer with respect to each Disbursement (including interest thereon), and, upon the failure of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuer, each Lender's obligation under Section 2.8.1 to reimburse the Issuer, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, may have or have had against the Issuer or any such Lender, including any defense based upon the failure of any Disbursement to conform to the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit (if, in the Issuer's good faith opinion, such Disbursement is determined to be appropriate) or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit; provided, however, that after paying in full its Reimbursement Obligation hereunder, nothing herein shall preclude the right of such Lender to commence any proceeding against the Issuer for any wrongful Disbursement made by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction on the part of the Issuer in a final and non-appealable decision); provided, further, that, in any event, the Borrower may have a claim against the Issuer, and the Issuer may be liable to the extent (but only to the extent) of any direct, as opposed to special, indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which were caused by the Issuer's willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision.

Section 2.8.4 Extended Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Letter of Credit may, as a result of its express terms or as the result of the effect of an automatic extension provision, have an expiration date of not more than one (1) year beyond the then applicable Maturity Date (any such Letter of Credit being referred to as an "Extended Letter of Credit"), so long as the Borrower, no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the then applicable Maturity Date, delivers to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuer and the Lenders and for deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, cash collateral to collateralize the Borrower's reimbursement obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect to such Letter of Credit. If the Borrower fails to provide cash collateral with respect to any Extended Letter of Credit by the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the then applicable Maturity Date, such failure shall be treated as a drawing under such Extended Letter of Credit (in an amount equal to the maximum Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit), which shall be reimbursed to the Issuer, on demand by the Administrative Agent, by the Borrower, or by the Lenders if the Borrower fails to do so, in each case as provided in Section 2.8.2 and Section 2.8.3, with the proceeds of such reimbursement being utilized to provide cash collateral for such Letter of Credit. Each Lender confirms that its reimbursement and funding obligations under this Agreement shall be reinstated in full and apply

if the delivery of any cash collateral in respect of an Extended Letter of Credit is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, other similar Legal Requirements or otherwise.

Section 2.8.5 Nature of Reimbursement Obligations. The Borrower and, to the extent set forth in Section 2.8.1, each Lender shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. The Issuer (except to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)) shall not be responsible for:

(a) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of a Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged;

(b) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or the proceeds thereof in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason;

(c) failure of the beneficiary to comply fully with conditions required in order to demand payment under a Letter of Credit;

(d) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise;

(e) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required in order to make a Disbursement under a Letter of Credit;

(f) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or

(g) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.8.5, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower's obligations hereunder.

None of the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted to the Issuer or any Lender hereunder. In furtherance and extension and not in limitation

or derogation of any of the foregoing, any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuer in good faith (and not constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct) shall be binding upon the Borrower and each Lender, and shall not put the Issuer under any resulting liability to the Borrower or any Lender, as the case may be.

Section 2.8.6 Certain Notifications Regarding Letters of Credit. Promptly after the issuance of, or any modification or amendment to, any standby Letter of Credit, the Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such issuance, modification or amendment. Promptly after receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders in writing of such issuance, modification or amendment. On the first Business Day of each week, the Issuer shall furnish the Administrative Agent with a written (including via facsimile) report of the daily aggregate outstandings of Letters of Credit issued by the Issuer for the immediately preceding week.

Section 2.8.7 Excess Cash Collateral. Subject to Section 8.4, unless a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if the amount on deposit with the Administrative Agent designated for, or intended to be used for, the purpose of cash collateralizing the Letter of Credit Outstandings is in excess of the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time and would not otherwise be required to be deposited under Section 3.2.1(b)(B), Section 8.2, Section 8.3, or Section 8.4 (the amount of any such excess is referred to herein as the "Excess Cash Collateral"), the Administrative Agent shall promptly return to the Borrower the Excess Cash Collateral.

Section 2.9 Loan Accounts and Notes. All Loans under this Agreement shall be made by Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective Revolving Loan Commitments, in the case of Revolving Loans, and pro rata on the basis of their Term Loan Commitments, in the case of Term Loans, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder or any other breach by any other Lender of this Agreement and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder.

(a) The Loans made by each Lender and the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuer shall be evidenced by one or more loan accounts or records maintained by such Lender or the Issuer, as the case may be, in the ordinary course of business. The loan accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent, the Issuer and each Lender shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuer for the account of, the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations.

(b) Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Loans made by such Lender may be evidenced by (and the Borrowers agree to issue) one or more Revolving Notes and/or Term Loan Notes, instead of or in addition to loan accounts. Each such Lender is irrevocably authorized by the Borrower to endorse on such Note(s) the date, amount and maturity of each Loan made, continued or converted by it and the amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect thereto. Each such Lender's record shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error; provided, however, that the failure of a Lender to make, or an error in making, a notation thereon with respect to any Loan shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any such Note to such Lender. The reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of each Note shall be for the account of the Borrower.

Section 3.2.5 Repayments and Prepayments. The Borrower shall repay in full the unpaid principal amount of all Loans on the Maturity Date. Prior thereto, payments and prepayments of Loans shall or may be made as set forth below.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. From time to time on any Business Day, the Borrower may make a voluntary prepayment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding principal amount of any Loans, provided that

(i) any such prepayment of the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata among the Revolving Loans of the same Type and, if applicable, having the same Interest Period of all Lenders that have made such Revolving Loans;

(ii) any such prepayment of the Term Loans shall be made pro rata among the Term Loans of the same Type and, if applicable, having the same Interest Period of all Lenders that have made such Term Loans;

(iii) all such voluntary prepayments shall require at least one (1) Business Days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent; and

(iv) all such voluntary partial prepayments shall be, in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, in the remaining outstanding principal amount thereof).

(b) Exceeding Commitment Amounts.

(i) On each date when the Aggregate Revolver Outstanding Balance exceeds (A) the then current Revolving Loan Commitment Amount (as it may, from time to time, be increased or reduced pursuant to Section 2.4) or (B) together with the outstanding Term Loans, exceeds the then current Available Commitment, as the case may be, including without limitation upon an Unencumbered Pool Property ceasing to satisfy requirements of Section 7.1.18, the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the amount by which the Aggregate Outstanding Balance exceeds the then current Revolving Loan Commitment Amount or the then current Available Commitment, as applicable.

(ii) On each date when the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Letter of Credit Commitment Amount (as it may be reduced from time to time, including pursuant to Section 2.4), the Borrower shall give cash collateral to the Administrative Agent, pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof, to collateralize Letter of Credit Outstandings in an aggregate amount (taking into account any amounts then on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account) equal to such excess.

(c) Acceleration of Maturity. Immediately upon any acceleration of any Loans pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, the Borrower shall repay all the Loans.

(d) No Premium or Penalty. Each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to this Section shall be without premium or penalty, except as may be required by Section 4.5. No prepayment of principal of any Revolving Loans pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of this Section shall cause a reduction in the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount.

Section 3.2.6 Application. Each prepayment or repayment of the principal of the Revolving Loans shall be applied, to the extent of such prepayment or repayment, as the Borrower shall direct (and in the absence of such direction, shall be applied first, to the principal amount thereof being maintained as Base Rate Loans, second to the principal amount thereof being maintained as LIBO Rate Loans with respect to which the date of such prepayment or repayment is the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and third, to the principal amount thereof being maintained as LIBO Rate Loans with the shortest Interest Periods remaining); provided that prepayments or repayments of LIBO Rate Loans not made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, shall be prepaid or repaid subject to the provisions of Section 4.5 (together with a payment of all accrued interest).

Section 3.3 Interest Provisions. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of Loans shall accrue and be payable in accordance with this Section 3.3.

Section 3.3.4 Rates. Pursuant to an appropriately delivered Borrowing Request or Continuation/Conversion Notice, the Borrower may elect that Loans comprising a Borrowing accrue interest at a rate per annum:

(e) on that portion maintained from time to time as a Base Rate Loan, equal to the sum of the Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin, or, with respect to the Term Loans, the Applicable Margin (Term Loans), in each case as calculated at the time such Base Rate Loan was made and recalculated on each Monthly Payment Date; and

(f) on that portion maintained as a LIBO Rate Loan, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, equal to the sum of the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin, or, with respect to the Term Loans, the Applicable Margin (Term Loans), in each case as calculated at the time such LIBO Rate Loan was made and recalculated on the last day of the applicable Interest Period; provided that if an Interest Period is longer than three months, then on the date which is three months after the first day of such Interest Period.

All LIBO Rate Loans shall bear interest from and including the first day of the applicable Interest Period to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such LIBO Rate Loan. All Base Rate Loans shall bear interest from and including the day they are made to and excluding the day they are repaid or converted into LIBO Rate Loans.

Section 3.3.5 Post-Default Rates. Borrower shall pay, but only to the extent permitted by law, interest (after as well as before the entry of judgment thereon) on all outstanding Obligations at a rate per annum equal to 2% in excess of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin per annum:

(a) after the date any principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation is due and payable (whether on the Maturity Date, upon acceleration, an Event of Default or otherwise);

(b) after the occurrence and during the continuation of any other monetary Event of Default or any Event of Default under Section 8.1.9; or

(c) at the direction of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuation of any other non-monetary Event of Default.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower to any Lender 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 such Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event the Borrower shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law.

Section 3.3.6 Payment Dates. Interest accrued on each Loan shall be payable, without duplication:

(d) on the date of any payment or prepayment, in whole or in part, of principal outstanding on such Loan on the principal amount so paid or prepaid;

(e) with respect to Base Rate Loans, in arrears on each Monthly Payment Date occurring after the Closing Date;

(f) with respect to LIBO Rate Loans, in arrears on the last day of each applicable Interest Period; provided that if an Interest Period is longer than three months, then on the date which is three months after the first day of such Interest Period;

(g) with respect to any Base Rate Loans converted into LIBO Rate Loans on a day when interest would not otherwise have been payable pursuant to clause (c) above, on the date of such conversion; and

(h) on that portion of any Loans which is accelerated pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, immediately upon such acceleration.

Interest accrued on Loans or other monetary Obligations arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document after the date such amount is due and payable (whether on the Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise) shall be payable upon demand.

Section 3.4 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the fees set forth in this Section 3.4. All such fees shall be non-refundable.

Section 3.4.3 Revolving Loan Unused Fee. Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with each Lender's Percentage for the period (including any portion thereof when any of its Commitments are suspended by reason of Borrower's inability to satisfy any condition of Article V of this Agreement) commencing on the Closing Date and continuing through the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, an unused

fee calculated as follows: (i) for each day during the applicable Fiscal Quarter that the Aggregate Revolver Outstanding Balance is less than 50% of the Revolving Loan Commitment, an unused fee at a rate per annum equal to 0.30% multiplied by the sum of the unused portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount on such day, or (ii) for each day during the applicable Fiscal Quarter that the Aggregate Revolver Outstanding Balance is equal to or greater than 50% of the Revolving Loan Commitment, an unused fee at a rate per annum equal to 0.20% multiplied by the sum of the unused portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount on such day. All unused fees payable pursuant to this Section shall be calculated on a year comprised of 360 days and payable by the Borrower in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing with the first Quarterly Payment Date following the Closing Date, and on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.4.1, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any of the foregoing fees to a Defaulting Lender that would otherwise have been payable to such Lender for the time period during which such Lender shall have been a Defaulting Lender; provided, however, each Lender's Percentage shall be adjusted, as applicable, to account for any Non-Defaulting Lender who funds additional amounts to Borrower in lieu of any amounts not funded by a Defaulting Lender so that such Non-Defaulting Lender would receive the foregoing fees payable to such Defaulting Lender for the time period during which the applicable Lender Default existed.

Section 3.4.4 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders, each for its own account, the fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the Fee Letters.

Section 3.4.5 Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata account of each Lender, a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to a rate per annum equal to the then Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate Loans on the Stated Amount of each such Letter of Credit, with such fees being payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date. The Borrower further agrees to pay to the Issuer, for its own account, (x) quarterly in arrears payable on each Quarterly Payment Date for each Letter of Credit issued by it, a fronting fee at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (A) $1,500 and (B) 0.125% multiplied by the Stated Amount of each such Letter of Credit, and (y) from time to time promptly after demand, the normal issuance, payment, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard administrative costs and charges of the Issuer relating to Letters of Credit as from time to time in effect; provided, however, that in the event that such Letter of Credit is returned or the Facility is terminated, then Borrower shall pay such fees on the earliest to occur of the date of such return, the date of such termination or the next occurring Quarterly Payment Date.

ARTICLE IV

CERTAIN LIBO RATE AND OTHER PROVISIONS

Section 4.1 LIBO Rate Lending Unlawful. If any Lender shall reasonably determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make, continue or maintain any Loan as, or to convert any Loan into, a LIBO Rate Loan, the obligations of such Lender to make, continue or maintain or to convert any Loan into, a LIBO Rate Loan shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all outstanding LIBO Rate Loans of such Lender shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans at the end of the then-current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or assertion. Each Lender agrees to promptly give notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower when the circumstances causing such suspension cease to exist.

Section 4.2 Deposits Unavailable. If the Required Lenders shall have reasonably determined that (a) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are neither available to such Required Lenders in the eurodollar market nor available to them in their respective relevant markets, or (b) by reason of circumstances affecting the eurodollar market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to LIBO Rate Loans, then, upon notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower and the Lenders, the obligations of all Lenders under Section 2.5 and Section 2.6 to make or continue any Loans as, or to convert any Loans into, LIBO Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. Upon receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders are unable to determine the LIBO Rate, the Borrower may revoke, subject to Section 4.5, any Borrowing Request or Continuation/Conversion Notice then submitted by it. If the Borrower does not revoke such Borrowing Request or Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by the Borrower, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by the Borrower, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans instead of LIBO Rate Loans. The Administrative Agent agrees to give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders when it ascertains that the circumstances causing such suspension cease to exist.

Section 4.3 Change of Circumstances. If, after the Closing Date, the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of, or any change in the application of, any law or any regulation (including Regulation D of the F.R.S. Board and including any Specified Change of Law)

or guideline issued by any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), or by the NAIC or any other comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or including any reserve or special deposit requirement or any tax (other than Taxes covered by Section 4.6 and taxes on a Lender's overall net income) or any capital requirement, has, due to a Lender's compliance the effect, directly or indirectly, of (i) increasing the cost to such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender of performing its obligations hereunder (including the making, continuing or maintaining of any Loans as or converting any Loans into, LIBO Rate Loans); (ii) reducing any amount received or receivable by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender hereunder or its effective return hereunder or on its capital; or (iii) causing such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender to make any payment or to forego any return based on any amount received or receivable by such Lender hereunder, then upon demand of such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, accompanied by written notice showing in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of any such amounts, from time to time, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay such amounts and shall compensate such Lender promptly after receipt of such notice and demand for any such cost, reduction, payment or foregone return. Any certificate of Lender in respect of the foregoing will be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower, except for clearly demonstrable error.

Section 4.4 Replacement of Lender. If (a) the Borrower receives notice from any Lender requesting increased costs or additional amounts under Section 4.3 or 4.6, (b) any Lender is affected in the manner described in Section 4.1 or (c) a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then in each case, the Borrower shall have the right, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and unless, in the case of clause (a) above, such Lender has removed or cured the conditions which resulted in the obligation to pay such increased costs or additional amounts or agreed to waive and otherwise forego any right it may have to any payments provided for under Section 4.3 or 4.6 in respect of such conditions, to replace in its entirety such Lender (the "Replaced Lender"), upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Replaced Lender, with one or more other Eligible Assignee(s) (collectively, the "Replacement Lender") acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuer (which acceptance, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that, at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 4.4, the Replaced Lender and the Replacement Lender shall enter into (each Replaced Lender hereby unconditionally agreeing to enter into) one or more Lender Assignment Agreements (appropriately completed), pursuant to which (A) the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of, and participations in Letter of Credit Outstandings of, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay (x) to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (1) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender and (2) an amount equal to all accrued but theretofore unpaid fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 3.4 and (y) to the Issuer, an amount equal to any portion of the Replaced Lender's funding of an unpaid drawing

under a Letter of Credit as to which the Replaced Lender is then in default; and (B) the Borrower shall pay to the Replaced Lender any other amounts payable to the Replaced Lender under this Agreement (including amounts payable under Sections 4.3, 4.5 and 4.6 which have accrued to the date of such replacement). Upon the execution of the Lender Assignment Agreement(s), the payment to the Administrative Agent of the processing fee referred to in clause (a) of Section 10.9.1, the payment of the amounts referred to in the preceding sentence and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender in accordance with clause (b) of Section 10.9.1, delivery to the Replacement Lender of a Revolving Note executed by the Borrower, the Replacement Lender shall automatically become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender. It is understood and agreed that if any Replaced Lender shall fail to enter into a Lender Assignment Agreement in accordance with the foregoing, it shall be deemed to have entered into such a Lender Assignment Agreement.

Section 4.5 Funding Losses. In the event any Lender shall reasonably incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Loan as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount of any Loan into, a LIBO Rate Loan) as a result of (a) any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBO Rate Loans on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, whether pursuant to Section 3.2 or otherwise, or (b) any Loans not being made or continued as, or converted into, LIBO Rate Loans as a result of a withdrawn or revoked Borrowing Request or Continuation/Conversion Notice or for any other reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent), then, upon the written notice of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall, promptly after its receipt thereof and prior to the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender such amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert or failure to continue, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such LIBO Rate Loan. Such written notice (which shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount and include calculations in reasonable detail in support thereof) shall, in the absence of clearly demonstrable error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower.

Section 4.6 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to each Lender and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes and any and

all interest, penalties, or similar liabilities with respect to such Taxes. In addition, the Borrower shall pay all Other Taxes to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, then:

(i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made;

(ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and withholdings; and

(iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and shall as promptly as possible thereafter send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original receipt (or other written evidence) showing payment thereof.

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of (i) Taxes and (ii) Other Taxes that are payable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent and any penalties, interest, additions to tax, expenses or other similar liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within forty-five (45) days after the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent makes written demand therefor.

(d) Each Lender that is a U.S. Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “U.S. Lender”) shall:

(i) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, prior to the first day on which the Borrower is required to make any payments hereunder to Lender, two (2) executed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor forms) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. Each U.S. Lender that shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 10.9.2 or a Lender pursuant to Section 10.9.1 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all the

forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 4.6(c), provided that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased; and

(ii) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two (2) further executed copies of any such form of certification on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower.

(e) Each Lender that is not a U.S. Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “Non-U.S. Lender”):

(i) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, prior to the first day on which the Borrower is required to make any payments hereunder to Lender, (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:in the case of a Lender that is a Non-U.S. Lender that is claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty;


(1)	executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(2)

in the case of any Lender that is a Non-U.S. Lender that is claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Lender Party is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a "10 percent shareholder" of Borrower Parent within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a "U.S.

Tax Compliance Certificate") and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(3)

to the extent a Lender that is a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if such Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.

(ii) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements to permit Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(iii) shall, if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Legal Requirements and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment;

(iv) agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so; and

(v) shall, unless in any such case any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required that renders any such form inapplicable or would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, become a Participant pursuant to Section 10.9.2 or a Lender pursuant to Section 10.9.1 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 4.6(e), provided that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any U.S. Lender or the Administrative Agent, or to pay any additional amounts to such U.S. Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 4.6 to the extent that the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such U.S. Lender to comply with the provisions of clause (d) above.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. Lender or the Administrative Agent, or to pay any additional amounts to such Non-U.S. Lender or the Administrative Agent, in respect of U.S. Federal withholding tax pursuant to this Section 4.6 to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to U.S. Federal withholding tax existed on the date such Non-U.S. Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Participant, on the date such Participant became a Participant hereunder) or as of the date such Non-U.S. Lender changes its applicable lending office; provided, however, that this clause (g) shall not apply to the extent that (x) in the case of an assignee Lender or a Participant or a change in the Lender's applicable lending office, the indemnity payments or additional amounts Lender (or Participant) would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (g)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the Person making the assignment, participation, transfer or change in lending office would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer or change in lending office, or (y) such assignment, participation, transfer or change in lending office had been requested by the Borrower, (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would

not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Participant to comply with the provisions of clause (e) above or (iii) any of the representations or certifications made by a Non-U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Participant pursuant to clause (e) above are incorrect at the time a payment hereunder is made, other than by reason of any change in treaty, law or regulation having effect after the date such representations or certifications were made.

(h) If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Taxes for which indemnification has been demanded hereunder, the relevant Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable (to the extent such Lender or the Administrative Agent reasonably determines in good faith that it will not suffer any adverse effect as a result thereof), shall, subject to clause (i) of the proviso in the immediately succeeding sentence, cooperate with the Borrower in challenging such Taxes at the Borrower's expense if so requested by the Borrower in writing. If any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, receives a refund of, or a credit relating to a Tax for which a payment has been made or borne by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, which refund in the good faith judgment of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Borrower for such amount as such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, determines to be the proportion of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position than it would have been in if the payment by or borne by the Borrower had not been required; provided, however, that (i) any Lender or the Administrative Agent may determine, in its reasonable discretion consistent with the policies of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, whether to seek a refund and (ii) any Taxes that are imposed on a Lender or the Administrative Agent as a result of a disallowance or reduction of any refund with respect to which such Lender or the Administrative Agent has made a payment to the Borrower pursuant to this clause (h) shall be treated as a Tax for which the Borrower is obligated to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 4.6. Neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall be obliged to disclose information regarding its tax affairs or computations to the Borrower in connection with this clause (h) or any other provision of this Section 4.6.

(i) Promptly after the date of any payment by the Borrower of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to each Lender and the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to such Lender or the Administrative Agent.

(j) For purposes of this Section 4.6, the term "Lender" includes any Issuer and the term "applicable law" includes FATCA.

Section 4.7 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would give rise to the operation of Sections 4.1, 4.3, 4.6(a), 4.6(b) or 4.6(c) with respect to such Lender, it will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain the affected Loans of such Lender through another lending office and to take such other actions as it deems appropriate to remove or lessen the impact of such condition and if, as determined by such Lender in its discretion, the making, funding or maintaining of such affected Loans through such other lending office or the taking of such other actions would not otherwise adversely affect such Loans or such Lender and would not, in such Lender's discretion, be commercially unreasonable. Nothing in this Section 4.7 shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 4.1, 4.3, 4.6(b) or 4.6(c).

Section 4.8 Payments, Computations, etc. Unless otherwise expressly provided, all payments by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes, each Letter of Credit or any other Loan Document shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata account of the Lenders entitled to receive such payment. All such payments required to be made to the Administrative Agent shall be made, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date due, in same day or immediately available funds, to such account as the Administrative Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower. Funds received after 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such due date shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit in same day funds to each Lender its share, if any, of such payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender. All computations of interest for LIBO Rate Loans and all computations of Letter of Credit fees and issuance fees pursuant to Section 3.3.3, in each case shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed, and, with respect to LIBO Rate Loans, on the expiration of the applicable LIBO Rate Loan contract. All computations of interest and fees for Base Rate Loans (whether calculated at the Federal Funds Rate or the Base Rate) shall be made on the basis of a 365/366-day year and actual days elapsed. Whenever any payment to be made shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall (except as otherwise required by clause (c) of the definition of the term "Interest Period") be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such payment.

Section 4.9 Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff by such Lender or its Affiliates, or otherwise) on account of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6) in excess of its pro rata share of payments then or therewith obtained by all Lenders, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in Credit Extensions made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or

any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and each Lender which has sold a participation to the purchasing Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such selling Lender's ratable share (according to a fraction having a numerator of (a) the amount of such selling Lender's required repayment to the purchasing Lender and a denominator of (b) total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including pursuant to Section 4.10) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

Section 4.10 Setoff. Each Lender (including for the purposes the Affiliates of such Lender) shall, if the Loans have been accelerated or otherwise have become due and payable or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default described in Section 8.1.1 or in clauses (a) through (e) of Section 8.1.9 with respect to the Borrower or, with the consent of the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, without prior notice to the Borrower (any such notice being waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law), have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations then due or owing to it, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Borrower then or thereafter maintained with such Lender; provided, however, that any such appropriation and application shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.9. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender (or its Affiliate); provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable law or otherwise) which such Lender may have.

Section 6.5 Financial Information.

(i) The financial statements furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 5.1.13(a) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, except as otherwise expressly noted therein, and present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Persons covered thereby as at the dates thereof and the results of their operations for the periods then ended.

For purposes of this Section 6.5(b), "debt" means any liability on a claim, and "claim" means (i) right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured, or unsecured or (ii) right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a payment,

whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured.

(k) Except as disclosed in the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.5(a) or in Item 6.5(c) of the Disclosure Schedule and the Indebtedness incurred in connection with the Commitments, there were as of the Closing Date no liabilities or obligations with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Guarantor of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) which, either individually or in aggregate, has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Closing Date, Borrower does not know of any basis for the assertion against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Guarantor of any liability or obligation of any nature whatsoever that is not disclosed in the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.5(a) which, either individually or in the aggregate, has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(l) On and as of the Closing Date, the Projections have been prepared in good faith and are based on assumptions believed by Borrower to be reasonable and attainable under the then known facts and circumstances, and there are no statements or conclusions in any of the Projections which are based upon or include information known to the Borrower to be misleading in any material respect or which knowingly fail to take into account material information regarding the matters reported therein; it being understood, however, that nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation that the results forecasted in such Projections will in fact be achieved.

Section 6.9 Title.

(a) The Borrower or, as applicable, each Property Owner and Operating Lessee has good title, or leasehold interests in, or indirect ownership of all of its

Properties and assets, real and personal, tangible and intangible, of any nature whatsoever, free and clear in each case of all Liens or claims, except for Liens permitted pursuant to Section 7.2.3 and except where the failure to have such good title or leasehold interests could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Each Property Owner of a Qualified Unencumbered Pool Property, other than any Ground Lessee, has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title with respect to each Qualified Unencumbered Pool Property to the land and the improvements, and each Ground Lessee, including with respect to the Marriott Lincolnshire and Scottsdale Fairmont Princess, has good, marketable and insurable leasehold title to the land and improvements to its Qualified Unencumbered Pool Property, in each case free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Liens, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting a Qualified Unencumbered Pool Property except as permitted by the Loan Documents. None of the Permitted Liens will materially and adversely affect (i) the ability of a Property Owner or Operating Lessee of a Qualified Unencumbered Pool Property to pay any of its obligations to any Person as and when due, (ii) the fair market value of the applicable Qualified Unencumbered Pool Property, (iii) the marketability of title to the applicable Qualified Unencumbered Pool Property, or (iv) the use or operation of the applicable Qualified Unencumbered Pool Property as of the Closing Date and thereafter. Borrower shall cause each Property Owner and Operating Lessee of a Qualified Unencumbered Pool Property, subject to the provisions of the Loan Documents, to preserve its right, title and interest in and to the applicable Qualified Unencumbered Pool Property for so long as the Facility remains outstanding and to warrant and defend the same from and against any and all claims whatsoever, other than the Permitted Liens.

The members of the Consolidated Group and each such other Person with whom the members of the Consolidated Group join in the filing of a consolidated return have paid, or have provided adequate reserves (in the good faith judgment of the management of the Borrower) in accordance with GAAP for the payment of all such material taxes, assessments, fees and charges relating to all prior taxable years and the current taxable year of the members of

the Consolidated Group and each such other Person with whom the members of the Consolidated Group join in the filing of a consolidated return. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, there is no proposed tax assessment against the members of the Consolidated Group or any such other Person with whom the members of the Consolidated Group join in the filing of a consolidated return that, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.11 ERISA Compliance.

(a) Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the terms thereof and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other federal or state law except to the extent that failure to comply could not result, either individually or in the aggregate, in an amount of liability that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate have made all required contributions to each Plan, except to the extent that a failure to do so could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and no application for a funding waiver or an extension of any amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA has been made with respect to any Plan subject to either such Section of the Code or ERISA.

Section 6.12 Compliance with Environmental Laws. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property, except such noncompliance as could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence:

(a) neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received a complaint, order, citation, notice or other written communication with respect to the existence or alleged existence of a violation of, or liability arising under, any Environmental

Law, the outcome of which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(b) to the best of the Borrower's knowledge, after due inquiry, there are no environmental, health or safety conditions existing or reasonably expected to exist at any real property owned, operated, leased or used by the Borrower or any of its existing or former Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors, including off-site treatment or disposal facilities used by the Borrower or its existing or former Subsidiaries for wastes treatment or disposal, which could reasonably be expected to require any construction or other capital costs or clean-up obligations to be incurred prior to the Maturity Date in order to assure compliance with any Environmental Law, including provisions regarding clean-up, to the extent that any of such conditions, construction or other capital costs or clean-up obligations, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and

(c) neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has treated, stored, transported or disposed of Hazardous Materials at or from any currently or formerly owned Real Estate or facility relating to its business in a manner that, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.19 Material Agreements. Each Material Agreement is in full force and effect, and no terminating event, default, or failure or performance has accrued thereunder except where such terminating event, default, or failure of performance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Material Agreements furnished to Administrative Agent constitute all Material Agreements of the Borrower and Guarantor as of the Closing Date. No party to any Material Agreement has challenged or denied the validity or enforceability of any such agreement. The Borrower shall promptly furnish to Administrative Agent copies of all Material Agreements of the Borrower or the Guarantor entered into after the Closing Date.

Section 6.20 Office of Foreign Assets Control. Neither Borrower nor Guarantor shall (a) be or become subject at any time to any law, regulation, or list of any government agency (including, without limitation, the OFAC List) that prohibits or limits any Lender from making any advance or extension of credit to Borrower or from otherwise conducting business with Borrower and/or Guarantor, or (b) fail to provide documentary and other evidence of Borrower's identity as may be requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any time to enable the Administrative Agent or any Lender to verify Borrower's identity or to comply with any applicable law or regulation, including, without limitation, Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C. § 5318 (the "Patriot Act"). In addition, Borrower hereby agrees to provide Administrative Agent and any Lender with any additional information that Administrative Agent or such Lender(s) deem(s) reasonably necessary from time to time in order to ensure compliance with all Legal Requirements concerning money laundering and similar activities.

to a Qualified Ground Lease, the applicable Property Owner lessee is not in material default in the observance or performance of any material term, covenant or condition thereof that has not been cured prior to the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period provided therein or waived by the Fee Owner.

(b) Borrower must at all times directly or indirectly own (by fee or pursuant to a Qualified Ground Lease) a minimum of five (5) Qualified Unencumbered Pool Properties, exclusive of any otherwise Qualified Unencumbered Pool Properties that are located in Mexico.

(c) Borrower may from time to time include a Property as a Qualified Unencumbered Pool Property by sending a written notice for inclusion to Administrative Agent, and such notice shall include a certification that such Property meets the criteria set forth in clause (a) above. Administrative Agent may reasonably request any diligence materials and documentation it deems necessary to confirm that such Property complies with clause (a) above, including, without limitation, certifications, UCC, lien and judgment searches and other material agreements. Administrative Agent will make such request and materials available to the Lenders. Administrative Agent shall be given at least ten (10) Business Days to review Borrower's certification and any requested due diligence materials prior to inclusion of a Property as a Qualified Unencumbered Pool Property hereunder.

(d) Borrower shall promptly, after any Responsible Officer of the Borrower obtains knowledge thereof, notify Administrative Agent of: (i) any material structural defects or Environmental Occurrence affecting a Qualified Unencumbered Pool Property or (ii) the occurrence of any material casualty event affecting a Qualified Unencumbered Pool Property, or (iii) any other event or occurrence which would cause a Qualified Unencumbered Pool Property to cease to satisfy each of the conditions and requirements set forth in clause (a) above.

(e) Borrower may elect, at any time upon written notice to Administrative Agent, to remove a Property from the Qualified Unencumbered Pool Properties, and upon the effectiveness of such election, provided that such Property Owner and Operating Lessee do not hold any other Qualified Unencumbered Pool Property, the Property Owner and Operating Lessee of such removed Property shall automatically be deemed released from future Obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such election by Borrower shall be effective at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or if the removal of such Qualified Unencumbered Pool Property would cause a Default under the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 7.2.4 hereof, unless such Default or Event of Default will, in Administrative Agent’s discretion, be cured at or upon such removal,

Section 7.2 Negative Covenants.

If any Event of Default (other than any Event of Default described in clauses (a) through (e) of Section 8.1.9 with respect to the Borrower) shall occur for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, and be continuing, Administrative Agent, upon the direction or with the consent of the Required Lenders, shall take such action that Administrative Agent deems advisable to protect and enforce the rights of the Lenders against Borrower, Subsidiary Guarantors and Guarantor, including, without limitation, (i) by written notice to the Borrower declare all of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and other Obligations (including Reimbursement Obligations) to be due and payable and/or the Revolving Loan Commitments (if not theretofore terminated) to be terminated, whereupon the full unpaid amount of the Loans and other Obligations shall be and become immediately due and payable, without further notice, demand or presentment, and the Commitments shall terminate and Borrower shall automatically and immediately be obligated to deposit with Administrative Agent cash collateral in an amount equal to all Letter of Credit Outstandings and (ii) enforcing or availing itself of any or all rights or remedies as set forth in the Loan Documents against Borrower, Subsidiary Guarantors and Guarantor, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity.

Unless waived in writing by Administrative Agent, and subject in all events to the express provisions of each Loan Document, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Administrative Agent against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Indebtedness shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Administrative Agent shall have commenced any other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents. Any such actions taken by Administrative Agent shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Administrative Agent permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) neither Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be subject to any one action or election of remedies law or rule and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall remain in full force and effect until Administrative Agent and the Lenders have exhausted all remedies with respect to the Guaranty, Subsidiary Guaranty or the Indebtedness has been paid in full.

Section 8.4 Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit.

103

(r) If, at any time and from time to time, any Letter of Credit shall have been issued hereunder and an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then, upon the occurrence and during the continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent, after consultation with the Lenders, may, and upon the demand of the Required Lenders shall, whether in addition to the taking by the Administrative Agent of any of the actions described in this Article VII or otherwise, make a demand upon the Borrower to, and forthwith upon such demand (but in any event within ten (10) days after such demand) the Borrower shall, pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, in same day funds at the Administrative Agent's office designated in such demand, for deposit in a special cash collateral account (the "Letter of Credit Collateral Account") to be maintained in the name of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) and under its sole dominion and control at such place as shall be designated by the Administrative Agent, an amount equal to the amount of the Letter of Credit Outstandings (taking into account any amounts then on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account) under the Letters of Credit. Interest shall accrue on the Letter of Credit Collateral Account at a rate equal to the rate on overnight funds.

(s) The Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, as administrative agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Lenders a lien on and a security interest in, the following collateral (the "Letter of Credit Collateral"):

(i) the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, all cash deposited therein and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing the Letter of Credit Collateral Account;

(ii) all notes, certificates of deposit and other instruments from time to time hereafter delivered to or otherwise possessed by the Administrative Agent for or on behalf of the Borrower in substitution for or in respect of any or all of the then existing Letter of Credit Collateral;

(iii) all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the then existing Letter of Credit Collateral; and

(iv) to the extent not covered by the above clauses, all proceeds of any or all of the foregoing Letter of Credit Collateral.

The lien and security interest granted hereby secures the payment of all obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing hereunder and under any other Loan Document.

104

(t) The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders to apply, from time to time after funds are deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, funds then held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, as shall have become due and payable by the Borrower to the Lenders in respect of the Letters of Credit.

(u) Neither the Borrower nor any Person claiming or acting on behalf of or through the Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, except as provided in Section 8.4(h) or Section 2.8.7 hereof.

(v) The Borrower agrees that it will not (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any interest in the Letter of Credit Collateral or (ii) create or permit to exist any lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Letter of Credit Collateral, except for the security interest created by this Section 8.4.

(w) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i) The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, without notice to the Borrower except as required by law and at any time from time to time, charge, set off or otherwise apply all or any part of any unpaid Obligations then due and payable, in such order as the Administrative Agent shall elect against the Letter of Credit Collateral Account or any part thereof. The rights of the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.4 are in addition to any rights and remedies which any Lender may have; and

(ii) The Administrative Agent may also exercise, in its sole discretion, in respect of the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York at that time.

(x) The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Letter of Credit Collateral if the Letter of Credit Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property, it being understood that, assuming such treatment, the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility or liability with respect thereto.

(y) At such time as all Events of Default have been cured or waived in writing, all amounts remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be promptly returned to the Borrower. Absent such cure or written waiver, any surplus of the

105

funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and remaining after payment in full of all of the Obligations (including without limitation all Letter of Credit Outstandings) hereunder and under any other Loan Document after the termination or expiration of all of the Commitments shall be paid to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

ARTICLE IX

THE AGENTS

Section 9.1 Appointment.

(k) Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints DBNY as the Administrative Agent to act as specified herein and in the other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its respective duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through its officers, directors, agents, servicers, employees or affiliates.

(l) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Issuer to act on behalf of such Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by the Issuer and the documents associated therewith until such time and except for so long as the Administrative Agent may agree at the request of the Required Lenders to act for such Issuer with respect thereto; provided, however, that the Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term "Administrative Agent," as used in this Article IX, included the Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to the Issuer.

Section 9.2 Nature of Duties. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates shall be liable to any Person for any action taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or

106

their gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision); provided that Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for negligence or misconduct of any agents, servicers or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

Section 9.3 Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Qualified Unencumbered Pool Properties, the Borrower, Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Credit Extensions and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower, Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of any Credit Extension or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein, in any other Loan Document or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the financial condition of the Borrower, Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the financial condition of the Borrower, Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

Section 9.4 Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent requests instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received written instructions from the Required Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or

107

refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders, or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required under Section 10.1.

Section 9.5 Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, email message, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Loan Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.6 Indemnification. To the extent the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any affiliate thereof) in proportion to their respective "percentage" as used in determining the Required Lenders for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent's (or such affiliate's) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

Section 9.7 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to make Loans, or issue or participate in Letters of Credit, under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a "Lender" and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the terms "Lender," "Required Lenders," or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include the Administrative Agent in its respective individual capacities. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any member of the Consolidated Group or any Affiliate of any member of the Consolidated Group (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any member of the Consolidated Group or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any member of the Consolidated Group or any Affiliate of any member of the Consolidated Group for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

108

Section 9.8 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

Section 9.9 Resignation by the Administrative Agent.

(d) The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Loan Documents at any time by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Lenders and, unless an Event of Default then exists with respect to the Borrower, the Borrower. Any such resignation by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as the Issuer, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as the Issuer with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it prior to the date of such resignation. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below in this Section 9.9 or as otherwise provided below in this Section 9.9.

(e) Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent and Issuer hereunder and who shall be either an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Borrower's approval or acceptance shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists).

(f) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such thirty (30) day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Borrower's consent shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent and Issuer hereunder and until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(g) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above in this Section 9.9 by the thirty-fifth (35^th) Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent's resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall

109

thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(h) Upon a resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.9, the Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the provisions of this Article IX shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Administrative Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.10 Co-Lead Arrangers; Joint Book Running Managers; Co-Syndication Agents. No Co-Lead Arranger, Joint Book Running Manager or Co-Syndication Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

(y) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (vi), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 10.1(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrower shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described below, to replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 4.4 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination; provided, further, that in any event the Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender's rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 10.1(a).

(z) No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Issuer or any Lender in exercising any power, privilege or right under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, privilege or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, privilege or right. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by the Administrative Agent, the Issuer or any Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, except as may be otherwise stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval hereunder shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder.

111

Borrower shall further pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, Co-Lead Arranger, Co-Syndication Agent, Issuer, the Administrative Agent and their Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and controlling persons (each, an "Indemnitee") harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the syndication, execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and

Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section 10.3 shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after written demand therefor. No Indemnitee shall have any liability for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof or the syndication of the Facility, nor any liability for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(a) Upon prior notice to the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent, any Lender may at any time assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees with the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuer (which consents of the Borrower and the Issuer shall not be required (x) if the Eligible Assignee is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, or (y) in the case of the Borrower, if a Specified Default or an Event of Default exists, and each of which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if such consents are in fact required), all or any fraction of such Lender's total Loans, Letter of Credit Outstandings and Commitments; provided, however, that (x) the assigning Lender may assign any portion of its Commitments, Revolving Loans, Term Loans and/or interest in Letter of Credit Outstandings, (y) no Lender may assign a Commitment of less than $5,000,000 or, unless such Lender has assigned the entirety of its Commitment, retain a Commitment of less than $5,000,000 and (z) no Lender may assign, delegate or pledge all or any fraction of such Lender's total Loans, Letter of Credit Outstandings and Commitments to the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned and delegated to an Eligible Assignee until:

(i) notice of such assignment and delegation, together with (A) payment instructions, (B) the Internal Revenue Service Forms or other statements contemplated or required to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.6, if applicable, (C) addresses and related information with respect to such Eligible Assignee, shall have been delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender and such Eligible Assignee and (D) the Administrative Agent has made the appropriate entries in the Register;

115

(ii) such Eligible Assignee shall have executed and delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a Lender Assignment Agreement, accepted by the Administrative Agent; and

(iii) the processing fees described below shall have been paid.

From and after the date that the Administrative Agent accepts such Lender Assignment Agreement, (x) the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated to such Eligible Assignee in connection with the Lender Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of assignor Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (y) the assignor Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated by it in connection with the Lender Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Accrued interest on that part of the Loans assigned, if any, and accrued fees, shall be paid as provided in the Lender Assignment Agreement. Accrued interest and accrued fees shall be paid at the same time or times provided in this Agreement. Unless such Eligible Assignee is an Affiliate of the assignor Lender, such assignor Lender or such Eligible Assignee must also pay a processing fee in the amount of $3,500 to the Administrative Agent upon delivery of any Lender Assignment Agreement. Any attempted assignment and delegation not made in accordance with this Section 10.9.1 shall be null and void.

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with prior notification to the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower), any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit support to Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this clause (b) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain at the address of the Administrative Agent specified below its signature hereto (or at such other address as may be designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time in accordance with Section 10.2) a copy of each Lender Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of and principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding, in the absence of clearly demonstrable error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or

116

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

Section 10.9.2 Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial lenders, financial institutions or other Persons (each of such commercial lenders, financial institutions or other Persons being herein called a "Participant") participating interests in any of the Loans, Letter of Credit Outstandings, Commitments, or other interests of such Lender hereunder (including loan derivatives and similar swap arrangements based on such Lender's interests hereunder); provided, however, that:

(a) no participation contemplated in this Section 10.9.2 shall relieve Lender from its Commitments or its other obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

(b) Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its Commitments and such other obligations;

(c) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and under each of the other Loan Documents;

(d) no Participant, unless such Participant is an Affiliate of Lender or is itself a Lender shall be entitled to require such Lender to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, except that such Lender may agree with any Participant that such Lender will not, without such Participant's consent, to the extent requiring the consent of such Lender, take any action of the type described in clauses (i) through (vi) of the first proviso of Section 10.1;

(e) the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount under this Agreement that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no participating interest been sold; and

(f) no Lender may sell participating interests in any of the Loans, Letter of Credit Outstandings, Commitments, or other interests of such Lender hereunder to the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower.

117

In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (the Participant's rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the Participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined and paid as if such Lender had not sold such participation. Any Lender that sells a participating interest in any Loan, Revolving Loan Commitment or other interest to a Participant under this Section 10.9.2, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent from and against any taxes, penalties, interest or other costs or losses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred or payable by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as a result of the failure of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any payments made pursuant to this Agreement to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, which Taxes would not have been incurred or payable if such Participant had delivered a valid Form W-9 to the Borrower or if such Participant had been a Non-U.S. Lender that was entitled to deliver to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and did in fact so deliver, a duly completed and valid Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty (or applicable successor form) entitling such Participant to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal taxes).

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, 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 Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender 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 Loan Document) to any Person 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 Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

Section 10.10 Confidentiality. Administrative Agent, Issuer and each Lender agrees to maintain, in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information, the confidentiality of all information provided to it by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantor, any Subsidiary or any Unconsolidated Subsidiary or by the Administrative Agent on the Borrower's, the Guarantor's or such Subsidiary's or Unconsolidated Subsidiary's behalf, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document ("Confidential Information"), and neither it nor any of its Affiliates

118

shall use any such information other than in connection with or in enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with other business now or hereafter existing or contemplated with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Unconsolidated Subsidiary, except to the extent such information (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Administrative Agent, Issuer or the Lender or (ii) was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Borrower, Guarantor or any Subsidiary or Unconsolidated Subsidiary known to the Lender; provided, however, that Lender may disclose such information (A) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority to which the Lender is subject or in connection with an examination of such Lender by any such Governmental Authority; (B) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (C) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law; (D) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding to which the Administrative Agent, any Lender or their respective Affiliates may be party; (E) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (F) to such Lender's Independent auditors and other professional advisors who have been advised that such information is confidential pursuant to this Section 10.10; (G) to any Participant or Eligible Assignee in respect of such Lender's rights and obligations hereunder, actual or potential, provided that such Person shall have agreed in writing to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Lenders hereunder with the Borrower being a third party beneficiary of such agreement; (H) to its Affiliates who have been advised that such information is confidential pursuant to this Section 10.10; or (I) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty to swap agreements or such contractual counterparty's professional advisor, provided that such Person shall have agreed in writing to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Lenders hereunder with the Borrower being a third party beneficiary of such agreement. Unless prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any request by any Governmental Authority (other than any request in connection with an examination of the financial condition of such Lender) for disclosure of Confidential Information prior to such disclosure; provided, further, that in no event shall the Administrative Agent or any Lender be obligated to return any materials furnished by the Borrower, Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries. This Section shall supersede any confidentiality letter or agreement with respect to the Borrower, the Guarantor or the Transaction entered into prior to the Closing Date.

Section 10.11 Tax Advice. None of the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent provides accounting, tax or legal advice. Notwithstanding anything provided herein, and any express or implied claims of exclusivity or proprietary rights, the Borrower each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby agree and acknowledge that the Borrower each Lender and Administrative Agent (and each of their employees, representatives or other agents) are authorized to disclose to any and all Persons, beginning immediately upon commencement of their discussions

119

and without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided by the Borrower, any Lender or the Administrative Agent to the other relating to such tax treatment and tax structure except to the extent that such disclosure is subject to restrictions reasonably necessary to comply with securities laws. In this regard, the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent acknowledge and agree that disclosure of the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has not been and is not limited in any way by an express or implied understanding or agreement, whether oral or written, and whether or not such understanding or agreement is legally binding, except to the extent that such disclosure is subject to restrictions reasonably necessary to comply with securities laws. For purposes of this authorization, "tax treatment" means the purported or claimed U.S. Federal income tax treatment of the transaction, and "tax structure" means any fact that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed U.S. Federal income tax treatment of the transaction. This Section 10.11 is intended to reflect the understanding of the Borrower, any Lender or the Administrative Agent that no Transaction contemplated by this Agreement has been offered under "Conditions of Confidentiality" as that phrase is used in Treasury Regulation 9 § 1.6011-4(b)(3)(i) and 301.6111-2(c)(i), and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith. Nothing herein is intended to imply that any of the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent has made or provided to, or for the benefit of, the other any oral or written statement as to any potential tax consequences that are related to, or may result from, the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 10.12 Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction. ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS, THE ISSUER OR THE BORROWER IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. THE PARTIES HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE AND IRREVOCABLY AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT

120

RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH LITIGATION, SUBJECT TO THE BORROWER'S RIGHT TO CONTEST SUCH JUDGMENT BY MOTION OR APPEAL ON ANY GROUNDS NOT EXPRESSLY WAIVED IN THIS Section 10.12. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK AT THE ADDRESS FOR NOTICES SPECIFIED IN Section 10.2. EACH OF THE BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, LENDER AND ISSUER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO WHICH IT MAY BE ENTITLED BY VIRTUE OF BEING DOMICILED IN SUCH JURISDICTION OR OTHERWISE, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE OR HEREAFTER MAY HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT BORROWER HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

Section 10.13 Waiver of Jury Trial THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS, THE ISSUER AND THE BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS, THE ISSUER OR THE BORROWER IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH

Form of Guaranty

[See attached]

AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY, dated as of May [___], 2015 (as amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time, this “Guaranty”), is made by Strategic Hotels & Resorts, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Guarantor”) to Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”) for the benefit of the Lenders (as defined below). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Strategic Hotel Funding, L.L.C. (“Borrower”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (“Lenders”), and Administrative Agent have entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of May 27, 2015 (as amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Guarantor entered into that certain Guaranty on April 25, 2014 (the “Original Guaranty”);

WHEREAS, the Guarantor and Administrative Agent have agreed to amend and restate the Original Guaranty and replace it in its entirety with this Guaranty;

WHEREAS, it is a condition to the extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement that the Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty;

WHEREAS, Guarantor is the owner of a direct or indirect beneficial interest in the Borrower and will obtain material direct and indirect benefits from the extensions of credit to Borrower under the Credit Agreement; and

WHEREAS, in order to induce the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to extend credit thereunder, and in recognition of the direct and indirect benefits received by Guarantor from the proceeds of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit, Guarantor desires to execute this Guaranty;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other benefits accruing to Guarantor, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby makes the following representations and warranties and hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

I. The Original Guaranty is hereby modified so that all of the terms and conditions of the Original Guaranty shall be restated in their entirety as set forth herein.

II. This Guaranty shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns, and shall be deemed to be effective as of the date hereof.


1.	Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees:

(a) to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, the full, prompt and unconditional payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of (i) the principal of and interest on the Revolving Notes and Term Loan Notes issued to, the Loans made to, any additional Revolving Loan Commitments and any additional Term Loan Commitments made to, and the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of, Borrower under the Credit Agreement and (ii) all other obligations (including obligations which, but for any automatic stay under Section 362(a)of Title 11 of the United States Code, entitled "Bankruptcy", as amended from time to time and any successor statute or statutes (the "Bankruptcy Code"), would become due) and liabilities owing by Borrower to the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents referred to therein (including, without limitation, indemnities, fees, and interest thereon) now existing or hereafter incurred under, arising out of or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the due performance and compliance with the terms, conditions, and agreements contained therein (all such principal, interest, liabilities, and obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

This Guaranty shall constitute a guaranty of payment, and not of collection and upon any failure of Borrower to pay the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent may, at the option of the Lenders, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against Guarantor to collect and recover the full amount of the liability to pay the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder or any portion thereof, without proceeding against Borrower or any other Person, or foreclosing upon, selling, or otherwise disposing of or collecting or applying against any of the collateral for the Loans.


1.

Additionally, Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all Guaranteed Obligations whether or not due or payable by Borrower upon the occurrence in respect of Borrower of any of the events specified in Section 8.1.9 of the Credit Agreement, and absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, on demand, in lawful money of the United States.

The liability of Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the indebtedness of Borrower whether executed by Guarantor, any other guarantor, Borrower, or by any other party, and the liability of Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by Borrower or by any other party, (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the indebtedness of Borrower, (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, (d) any dissolution, termination, or increase, decrease, or change in personnel by Borrower, or (e) any payment made to any Lender on the indebtedness which any Lender repays to Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, or other debtor relief proceeding, and Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.


4.	The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other guarantor or Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted

against Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other guarantor or Borrower and whether or not any other guarantor of Borrower or Borrower be joined in any such action or actions.

Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of any liability to which it may apply, and waives notices of the existence, creation, or incurring of additional Indebtedness, promptness, diligence, presentment, demand for performance, notice of non-performance, demand of payment, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment of any such liabilities, suit or taking of other action by Administrative Agent or any other Lender against, and any other notice to, any party liable thereon (including Guarantor or any other guarantor of Borrower).


6.	Any Lender or Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time without the consent of, or notice to, Guarantor, without incurring responsibility to Guarantor, without impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part:

(a) change the manner, place, or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and the guaranty herein made shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed, or altered;

(b) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon, or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset there against;

(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Borrower, any other guarantor, or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(d) settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of Borrower to creditors of such Borrower (other than the Lenders);

(e) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of Borrower to the Lenders regardless of what liabilities of such Borrower remain unpaid;

(f) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, any of the Loan Documents or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein, or

otherwise amend, modify, or supplement any of the Loan Documents or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or

(g) act or fail to act in any manner referred to in this Guaranty which may deprive Guarantor of its right to subrogation against Borrower to recover full indemnity for any payments made pursuant to this Guaranty.

No invalidity, irregularity, or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any security therefor shall affect, impair, or be a defense to this Guaranty, and this Guaranty shall be primary, absolute, and unconditional notwithstanding the occurrence of any event or the existence of any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor except payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.

This Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. No failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Lender or the Administrative Agent would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on Guarantor in any case shall entitle Guarantor to any other further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. It is not necessary for any Lender or the Administrative Agent to inquire into the capacity or powers of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, partners, or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

Any Indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor now or hereafter existing, including, without limitation, any rights to subrogation which Guarantor may have as a result of any payment by Guarantor under this Guaranty, together with any interest thereon, shall be, and such Indebtedness is, hereby deferred, postponed and subordinated to the prior payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Until payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, including interest accruing on the Loans (including, any Term Loan Notes and Revolving Notes) after the commencement of a proceeding by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code which interest the parties agree shall remain a claim that is prior and superior to any claim of Guarantor notwithstanding any contrary practice, custom or ruling in cases under the Bankruptcy Code generally, Guarantor agrees not to accept any payment or satisfaction of any kind of Indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor and hereby assigns such Indebtedness to the Administrative Agent, including the right to file proof of claim and to vote thereon in connection with any such proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, including the right to vote on any plan of reorganization.


10.	Guarantor:

(a) hereby waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent or Lenders to: (i) proceed against Borrower, any other guarantor of Borrower, or any other party; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower, any other guarantor of Borrower, or any other party; or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s power whatsoever. Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of Borrower, any other guarantor of Borrower, or any other party other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of Borrower, any other guarantor of Borrower, or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of Borrower other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations of Borrower. The Lenders may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders by one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Lenders or Administrative Agent may have against Borrower or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full. Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Administrative Agent and/or any other Lenders, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Guarantor against Borrower, any other guarantor of Borrower, or any other party or any security.

(b) assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope, and extent of the risks which Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have no duty to advise Guarantor of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

11.

If and to the extent that Guarantor makes any payment to any Lender or to any other Person pursuant to or in respect of this Guaranty, then any claim which Guarantor may have against Borrower by reason thereof shall be subject and subordinate to the prior payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations to each Lender. Prior to the transfer by Guarantor of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any Indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor, Guarantor shall mark such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination.

12.

Guarantor covenants and agrees that on and after the date hereof and until the Commitments under the Credit Agreement have been terminated and all Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full, Guarantor shall take, or will refrain from taking, as the case may be, all actions that are necessary to be taken or not taken so that no Event of Default is caused by the actions of Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.


13.	Guarantor hereby agrees to pay, to the extent not paid by Borrower pursuant to Section 10.3 of the Credit Agreement, all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation,

the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) of each Administrative Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty or the collection of the Guaranteed Obligations and in connection with any amendment, waiver, or consent relating to this Guaranty.


14.	This Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their successors and assigns to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement.

15.

Neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except with the written consent of the Required Lenders (or to the extent required by Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement, each Lender, as the case may be) and Guarantor affected thereby (it being understood that the addition or release of Guarantor hereunder shall not constitute a change, waiver, discharge or termination affecting Guarantor other than the Guarantor so added or released).


16.	Guarantor acknowledges that an executed (or conformed) copy of each of the Loan Documents has been made available to its principal executive officers and such officers are familiar with the contents thereof.

17.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized, at any time or from time to time, without notice to Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Guarantor, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor to such Lender under this Guaranty, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder; provided that said obligations, liabilities, deposits, or claims, or any of them, shall be then due and owing. Each Lender agrees to promptly notify Guarantor after any such set off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application.

18.

All notices, requests, demands, or other communications provided for hereunder made in writing (including communications by facsimile transmission) shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered to the Person to which such notice, request, demand, or other communication is required or permitted to be given or made under this Guaranty, addressed to such party (i) in the case of any Lender, as provided in the Credit Agreement and (ii) in the case of Guarantor, at its address set forth in Schedule I to this Guaranty.

19.

Guarantor hereby agrees that if at any time all or any part of any payment at any time received by a Lender from the Borrower under any of the Term Loan Notes, Revolving Notes or other Loan Documents or from Guarantor under or with respect to this Guaranty is or must be rescinded or returned by such Lender for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor),

then Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall, to the extent of the payment rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such previous receipt by such Lender, and Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or reinstated, as the case may be, as to such payment, as though such previous payment to the Lender had never been made. In addition, if any court of competent jurisdiction determines that the incurrence by Guarantor of its obligations under this Guaranty or the payment by Guarantor of its obligations hereunder is or would be voidable as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, any analogous state law, or any other law relating to debtor protection or creditors' rights, the obligation of Guarantor hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum amount (if any) of the obligation that the Guarantor could incur or pay without such incurrence or payment being subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

20.

GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. GUARANTOR AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING THEREIN AND CONSENTS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURT AND THE SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT BEING MADE UPON GUARANTOR IN THE MANNER AND AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED FOR NOTICES IN THIS AGREEMENT. GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT OR ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH SUIT IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT.

(a) JURY TRIAL WAIVER. GUARANTOR AND ALL PERSONS CLAIMING BY, THROUGH OR UNDER IT, HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF GUARANTOR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH. GUARANTOR AND ALL PERSONS CLAIMING BY, THROUGH OR UNDER IT, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION (AND EACH OTHER PROVISION OF EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY) AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE AGENT’S ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF THIS GUARANTY ON BEHALF OF THE LENDERS AND THE LENDERS’ ENTERING INTO EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.

(b) MARSHALING. GUARANTOR WAIVES ANY RIGHT OR CLAIM OF RIGHT TO CAUSE A MARSHALING OF BORROWER’S ASSETS OR TO CAUSE ANY LENDER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO PROCEED AGAINST ANY OF THE

SECURITY FOR THE LOAN BEFORE PROCEEDING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AGAINST BORROWER OR TO PROCEED AGAINST GUARANTOR IN ANY PARTICULAR ORDER. GUARANTOR AGREES THAT ANY PAYMENTS REQUIRED TO BE MADE HEREUNDER SHALL BECOME DUE AND PAYABLE TEN (10) DAYS AFTER DEMAND. GUARANTOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES AND RELINQUISHES ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES (INCLUDING ANY RIGHTS OF SUBROGATION) ACCORDED BY APPLICABLE LAW TO GUARANTOR.

21.

The Lenders agree that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of Administrative Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders and until the Credit Agreement is terminated, no other Lender shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders upon the terms of this Guaranty.


22.	This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.


23.	THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER WRITTEN LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BY THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.


24.	Except with respect to Section 19 hereof, upon repayment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, this Guaranty shall automatically terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect.

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY, dated as of May [___], 2015 (as amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time, this “Guaranty”), is made by each of the undersigned (each, a “Guarantor” and together with any other entity that becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 23 hereof, collectively, the “Guarantors”) to Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”) for the benefit of the Lenders (as defined below). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, each Guarantor is a Subsidiary of Borrower;

WHEREAS, certain of the Guarantors entered into that certain Subsidiary Guaranty on April 25, 2014 (the “Original Subsidiary Guaranty”);

WHEREAS, the Guarantors and Administrative Agent have agreed to amend and restate the Original Subsidiary Guaranty and replace it in its entirety with this Guaranty;

WHEREAS, it is a condition to the extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement that each Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty; and

WHEREAS, each Guarantor will obtain material direct and indirect benefits from the extensions of credit to Borrower under the Credit Agreement and, accordingly, desires to execute this Guaranty in order to satisfy the conditions described in the preceding paragraph;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other benefits accruing to each Guarantor, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby makes the following representations and warranties and hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

I. The Original Subsidiary Guaranty is hereby modified so that all of the terms and conditions of the Original Subsidiary Guaranty shall be restated in their entirety as set forth herein.

II. This Guaranty shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns, and shall be deemed to be effective as of the date hereof.

25. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally, and jointly and severally, guarantees:

(including obligations which, but for any automatic stay under Section 362(a)of Title 11 of the United States Code, entitled "Bankruptcy", as amended from time to time and any successor statute or statutes (the "Bankruptcy Code"), would become due) and liabilities owing by Borrower to the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents referred to therein (including, without limitation, indemnities, fees, and interest thereon) now existing or hereafter incurred under, arising out of or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the due performance and compliance with the terms, conditions, and agreements contained therein (all such principal, interest, liabilities, and obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

26. Additionally, each Guarantor jointly and severally, and absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees the payment of any and all Guaranteed Obligations whether or not due or payable by Borrower upon the occurrence in respect of Borrower of any of the events specified in Section 8.1.9 of the Credit Agreement, and unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly and severally, promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, on demand, in lawful money of the United States.

27. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the indebtedness of Borrower whether executed by such Guarantor, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor, Borrower, or by any other party, and the liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by Borrower or by any other party, (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the indebtedness of Borrower, (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, (d) any dissolution, termination, or increase, decrease, or change in personnel by Borrower, or (e) any payment made to any Lender on the indebtedness which any Lender repays to Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, or other debtor relief proceeding, and each Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.

28. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or Borrower and whether or not any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of Borrower or Borrower be joined in any such action or actions.

29. Each Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of any liability to which it may apply, and waives notices of the existence, creation, or incurring of additional Indebtedness, promptness, diligence, presentment, demand for performance, notice of non-performance, demand of payment, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment of any such liabilities, suit or taking of other action by Administrative Agent or any other Lender against, and any other notice to, any party liable thereon (including such Guarantor or any other guarantor of Borrower).

30. Any Lender or Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, without incurring responsibility to such Guarantor, without impairing or releasing the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part:

(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Borrower, any other guarantor, or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(e) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of Borrower to the Lenders regardless of what liabilities of such Borrower remain unpaid;

(f) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, any of the Loan Documents or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein, or otherwise amend, modify, or supplement any of the Loan Documents or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or

(g) act or fail to act in any manner referred to in this Guaranty which may deprive such Guarantor of its right to subrogation against Borrower to recover full indemnity for any payments made pursuant to this Guaranty.

31. No invalidity, irregularity, or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any security therefor shall affect, impair, or be a defense to this Guaranty, and this Guaranty shall be primary, absolute, and unconditional notwithstanding the occurrence of any event or the existence of any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor except payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.

32. This Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. No failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive

of any rights or remedies which any Lender or the Administrative Agent would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. It is not necessary for any Lender or the Administrative Agent to inquire into the capacity or powers of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, partners, or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

33. Any Indebtedness of Borrower to any Guarantor, excluding Indebtedness arising in the ordinary course of business in connection with a centralized cash management system used by Borrower and some or all of its Affiliates, now or hereafter existing, including, without limitation, any rights to subrogation which any Guarantor may have as a result of any payment by such Guarantor under this Guaranty, together with any interest thereon, shall be, and such Indebtedness is, hereby deferred, postponed and subordinated to the prior payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Until payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, including interest accruing on the Loans (including, any Term Loan Notes and Revolving Notes) after the commencement of a proceeding by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code which interest the parties agree shall remain a claim that is prior and superior to any claim of Guarantor notwithstanding any contrary practice, custom or ruling in cases under the Bankruptcy Code generally, Guarantor agrees not to accept any payment or satisfaction of any kind of Indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor (other than the Indebtedness excluded in the preceding sentence) and hereby assigns such Indebtedness to the Administrative Agent, including the right to file proof of claim and to vote thereon in connection with any such proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, including the right to vote on any plan of reorganization.

34. Each Guarantor:

(a) hereby waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent or Lenders to: (i) proceed against Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of Borrower, or any other party; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of Borrower, or any other party; or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s power whatsoever. Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of Borrower, or any other party other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of Borrower, or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of Borrower other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations of Borrower. The Lenders may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Lenders or Administrative Agent may have against Borrower or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full. Each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Administrative Agent and/or any other Lenders, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of Borrower, or any other party or any security.

(b) assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope, and extent of the risks which any Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have no duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

35. If and to the extent that any Guarantor makes any payment to any Lender or to any other Person pursuant to or in respect of this Guaranty, then any claim which such Guarantor may have against Borrower by reason thereof shall be subject and subordinate to the prior payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations to each Lender. Prior to the transfer by any Guarantor of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any Indebtedness of Borrower to such Guarantor, such Guarantor shall mark such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination.

36. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that on and after the date hereof and until the Commitments under the Credit Agreement have been terminated and all Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full, such Guarantor shall take, or will refrain from taking, as the case may be, all actions that are necessary to be taken or not taken so that no Event of Default is caused by the actions of such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

37. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally agrees to pay, to the extent not paid by Borrower pursuant to Section 10.3 of the Credit Agreement, all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) of each Administrative Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty or the collection of the Guaranteed Obligations and in connection with any amendment, waiver, or consent relating to this Guaranty.

38. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their successors and assigns to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement.

39. Neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except with the written consent of the Required Lenders (or to the extent required by Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement, each Lender, as the case may be) and each Guarantor affected thereby (it being understood that the addition or release of any Guarantor hereunder shall not constitute a change, waiver, discharge or termination affecting any Guarantor other than the Guarantor so added or released). In the event that any Guarantor is released from the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 7.1.22 of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent, at the request and expense of such Guarantor, shall execute and deliver an instrument acknowledging such Guarantor's release from this Guaranty.

40. Each Guarantor acknowledges that an executed (or conformed) copy of each of the Loan Documents has been made available to its principal executive officers and such officers are familiar with the contents thereof.

41. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized, at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Guarantor to such Lender under this Guaranty, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall

have made any demand hereunder; provided that said obligations, liabilities, deposits, or claims, or any of them, shall be then due and owing. Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the relevant Guarantor after any such set off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application.

42. All notices, requests, demands, or other communications provided for hereunder made in writing (including communications by facsimile transmission) shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered to the Person to which such notice, request, demand, or other communication is required or permitted to be given or made under this Guaranty, addressed to such party (i) in the case of any Lender, as provided in the Credit Agreement and (ii) in the case of each Guarantor, at its address set forth in Schedule I to this Guaranty.

43. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that if at any time all or any part of any payment at any time received by a Lender from the Borrower under any of the Term Loan Notes, Revolving Notes or other Loan Documents or from any Guarantor under or with respect to this Guaranty is or must be rescinded or returned by such Lender for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any such Guarantor), then each Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall, to the extent of the payment rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such previous receipt by such Lender, and each Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or reinstated, as the case may be, as to such payment, as though such previous payment to the Lender had never been made. In addition, if any court of competent jurisdiction determines that the incurrence by any Guarantor of its obligations under this Guaranty or the payment by a Guarantor of its obligations hereunder is or would be voidable as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, any analogous state law, or any other law relating to debtor protection or creditors' rights, the obligation of that Guarantor hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum amount (if any) of the obligation that the Guarantor could incur or pay without such incurrence or payment being subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. Each Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall not exceed its tangible net worth.

44. (a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING THEREIN AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO WHICH THEY MAY BE ENTITLED TO BY VIRTUE OF THEIR PRESENT OR FUTURE DOMICILE OR OTHERWISE.

(b) JURY TRIAL WAIVER. EACH GUARANTOR AND ALL PERSONS CLAIMING BY, THROUGH OR UNDER IT, HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF EACH GUARANTOR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH. EACH GUARANTOR AND ALL PERSONS CLAIMING BY, THROUGH OR UNDER IT, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION (AND EACH OTHER PROVISION OF EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY) AND THAT THIS PROVISION

IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE AGENT’S ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF THIS GUARANTY ON BEHALF OF THE LENDERS AND THE LENDERS’ ENTERING INTO EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.

(c) MARSHALING. EACH GUARANTOR WAIVES ANY RIGHT OR CLAIM OF RIGHT TO CAUSE A MARSHALING OF BORROWER’S ASSETS OR TO CAUSE ANY LENDER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO PROCEED AGAINST ANY OF THE SECURITY FOR THE LOAN BEFORE PROCEEDING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AGAINST BORROWER OR TO PROCEED AGAINST GUARANTOR IN ANY PARTICULAR ORDER. EACH GUARANTOR AGREES THAT ANY PAYMENTS REQUIRED TO BE MADE HEREUNDER SHALL BECOME DUE AND PAYABLE TEN (10) DAYS AFTER DEMAND. EACH GUARANTOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES AND RELINQUISHES ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES (INCLUDING ANY RIGHTS OF SUBROGATION) ACCORDED BY APPLICABLE LAW TO SUCH GUARANTOR.

45. The Lenders agree that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of Administrative Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders and until the Credit Agreement is terminated, no other Lender shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders upon the terms of this Guaranty.

46. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

47. It is understood and agreed that any Subsidiary of Borrower that is required to execute a counterpart of this Guaranty after the date hereof pursuant to the Credit Agreement shall become a Guarantor hereunder by executing a counterpart hereof and delivering the same to Administrative Agent.

48. THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER WRITTEN LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BY THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

49. Except with respect to Section 19 hereof, upon repayment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, this Guaranty shall automatically terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect.

[Remainder of page intentionally left blank. Signature pages follow.]

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Guarantor has caused this Guaranty to be executed and delivered as of the date first above written.

Form of Solvency Certificate

SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

This Certificate is furnished to the Lenders pursuant to Section 5.1.12 of the Amended and Restated Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, dated as of May 27, 2015, by and among the Borrower, the various financial institutions as are or may become parties thereto and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as Administrative Agent (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.


5.	For purposes of this Certificate, I have performed the following procedures:


(a)	I have reviewed the financial statements used to provide evidence of pro forma financial covenant compliance; and


(b)	I have knowledge and have reviewed to my satisfaction the Loan Documents and all the other respective documents relating thereto, and the respective schedules and exhibits thereto.


6.	Based on and subject to the foregoing, I hereby certify on behalf of the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor (or, during an Investment Grade Rating Period, each wholly-owned Subsidiary) that, after giving effect to the Credit Agreement, it is my opinion that:

(a)

Borrower has no liabilities other than the amounts currently outstanding under the Credit Agreement and those liabilities reflected in the financial statements of Borrower previously delivered to the Administrative Agent (as such liabilities have been reduced in the ordinary course or paid off with the proceeds of the Loan), and liabilities incurred in the ordinary course and not materially different than the ones reflected on the most recent of such financial statements, and as disclosed in Schedule III to the Credit Agreement; and

(b) Such Subsidiaries have no liabilities other than the amounts currently outstanding under the Credit Agreement and those liabilities reflected in the financial statements of such Subsidiaries previously delivered to the Administrative Agent (as such liabilities have been reduced in the ordinary course or paid off with the proceeds of the Loan), and liabilities

incurred in the ordinary course and not materially different than the ones reflected on the most recent of such financial statements.

Each of Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor (or, during an Investment Grade Rating Period, each wholly-owned Subsidiary) (taken as a whole), after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, is a going concern and does not lack sufficient capital for its needs and currently anticipated needs, without substantial unplanned disposition of assets outside the ordinary course of business, restructuring of debt, externally forced revisions of its operations or other similar actions.
